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.

TinyWalk
This utility generates synthetic HealthKit test data for developers and QA testers. It simulates step counts, walking distance, and workouts to help test app functionality without manual data entry or simulator limitations. The app offers various dataset options and control over data provenance and timing.
- Generate synthetic HealthKit data
- Simulate step counts and distance
- Create workout sessions
- Control data provenance (user-entered)
- Back-dated and live generation options
- Background continuation for long runs
- Realistic sample variance

TinyWalk is a developer utility for generating synthetic HealthKit test data on a real device. Building or QA-testing an app that reads step counts, walking distance, or workouts? Populating a test dataset by hand in the Health app is slow, and the iOS Simulator cannot reproduce device-only HealthKit behavior. TinyWalk writes well-formed sample data in one tap so you can exercise your read paths, charts, aggregation windows, and permission flows against realistic input. [What it writes] • HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount — as one sample per write, or split into per-minute samples • HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDistanceWalkingRunning — derived at 0.75 m/step, and optional • HKWorkout (.walking) — wraps the per-minute samples in a single session, so your workout-reading code has something to parse [Features] • Seven dataset options: presets at 100, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 steps, plus a custom target — type any step count up to 100,000, or set a duration up to 4 hours and let it run until time is up. • Provenance control: write samples tagged HKMetadataKeyWasUserEntered (as the Health app does for hand-typed values) or without that tag. Most apps branch on this flag, so testing that branch needs both. • Back-dated generation: spread a dataset minute-by-minute across a past time range, so you can test how your app aggregates historical data without waiting in real time. • Live generation: write progressively over a countdown, to test how your app reacts to HealthKit data arriving while it runs. • Background continuation: a live run keeps writing after you switch apps or lock the screen, and notifies you when it finishes (requires iOS 26 or later). • Realistic variance: samples carry ±12% per-minute variation and a configurable cadence (walk / jog / run) so your charts and averages are tested against non-uniform input instead of a flat series. • Local log of every dataset written, so you can find and clean up what you generated. • No account required. Core data generation runs entirely on your device — with in-app feedback (Settings → Feedback) available if you choose to send a message or screenshot to our support channel. [Important] The data TinyWalk writes is synthetic. It is intended for developing and testing your own software. Do not use it to represent real activity, and do not use it in fitness challenges, insurance or workplace wellness programs, games, or any other context where step counts earn rewards. Samples written by TinyWalk can be deleted at any time from the Health app. [Pro Lifetime Unlock] The 100-step and 1,000-step presets are free. A single one-time purchase permanently unlocks the 2,000 / 3,000 / 5,000 / 10,000-step presets, custom step and duration targets, and background continuation, and removes daily generation limits.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TinyWalk at 5.0 against Mobile IDE's 4.3. TinyWalk also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months). Mobile IDE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mobile IDE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and TinyWalk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TinyWalk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. 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.
Mobile IDE ships an update every 7 months, TinyWalk every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
