Make an app
Make an iPhone app for what you need
Pick the kind of app you want. Each page shows the screens it needs, what it keeps, the iPhone features it can use and a prompt to paste into Borel, which writes it in Swift, runs it live in your browser and puts it on your iPhone.
Habits and wellbeing
Small daily apps that keep you honest and kind to yourself.

How it works
The same four steps, whatever you make
- 1
Describe it
Paste the prompt on this page into Borel, or write your own in plain words. Borel plans the screens with you before it builds.
- 2
Try it in your browser
Borel writes the app in Swift and SwiftUI, builds it with Xcode on its own Mac and opens it in a live iPhone simulator in your browser, free.
- 3
Put it on your iPhone
With Pro, Borel Companion for Windows or Mac installs it on your own iPhone with your Apple ID: a cable the first time, then Wi-Fi.
- 4
Publish it when it's ready
Pro publishes to the App Store from the same project. Apple's Developer Program, $99 a year, is the one thing you pay Apple.
Building starts free, with 5 free credits a day, up to 30 a month, and the simulator in your browser costs nothing. Pro, from $20 a month, adds installs on your own iPhone through Borel Companion and publishing to the App Store.
Frequently asked questions
Anything you can describe that runs on an iPhone: trackers, planners, timers, journals, learning apps, small games and apps for a business's customers. Borel writes each one in Swift and SwiftUI.
No. You describe the app in plain words, or start from a prompt on these pages, and ask for changes the same way. The Swift code is yours to read or download.
No. Borel builds the app with Xcode on its own Mac and streams a live iPhone simulator to your browser, on Windows or Mac.
Yes. With Pro, Borel Companion puts it on your own iPhone with a free Apple ID, so it never has to go to the App Store.
Yes. Pro publishes from the same project. You need Apple's Developer Program, $99 a year, paid to Apple.
