For designers who want their concept to be a real app
Borel turns a designer's description into a native iPhone app written in SwiftUI, with Apple's own controls and Liquid Glass. Describe the look, link a site whose style you like, and tap through the result on a live iPhone in your browser instead of a clickable mock-up.
Product and UI designers who want to feel a flow on a real iPhone, not in a prototype tool.
Designers with a side project who never found a developer for it.
Brand and 3D designers who want a portfolio piece that is a shipped app.
App ideas
Apps to make, with a prompt for each
Paste a prompt into Borel as it is, or change it to fit. Borel builds it while you watch.
A portfolio app
Your projects as an app, with a case study behind each cover.
Prompt
Make a portfolio app for me, a product designer. A grid of project covers opens to a case study with large images, a short story of the problem and the outcome, and the tools I used. Use a white background, generous spacing and one serif typeface for headings.
Save palettes from photos, name them and copy their hex codes.
Prompt
Make an app for collecting colour palettes. I take or pick a photo, AI suggests five colours from it, and I save the palette with a name and tags. Tapping a colour copies its hex code. Show my palettes as wide colour strips in a scrolling list.
Your type scale, colours and components on one living screen.
Prompt
Make an app that shows my design system: a type scale from 34pt down to 11pt, my colour tokens in light and dark, buttons in three sizes and states, cards and a form. Use the colours #1B1B1F, #F4F1EA and #E4572E and Apple's system font.
Pin pictures and notes to boards for each project.
Prompt
Make a moodboard app. I make a board per project and add photos from my library or the camera, each with a short note. Boards show as a masonry grid, and I can reorder pictures by dragging. Keep the interface quiet so the pictures stand out.
Every app is native Swift, written and built for you. These parts come with it, with nothing to set up.
Accounts
Sign-in with email and password when the app needs a person's own boards or settings.
A database
A cloud database and file storage Borel runs, for the pictures and work your app keeps.
AI
Borel AI with no API key: colours read from a photo, alt text, a caption, a picture made to order.
A live iPhone preview
A live iPhone in your browser, free on every plan, to judge spacing, type and motion on a real screen size.
Install on your iPhone
Borel Companion puts the app on your own iPhone to show people in person, with Pro.
Publish to the App Store
Borel builds, signs and uploads it to the App Store, so the portfolio piece is a shipped app, with Pro.
Borel builds the app from words and pictures you describe or link; it does not import a Figma file. It makes iPhone and iPad apps, not websites or Android apps.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Name your colours as hex codes and the type you want, or link a site whose style you like: Borel shows what it took from it and what it will not copy.
A real native app. Borel writes it in Swift with SwiftUI, Apple's own UI framework, and Xcode builds it on Borel's Mac, so it uses the iPhone's own controls and design.
Yes. You can download the app's SwiftUI code at any time and open it in Xcode, which is a good way to hand it over to a developer later.
Describe your app
Start from one of the prompts above, or say it in your own words. Trying it on the live iPhone is free.
