Stop downloading another tiny app. Make yours. MakeYour turns a sentence into a native tiny app inside one trusted iPhone app. Build trackers, checklists, calculators, reminder workflows, photo journals, live-data dashboards, ledgers, or gamesβ€”then keep and switch among them. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD β€’ Personal record collections with notes, numbers, dates, totals, completion, and reminders β€’ Task lists and local notification workflows β€’ Calculators and currency-conversion tools β€’ Credited BBC/NPR news collections with local search, topics, and bookmarks β€’ Stock and ETF watchlists with latest/delayed Twelve Data quotes and charts β€’ Income and expense ledgers with balances, budgets, and category totals β€’ Complete original platform and Snake games with touch controls and scoring β€’ Photo-first private journals and trackers using selected or captured images β€’ Latest daily FX watchlists with a chosen base currency, editable currencies, and threshold alerts β€’ Tap-initiated camera, QR/barcode/text scanning, one-time location, contact and text-file selection, today's steps, sharing, clipboard write, and haptic feedback β€’ Local voice notes with optional on-device-only transcription, editable review, and no network-recognition fallback β€’ Explicitly opted-in tiny apps that open from Apple Shortcuts or Siri through one authenticated foreground action β€’ Focused AI helpers that receive only text you explicitly review and send YOUR STYLE, NOT ONE TEMPLATE Generated apps can use different native themes, typography, backgrounds, layouts, spacing, surfaces, imagery, symbols, and colors while remaining accessible and familiar. BRING YOUR OWN OPENAI KEY Your API key is stored in iOS Keychain for this device only. AI requests travel directly from your iPhone to OpenAI. MakeYour does not operate an account or proxy server and never puts your key in a project file or prompt. Market Pocket includes AAPL demo access. Other symbols can use an optional Twelve Data key stored in the device-only Keychain. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Projects, records, bookmarks, watchlists, ledgers, voice notes, accepted transcripts, and selected or captured results stay on your iPhone. Device access starts only after you tap, scanned URLs are not opened automatically, and there is no background audio, speech, location, or motion monitoring. Speech transcription requires an available on-device language model and never falls back to network recognition. Sharing leaves MakeYour only after you choose a destination in Apple's share sheet. Before an in-app AI request, MakeYour shows the exact task and text that will be sent. An accepted transcript may become editable text, but its audio is never attached. Photos, records, other apps, and device data are not attached automatically. When generated versions include the visible Shortcuts access block, Apple's dynamic picker receives only opted-in tiny apps' stable IDs, display names, and validated icons. The fixed action requires local device authentication and opens MakeYour in the foreground. It receives no prompt, state, photos, voice notes, provider keys, or generated automation code. Removing the block or deleting a tiny app revokes that app's listing. SAFE NATIVE RUNTIME AI does not download or execute Swift, JavaScript, plug-ins, or arbitrary code. It creates a validated declarative app document. MakeYour renders that document using precompiled native SwiftUI components and a fixed capability allowlist. Network components use only fixed, precompiled providers: Frankfurter for latest daily FX reference rates, BBC/NPR for credited RSS feeds, Twelve Data for latest/delayed market data, and OpenAI for user-authorized AI. Market and currency values are not guaranteed real-time and are not financial advice. Camera capture, live scanning, pedometer data, and meaningful haptic feedback require supported physical iPhone hardware. Unsupported devices and Simulator show an honest unavailable state.
