Modaal for Android

Modaal is a cross-platform native AI app builder that lets product people build and ship real iOS and Android apps with their own AI agent. Instead of one React Native codebase drawing the same screens on both phones, Modaal shares the logic, not the screens. Your agent writes re

In plain words

Modaal is a cross-platform native app builder that uses AI agents to create production-ready iOS and Android apps. Instead of sharing code between platforms, it shares logic while generating platform-specific Swift and Jetpack Compose code. Users describe their app idea, review AI-generated specs and PRDs, then build features incrementally. The tool integrates with existing AI services like Claude and ChatGPT, generates real native projects in Git, and runs apps locally in native simulators without lag.

From the sources

Modaal is an end-to-end AI agent for native iOS in Swift. It turns your idea into the artifacts serious apps require: PRD, MVP scope, user/data flows, navigation, and growth-ready architecture—then drives implementation as vertical slices so you ship safely, step by step. Modaal prioritizes maintainability: consistent structure across screens, clean module boundaries, and small SwiftUI diffs you can review. Connect the repo, and keep building with your team as the product scales.

Modaal turns your idea into production-ready native iOS and Android apps — real Swift and Kotlin you own, built spec-first by your own AI agent.

Describe your idea, refine the plan, then build feature by feature and flow by flow until both apps are ready to release. Each feature’s logic is written once: SwiftUI on iPhone, Jetpack Compose on Android. A PRD and a spec per feature, approved by you before a line of code is written. Pick Production, Duet or Quick prototype — every feature follows it. Use the Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Gemini, Copilot or other plan you already pay for. Don't pay per token API prices. Your apps build and run locally in native simulators, at full fidelity and no lag. Real projects in Git on your disk from the first build. Open them any time. TestFlight and App Store distribution run under your own Apple…from modaal.dev

    Hi HN We're Vitalik (Ex-Bolt) and Stas (Ex-Grammarly, Wix) We build a MacOS vibecoding tool for native Swift iOS apps, that replaces Xcode for non-developers. Features: - Project Creation agent makes a real Xcode project in the background. - Design Agent creates design system using SwiftUI (supports glassmorphism ) - Coding Agent is quite efficient with caching and parallel tool calls. - The app gets build on your mac using iOS simulator and runtime, any bugs are passed back to coding agent. Requirements: - You still need an Xcode on your machine, but don't need to open it. Website:…
