Every page on Modaal

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.

Get the Modaal Mac app, plug in your own coding agent — Claude, ChatGPT or Grok — and start your first native iOS or Android build.

A free plan with one project and unlimited prompts, and Pro at €9 per month billed annually for iOS and Android together. No credits.

Answers on setting Modaal up, why a Mac is required, which coding agents work with it, and what it costs.

Video tutorials, live events and a builder community for shipping native iOS and Android apps with your AI coding agent — free with Modaal.

Why we build Modaal: a macOS app that ships truly native Swift and Kotlin apps with your own AI coding agent. Meet the team behind it.

Every page published on modaal.dev, grouped by section.

Shared logic, no shared UI. iOS renders SwiftUI, Android renders Compose, and a test fails the build if the two ever disagree about what should be on screen.

You build the native app with AI, and a real mobile engineer unblocks you when the agent cannot.

19 AI app builders in one table — web, mobile and native — compared by what each actually ships, with pricing from their own pages, dated.

Rork Max is $200/mo for native iOS. Rork Free is 35 credits and web apps only. Modaal builds a real native Swift app free, unlimited prompts, Pro €9/month.

Bitrig Free caps you at 10 requests and 15 credits a day. Modaal Free has no prompt cap at all, builds iOS or Android, and Pro is €9/month against their $25.

Bubble’s native mobile is React Native and in public beta, and Bubble states apps cannot be exported as code. If you came to Bubble for a mobile app, here are your options.

FlutterFlow’s free plan builds but cannot ship or export — both start at $39/mo — and its output is Flutter, not SwiftUI. A sourced comparison with the honest rows both ways.

Adalo prices by published app — $36/mo to ship one — and its free plan publishes nothing. Modaal builds a real native app free, with code you own. A sourced comparison.

Superapp builds native Swift in the browser with no Mac required, and says it does not build Android. Where each one fits, using both vendors’ own words.

Claude Code is one of the agents Modaal runs on, not a competitor. What each does, and when you only need one of them.

Lovable builds web apps and says so in its own FAQ. Modaal builds native iOS and Android. A sourced comparison on output, pricing model, code ownership and who each is for.

Modaal is not an Xcode alternative — it builds through Xcode. Xcode is free and has AI built in. Here is what the extra layer is actually for.

Lovable builds web applications and documents two wrapper routes to a phone. Here is what that gets you, in their words, and when it is not enough.

v0 generates React and Next.js for the web — not Swift, and not React Native. Here is what that means for shipping to the App Store, and how to take a v0 prototype native.

Point the agent at your Figma file and get real SwiftUI, not a one-shot export. How designers ship native iOS apps without writing Swift.

Notes from the Modaal team on building native apps with AI coding agents: Swift and Kotlin patterns, architecture calls, lessons from shipping.

What vibe coding is, how the describe-and-build loop works, every tool sorted by what it outputs — and the chapter other guides skip: real mobile apps.

Eight no-code mobile app builders, each verified against its own pricing page — and the distinction most lists miss: visual programming is still programming.

The design workflow behind a shipped App Store app: iterate in HTML, feed references with intent, lock tokens, transfer to native Swift step by step — and add the animations last.

The AI prototyping tools PMs actually use — with the column other lists skip: what the prototype becomes. Throwaway, handoff, or shippable, priced honestly.

Prompt-to-game is real — the question is where your game should live: a web link, every platform, or the App Store. The verified tools for each, for non-coders.

Most "Android app builders" ship web wrappers or JavaScript. The tools that produce real native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for non-developers: a short, sourced list.

Most "iPad apps" from app builders are stretched iPhone apps. What a real one requires, which routes deliver it, and why the fix starts in your spec.

watchOS is native-only territory — no web path, no cross-platform shortcut. The short list of builders that reach the wrist, and what a good watch app even is.

The free AI stack for students who build: a year of Google AI Pro, Copilot via the Student Pack, Figma’s education plan — and a real shipped app at half price.

The 7 best software to develop iOS apps in 2026, verified: Xcode, Flutter, React Native, FlutterFlow, Rork, Bubble and Modaal — every claim checked against each vendor’s own docs.

The craft layer behind apps like Duolingo — animated progress, character moments — runs on a 2D game engine. How product teams get it without a game team.

From Xcode to Zed to native app builders: tools that bill you nothing for the model — you bring the subscription you already pay. The verified map, by job.

