Created by a group of ex-Apple employees who co-created SwiftUI, Bitrig now lets you build iPhone apps directly from your Mac via requests. Here are the details.
Another vibe coding option lands on the Mac
Last October, Bitrig was launched on the App Storeallowing users to build SwiftUI apps directly from their iPhones.
Now the team behind the app has released a Mac version of the platform, which they say 9to5Mac was one of the most requested additions since the launch of iOS.
As Bitrig explains, the new Mac app generates actual Swift and SwiftUI code and builds apps that users can submit to TestFlight or even the App Store if they want.
In addition, users can be more comfortable using the app on a larger screen, with a full keyboard and the full Xcode toolchain, giving them access to every framework in the iOS SDK.
Bitrig for Mac supports image and screenshot uploads and offers a built-in iPhone simulator, allowing users to preview and interact with the app to get a better idea of how the project is progressing. Users can also send the app to a connected iPhone with one click, making on-device testing even easier.
Users can read and edit the code by hand, which is also a good way to become familiar with the syntax and general structure of Apple’s development language. Bitrig for Mac also allows users to export their code as a standalone Xcode project and go from there.
Bitrig works on a messaging credit system: free accounts receive 5 daily credits (up to 30 per month), while Plus accounts receive between 200 and 1600 monthly credits, depending on the level they subscribe to.
Subscribers can split their credits between Mac and iOS, and unused credits roll over to the next month, as long as the subscription remains active. Additionally, projects are synced to Bitrig for iOS and macOS.
Bitrig for Mac requires macOS Sequoia 15 or later, and you can learn more about it here here.
