DISCOVERCreate a survival and bushcraft app
Extreme survival app: your bushcraft guides by subscription, your field courses announced by push
Lighting a fire in the rain, building an emergency shelter, making water safe to drink: your techniques become illustrated guides your subscribers carry everywhere. And every new course date goes out as a notification to the people who live nearby.
For the survival or bushcraft instructor who teaches in the field, an iPhone and Android app, plus its web version, built without code: a library of technique guides reserved for subscribers, a few free guides to spark interest, the course calendar, and an alert for every date you add.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Your techniques, as guides for subscribers
A few open guides to set the tone, the whole library for those who subscribe
Each technique becomes an article: the gear, the steps in photos, the mistakes that cost dearly, and a video of the move where words fall short. You decide guide by guide what stays free and what needs a subscription (ten locked ones at the very least); in front of a closed guide, the curious reader gets the first lines, then an offer to subscribe. They do it with one tap in the iPhone or Android app: their Apple or Google account pays, every month or every year.
A guide that goes in the pack
Step-by-step photos, a video of the move, a printable PDF
Attach the printable PDF version to the guide, ready to slip into a waterproof pocket: on a reserved article, the file stays hidden from anyone without a subscription. Subscribers bookmark their guides to find them fast. A page opened with a signal stays readable once the connection drops, so invite them to go through the guides they need before heading into the woods.
A new course date, a notification
The course calendar in the app, the announcement sent to the right region
List your field courses in an Agenda section: dates, location, required level, gear to bring. When you add a date, the notification leaves at once, or on the day and hour you set. Target a geographic area so that the autumn course in the Highlands only alerts people nearby, or target your subscribers alone, who already know how you teach.
Course sign-ups go through you
A request form, or a link to your registration page
The subscription sold in the app unlocks your content, and nothing else: a field course is paid for outside the app, as it is today. On the course page, a form collects requests (name, chosen date, level, dietary needs) and sends them to you by email; or a link leads to the registration page on your website. You confirm the places and take payment your own way.
AI, from the bivouac to the desk
Three uses, and what they cost.
To answer
An assistant that knows your guides
“How do I light a fire with damp wood?” The Chatbot searches the guides you have published and points to the one the answer came from. A reader without a subscription only gets what the free guides say.
29€/month
To calculate
A water planner for the bivouac
Tell the AI Extension Builder what the tool should do, say estimate the water to carry for a given duration, heat and effort, using your own benchmarks: it builds the section, in your colors. One idea among many; you describe the tool you need.
Free
To publish
The guide of the month, posted by your assistant
Once the MCP server links it to your app, the assistant you already use (Claude, ChatGPT) publishes the new guide and drafts the push that announces it; nothing goes out without your approval.
Included
Inside a survival instructor's app
Sections by theme
Fire, water, shelter, navigation, knots, plants: your guides arranged the way you teach.
Videos of the move
Carving a notch, striking a ferro rod, pitching a tarp. No bandwidth bill; storage space varies with your plan.
Bookmarks
Each subscriber sets aside the guides to reread before a bivouac.
Photos from your courses
Galleries that show the terrain, the shelters built, the mood of the group.
Complimentary subscriptions
Does a weekend participant deserve a month of reading? Give them the subscription from the back office.
A web app
Once they have subscribed in the app, readers also find their guides in a browser.
The bushcraft school
It keeps its guides on knots, knives and fire for subscribers, and fills its spring courses with a push sent to subscribers in its region.
The extreme survival trainer
Winter mountain courses appear in the Agenda; the mandatory kit list is a guide open to all, which every participant checks before leaving.
The hiking guide
When the business is selling guided day outings, a booking app is a better fit.
The app for guided hikesThe price of a survival app with subscriptions
No subscriptions without a native app. On Premium, Memberships is an option; on Pro, it is part of the plan. Agenda, Form, videos and push leave the bill as it is.
| Premium · iPhone, Android and web apps | 55€ /month, billed yearly |
| Memberships, added to Premium | 49€ /month |
| Pro · Memberships built in | 105€ /month, billed yearly |
GoodBarber earns nothing on your subscriptions; the stores keep their share, usually 15%. Each store's developer account is paid on its own.
Extension Store
Only Memberships is paid, as an option on Premium (Pro includes it); Agenda, Form, videos and notifications come free.
Survival app by subscription: your questions
Can I charge for a field course in the app?
No. In-app purchase unlocks content (guides, videos, reserved sections), never a place on a course. The course is paid elsewhere, on your website or on the day; the app announces it and gathers requests through a form.
How many guides do I need before opening subscriptions?
Ten reserved items at the very least. Free guides do not count toward that total, and on each locked guide you choose how many paragraphs stay readable for everyone.
Do my guides stay readable without a signal?
A page already opened with a connection stays readable offline afterwards. Advise your subscribers to open the guides they will need before they leave, or to print the attached PDF.
Can I offer a beginner plan and an expert plan?
No: every subscriber gets the same thing, there is only one level. Only the length changes: monthly or yearly, each with its own price on the App Store and on Google Play, plus a free trial if you want one.
Who takes what on a subscription?
GoodBarber, nothing. Apple and Google, their commission: usually 15%, and at Apple 30% over each subscriber's first year as long as you have not joined its program for small businesses.
Can course participants talk to each other in the app?
Not with subscriptions: Memberships and community features (Chat, User groups) cannot live in the same app. Conversations happen on the course; the app brings them your guides and your announcements.
Your survival and bushcraft guides sold by subscription in your own app, without GoodBarber taking any commission
Reserved and free guides, printable PDFs, videos of each move, a course calendar, push targeted by region, sign-up requests through a form.
