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.

Your agents keep working. You keep living. Claude Code runs on your own machine. When it stops to ask, your phone gets the question. Answer with a tap, and it keeps going. WHILE YOU WERE OUT 2:47 PM. You leave. Claude Code is mid release in ~/dev/acme-api. 3:12 PM. It hits the one thing it cannot decide alone. 3:13 PM. You read the plan in the lunch line and tap Allow. 3:19 PM. Shipped. Your laptop never opened. WHAT YOU GET A card for the quick yes. The question arrives as a push and answers like a text. The real terminal for everything else. Your actual session, live from your machine, for when you want to look around first. A trackpad. Swipe instead of hunting arrow keys on a phone. Dictation. Say the next prompt at the speed of thought, not of one thumb. Every machine you own. macOS, Linux, WSL. Pair them all, one app. YOUR CODE NEVER MOVES End to end encrypted, so the relays that carry your traffic cannot read a byte of it. No account, because pairing is a QR code between your phone and your machine. No telemetry. Ciao phones home to your machine and nowhere else. SETUP IS ONE COMMAND curl -fsSL https://ciaooo.app/install.sh | sh It ends at a QR code. Scan it with the app. Then go. WATCHING IS FREE. ACTING IS PRO. Pairing, sessions, live output and every notification are free forever. Sending, steering and answering your agents is Ciao Pro, and the first 20 are on the house. Ciao Pro is $9.99 per month or $89.99 per year, and a new subscription starts with a free week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free week ends. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
