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.

Blank is a blank page with a genie living in it. Tap the black square and say what you need: • "A water tracker with a big + button" • "A groceries list my partner and I can both edit" • "A pomodoro timer that buzzes when time's up" Your app builds itself in front of your eyes — and it's real. Your data saves. Your changes stick. Shake your phone whenever you want the genie back: "make the button green", "add a weekly chart", "undo that". Share any app with a link. Friends can use it instantly — or remix it into their own. No templates. No app store inside the app store. Just you, describing what you want. Blank Pro — optional subscription Blank Pro raises your daily limit to 500 generations a day, so you can keep building after the free daily allowance runs out. • Blank Pro Monthly — auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly • Blank Pro Yearly — auto-renewable subscription, billed yearly • A 3-day free trial is available on both plans Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
