OpenApp

What it does

OpenApp is an open-source, local AI workspace for building React Native apps on your Mac. Describe what you want, generate and iterate with AI, preview the result, shape the UI and keep the real project on your computer. Bring your own AI provider and API key — your apps, your code, your machine.

Build real React Native apps with AI, locally on your Mac, while keeping ownership of your code.

Turn an idea into a real mobile app. Design, generate and preview everything directly on your device. Describe features, screens or changes. OpenApp works directly on your project. Add a calendar view and keep the interface clean and minimal. Shape the interface without losing control of the underlying project. Generate a new style and watch every component adopt it instantly. OpenApp generates a real React Native project stored on your computer. Every file is yours — open it in your favorite code editor anytime. OpenApp runs on your Mac and keeps your projects locally. Bring your own AI provider and stay in control of the code you generate. OpenApp doesn't try to generate everything. It's…from openapp.fun

  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:…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
