Mobile IDE – build working apps from a prompt, a sketch or your voice Describe an idea in plain words and Mobile IDE builds a real multi-file web app (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) that runs instantly in a live preview right on your iPhone. No laptop, no setup, no account. LIVE PREVIEW Every project runs on your device in a built-in preview and keeps working offline once it is built. Tap through your app, test it and open it full screen. REAL PROJECTS, NOT SNIPPETS Each project has its own files and a file tree. Read the code with syntax highlighting, copy it, or edit any file by hand in the Code tab. ITERATE IN PLAIN WORDS Ask for a change like "Make the buttons blue and add dark mode". The AI agent updates only the files that need it and shows exactly what changed, with added and removed lines for every file. UNDO AND VERSION HISTORY Every change is saved as a new version. Undo in one tap, compare versions line by line and restore any earlier one. Nothing is ever lost. SKETCH TO APP Take a photo of a hand-drawn sketch or pick a screenshot of any screen, and Mobile IDE turns it into a working interface. VOICE PROMPTS Say what the app should do and watch the live transcript turn into a new app or a change request. EXPORT AND SHARE Save your project as a ZIP to the Files app or send it to your Mac with AirDrop, then keep working in your favorite editor. START FROM A TEMPLATE Habit tracker, landing page, portfolio site, quiz game, snake game, or anything else you can describe. PERFECT FOR • Indie makers and founders prototyping an idea • Designers turning sketches into clickable mockups • Students learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript • Developers who want to build on the go • Anyone curious about vibe coding Light and Dark appearance, haptics and a clean, focused workspace.

Take the power of your local AI dev stack everywhere. OpenMono is the official mobile companion for OpenMonoAgent.ai—the open-source, terminal-native coding agent that you own, not rent. Why OpenMono? OpenMono is built on the belief that AI should be infrastructure sitting on your desk, serving your code, and answering only to you. This app enables "Dual-Box" mode: run heavy inference on your home GPU rig (RTX 3090/4090/5090) and control the agentic workflow securely from your iPhone. Key Features: • Dual-Box Connectivity: Seamlessly bridge the gap between your mobile device and your local GPU infrastructure. Works behind any NAT/CGNAT via our secure outbound-only relay. • Unlimited Tokens, Zero Cost: Stop watching the meter. Since the model runs on your hardware, your prompts are free, unlimited, and private forever. • Agentic Code Execution: OpenMono doesn’t just suggest code; it reasons. Perform multi-file refactors, architectural analysis, and automated testing from a mobile-optimized terminal. • Built for .NET Developers: Deep integration with Roslyn allows the agent to understand type hierarchies, call graphs, and cross-assembly references with compiler-level accuracy. • Docker-Native Sandboxing: Every destructive operation is gated. Your code is bind-mounted into a container, ensuring the agent remains isolated and secure. • MCP & Tooling Support: Access 20+ built-in tools and extend your agent’s capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Infrastructure Highlights: • Local-first, always. No one else sees your code. • Powered by C#/.NET. • Supports high-performance LLMs (Qwen, Llama, etc.) optimized for your specific hardware.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mobile IDE holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile IDE has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mobile IDE's written reviews are positive against 100% of OpenMono's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
