Isn't a mobile-friendly website enough?

A responsive site is the baseline, but it lives in a browser tab people forget. An installed app earns a home-screen icon, opens full screen, can send push notifications and is found in store search. For products people use repeatedly, that difference shows up directly in retention.

Do I need a separate codebase for the app?

No. Modern tooling wraps your existing website into a real app, so you maintain one product. Update the web and the app updates with it.

Will an app actually increase retention?

For habitual or transactional products — SaaS, stores, communities, courses — yes, mainly through the home-screen icon and push notifications that bring people back. For a one-off brochure site, the gain is smaller.

Is it worth it for a small site or solo founder?

If your site is a SaaS, a store or a content product with repeat visits, a one-time build (often under 20€ plus Google's 25$) is one of the cheapest growth levers available. If it's a static page you rarely update, it's lower priority.
