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.
