Kiln — Build your own apps, just by asking. Kiln is a new kind of iPhone app: instead of downloading a separate app for every little thing you want to track, you describe what you need and Kiln builds it for you on the spot. "Track my pushups with a streak." "A gratitude journal that nudges me at 9pm." "Count how many coffees I drink this week and chart it." In seconds, you have a real, native mini-app — yours to use, edit, and reshape whenever your routine changes. Why people love Kiln • Describe it in plain English — no setup, no settings menus, no friction. • Native, fast, and gorgeous. Every mini-app is built from real SwiftUI components, not a website wrapped in an app. • Edit anything by asking. "Add a reminder at 8am." Done. • Start from a template or start from scratch. • Your data stays on your device. Stop hunting the App Store for the "perfect" habit tracker, counter, or journal. Just describe the one you want.