Yes — with one honest condition. Where the real boundary sits, why PMs are better positioned than they think, and the engineer-as-advisor model that works.

Yes — as a web-view wrapper, by Base44’s own documentation. What that means, what works (push: yes, with setup), what doesn’t, and when you need native.

Rork prices AI building at $0.20 a request, no top-ups. What that costs in a real debugging week, what paying users say, and the alternatives from $0.

Flat LLM subscriptions cost a fraction of the same usage at API rates — the vendor’s own overflow pricing says so. Why credit-metered app builders are the legacy model, and how bring-your-own-agent works.

What "custom" really buys, why every price range you have read is unverifiable, and the spec-first method that gets real quotes — plus when you skip the agency.

Emergent sells scope — web and mobile from one chat. Lovable sells depth, web-only by its own FAQ. Both compared from their pages, with the PM checklist.

The build stopped being the slow part — Apple’s ceremony is the floor every route shares. What determines speed on each path, React or native, priced.

The honest 2026 answer: agency ranges are folklore, so here is an itemised bill you can verify — Apple’s $99, Google’s $25, and the real arithmetic of metered vs flat AI builders.

Chat, summaries, smart search — AI features are product decisions with a per-user cost meter. Patterns, on-device vs cloud, and how to spec them.

From idea to the app stores in ten honest steps — what it really costs, the four ways to build, and what AI changed for people who don’t code.

From idea to the Play Store in seven honest steps — what Google charges ($25, once), what its review needs, and how AI collapsed the hard middle.

The tool choice is really a stack choice: React Native, Flutter, or native Swift and Kotlin. What each means, the verified builders for each, and when web wins.

From idea to the App Store with a native Swift app you own — including the step most guides skip: deciding whether you need an app at all. Every cost itemised and checkable.

There is no aha moment in the shower. Seven systematic places app ideas come from — plus how Instagram, Wordle and Duolingo really found theirs, sourced.

Subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads and hybrids — plus the infrastructure layer most guides skip: RevenueCat, Adapty and Superwall, with each tool’s real pricing and when you need one.

Enrollment, App Store Connect, TestFlight, the listing, and review — quoted from Apple’s own pages, with what 100+ shipped apps taught us about getting through.

Zero code, some code, web developer, or Swift veteran — the honest route to a real iOS app for each level, with verified prices. The ladder got shorter.

Android holds two-thirds of the world; iOS holds the spending markets. Four questions pick your first platform — and 2026 architecture makes it reversible.

There is no convert button — migrating a Lovable web app to mobile means one of four real paths. What you keep, what gets rebuilt, and when to skip it.

A mobile app starts safer than a web app — if you let the platform do its job. The security model explained for product people, as spec items you can actually write.

The old trade — one codebase versus two real native apps — is no longer forced. How the decision actually works in 2026, argued without borrowed benchmarks.

Two different jobs, not two rivals: cloud IDE with an agent vs an agent on code you own. Pricing from both pages, and the honest answer on native mobile.

Rork builds mobile apps; Lovable says it can only build web apps. The real choice is the output, not the brand — both compared from their own pages, dated.

Plan first, build second: how a PRD and per-feature mini-specs turn an AI agent into a reliable mobile team — and why product managers build fastest this way.

The validation process we teach founders: write a sharp bet, talk to ten humans, reduce to three App Store screens, ship a working prototype, and ask for money — not feedback.

Every guide teaches PMs to vibe-code prototypes and hand off. The 2026 shift: the same skill now ships real native apps — and PMs already have the hard part.

Apple made Xcode agent-native: Claude Agent and Codex in 26.3, Previews capture, build-and-fix loops, MCP. What is actually stable, what is still Xcode 27 beta — and our read as a company built on top of it.

What Xcode 26.6 does natively, what is still only in the 27 beta, and where a terminal agent still needs help. Sourced from Apple and Anthropic docs.

The real question is not which framework is better — it is what your app needs to do and who is building it. An honest guide, current to August 2026.

Claude Code reaches Android Studio through a JetBrains plugin with a far smaller tool surface than its Xcode integration. What that means in practice.

Google generates native Kotlin and Compose from a prompt, free. What its own docs say it cannot do, and when sharing logic with iOS changes it.

Half the products asking this question do not need a native app. An honest test for which half you are in, and what each path actually gets you.

Join the waitlist for the Duet open beta: write each feature once in a shared core and run it natively on both stores, in Swift and Kotlin.
