Inspiration Building iOS apps today still feels overly complex. Designers hand off Figma files, developers rewrite them into Swift, and endless back-and-forth slows everything down. We wanted to create a way for people to go from design to real Swift apps instantly, without touching boilerplate or spending weeks on setup. What it does Our platform is a vibe-based coding tool for macOS that lets you build Swift apps visually. You can design, prototype, and generate production-ready code in one flow. Instead of juggling tools or translating designs, you create apps directly — with the platform handling the underlying Swift code for you. It’s as intuitive as design software, but outputs real, native apps. How I built it We combined Next.js and Swift with a custom rendering engine that understands iOS components and layouts. On top of that, we layered an AI assistant that helps generate code snippets, connect logic, and guide users through app-building. The vibe is inspired by design tools (smooth, visual, creative) but grounded in developer precision. Challenges I ran into Bridging the gap between design-level abstraction and real Swift code. Ensuring the generated apps aren’t just prototypes, but production-grade. Designing a UX that feels playful and creative, while also powerful enough for professionals. Accomplishments that I'm proud of The first working prototypes that can go from canvas to Xcode in minutes. A clean, modern macOS experience that feels native and delightful. Proving that you can build iOS apps without drowning in boilerplate. What I learned Developers crave speed and clarity just as much as non-coders crave simplicity. Building for Apple’s ecosystem requires attention to detail — you can’t fake “native.” The future of coding is not no-code, but AI-assisted and vibe-driven tools that empower creativity. What's next for [Superapp] Private beta in 3 weeks with early builders. Expanding AI capabilities to cover logic, APIs, and data modeling. Adding export options so projects can flow directly into Xcode or be deployed instantly. Long-term: making this the go-to tool for anyone who wants to create iOS apps — from indie hackers to professional teams.
