Build a real iPhone app on your Windows PC

Swift, not a website

A native app, not a web page in a frame

Borel doesn't wrap a website. It writes your app in Swift and builds it with Xcode, the way iPhone apps are made.

A website in an app’s frame

What runs: A website inside an app's frame
Screens: Web pages styled to look like an app
Phone features: What the browser allows
The code you get: Your website's code

Borel

What runs: Swift code, compiled by Xcode
Screens: SwiftUI's own tabs, lists, sheets and navigation
Phone features: Camera, location, Face ID and more, through Apple's frameworks
The code you get: A SwiftUI project that opens in Xcode

On your iPhone

Install it with Borel Companion

A small app for your PC that signs your app with your Apple ID and puts it on your iPhone.

1
Download Borel Companion
A small app for Windows 10 or 11, free.
2
Sign in with your Apple ID
A free Apple ID keeps up to 3 of your apps on your iPhone. Your password stays on your PC.
3
Plug in your iPhone once
Unlock it, tap Trust and turn on Developer Mode in Settings. The first install goes over the cable.
4
Then over Wi-Fi
With your iPhone on the same Wi-Fi as your PC, each new version installs without the cable, and Companion renews your apps every 7 days for you.

No iTunes and no Apple Devices app. Windows Update adds the iPhone's driver by itself, and Companion talks to the iPhone directly.

The App Store

Publishing, still without a Mac

Publishing takes a Pro plan and Apple's Developer Program, $99 a year, paid to Apple. Borel's Mac builds the release and sends it to App Store Connect under your own account, so you still never need a Mac.

Or just for you

An app doesn't have to go to the App Store. Make one for yourself and keep it on your home screen with a free Apple ID.
