Dactyl

Dactyl lets you create native iPhone, iPad, and Android apps by describing what you want. It builds in your browser so you can preview screens as they’re generated, then install the result on your own device using a QR code. It’s aimed at people who want a real app (not a web wrapper) without needing a Mac, Xcode, or Android Studio.

• In-browser build + playable preview: See your app running right away in the browser, tapping through screens as they appear.
• Native device capabilities during preview: It supports real hardware in the browser preview for things like camera, sensors, GPS, and maps.
• Real Apple auth: Uses genuine Apple sign-in flows from the start.
• StoreKit payments end to end: You can set up real in-app purchases that work during preview, not just after you ship.
• Install on iPhone/iPad/Android via QR: Preview and test on your actual phone without a separate simulator.
• Ship to TestFlight and the App Store: Publication steps like provisioning, listings, and review are handled from the editor.
• SwiftUI code you can keep: The output is real SwiftUI code you can read and edit, with builds producing genuine native binaries (iOS) and native Android apps (APK).

If you’re deciding whether it fits, the core tradeoff to check is that you’re using a browser-first workflow instead of a local dev toolchain. It’s positioned for teams or solo builders who want faster iteration from description to installed app, while still ending with native code suitable for App Store review.
