Build an iPhone app with Liquid Glass, dark mode and Dynamic Type

Borel builds iPhone apps in real SwiftUI, so they look and behave like iOS: the floating glass tab bar on iOS 26, text that grows with Dynamic Type, and colours that read in dark mode. Describe the feel you want, or nothing at all, and Borel chooses a look from what your app is about, then writes it in Swift.

Ideas

What you can build with Liquid Glass design

A few apps people make with it. Describe yours in your own words.

  • A calm journal

    Serif type, soft paper colours and room to breathe.

  • A bold training app

    A dark look with one sharp accent and big, rounded numbers.

  • A playful kids' app

    Rounded type and bright colour, still easy to read.

  • A tidy work tool

    Clean lists, search and sheets, with nothing in the way.

  • A focus timer

    One huge number that breathes as the minutes pass.

Try it

A prompt to start from

Copy it, or start with it and change it to fit your idea.

The prompt
“A reading log with a warm, paper-like look: serif titles, a soft cream background and one deep red accent.”

From words to your iPhone

Three steps, no code

  • 1

    Describe it

    Say what the app does in plain words, or start from the prompt above. No code, and no Mac.

  • 2

    Watch it build

    Borel writes the Swift, compiles it with Xcode on its own Mac and opens it in the iOS Simulator, streamed into your browser.

  • 3

    Put it on your iPhone

    Borel Companion installs it over a cable the first time, then over Wi-Fi, and while it runs it puts each new version on by itself.

How Borel handles it

Written in Swift, with Apple's own frameworks

What Borel takes care of for you, so the feature works the way iPhone owners expect.

  • The glass tab bar

    Apps use SwiftUI's own tabs, so on iOS 26 they get the floating Liquid Glass tab bar, and on earlier iOS the classic one.

  • Text that scales

    Every size that holds text grows with the reader's Dynamic Type setting, headings and big numbers included.

  • A look of its own

    Before the first build, Borel weighs four directions for your app and commits to one, and the look you name always wins.

See the look in the iOS Simulator in your browser as it builds, then on your iPhone with Borel Companion.

Your Apple ID

Works with a free Apple ID

Yes. Borel Companion puts the app on your own iPhone with a free Apple ID, which keeps up to 3 of your apps there, and Companion renews them every 7 days for you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A dark look is chosen on purpose, and every other app gives each colour a dark-mode twin, so it reads in both.

Apps run on iOS 17 and later. On iOS 26 the tab bar is Liquid Glass, and on earlier versions it's the familiar iOS tab bar.

Yes. Describe the feel, the colours or the type you want, and Borel builds to it. Ask for changes in the chat any time.

No. Borel picks a different direction from your last few apps' looks, unless you ask for the same one.
