Real Swift, not a webview
Your AI agent writes native SwiftUI. You own every line and can open it in Xcode anytime.
The “Lovable” for native iOS apps
Describe an app. Ship it to the App Store.
dhrive writes real SwiftUI on your Mac and ships it to the App Store — you own every line.

One sentence in — a native app running in the simulator, in about a minute.
Built with dhrive
“Is it actually native?”
Yes. That's the whole point — here's what it means in practice.
Built on your Mac, with your Xcode
Local builds with your own keys. Nothing leaves your machine until you choose to ship.
Your AI agent, your keys
Works with the CLIs you already run: Claude Code, Codex, or Grok. No lock-in, no surprise bills.
Three steps to a real app.
From the first sentence to a build on your phone.
01
Describe it
Tell dhrive what you want to build, in plain words.
02
Watch it build
It writes the Swift and compiles locally, fixing its own errors as it goes.
03
Ship it
Run it on the simulator, then push straight to TestFlight and the App Store.
The same idea, three paths.
Most builders trap your app on their platform. dhrive does not.

Secure by default. Yours to verify.
Real security practices and Apple's App Store rules are baked into every build — and because you own the Swift, you can audit every line.
Our servers never see your code
The agent runs on your Mac and talks only to the AI provider you chose and signed into. Builds use your own Xcode and signing keys — your source and secrets never touch our servers.
Secrets stay secret
No hardcoded keys or tokens. Sensitive data goes in the iOS Keychain, network calls are HTTPS-only, and nothing sensitive is ever logged.
Built to pass App Store review
Least-privilege permissions with honest purpose strings, a privacy manifest, and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines — followed on every build.
Real Swift you can audit
No black-box binary to trust. Open the project in Xcode, read every line, run any security scanner you like. Verify it — don't just take our word.
Free to build. Free to ship.
dhrive itself is free, forever — build, run, and ship to the App Store at no cost. You only pay for the AI features that run on our servers.

Questions, answered.
What people ask before building their first iOS app with dhrive.
What is dhrive?
dhrive is a macOS app that turns a prompt into a real native iOS app. It writes Swift and SwiftUI, builds it locally with your Xcode, and ships to TestFlight and the App Store.
Can I build a native iOS app from a prompt?
Yes. You describe the app in plain English and dhrive writes native SwiftUI, compiles it on your Mac, and runs it on the iOS Simulator or your iPhone.
Does dhrive generate real Swift or a web wrapper?
Real native Swift. There is no webview and no PWA. You own every line and can open the project in Xcode anytime.
Do I need to know how to code or use Xcode?
No. dhrive plans, writes, and builds the app for you and fixes its own build errors. You can still open the code in Xcode whenever you want.
How do I ship an iOS app to TestFlight or the App Store?
dhrive signs and uploads from your Mac. Connect your Apple Developer account once, then ship to TestFlight or the App Store in a click.
What AI does dhrive use?
Bring your own. dhrive runs the agent CLIs you already have: Claude Code, Codex, or Grok. No lock-in and no metered AI bills from dhrive.
Can I run the app on my iPhone?
Yes. Pick your connected iPhone and dhrive builds a signed app and installs it on the device, or runs it in the iOS Simulator.
How is dhrive different from no-code or cloud AI app builders?
No-code tools lock your app to their platform, and cloud AI builders run on their servers and often produce web wrappers. dhrive builds real native Swift on your machine, with your keys, and you own the code.
Is dhrive free?
Yes. Building, running, and shipping to TestFlight and the App Store are free, forever. You only pay for the AI features that run on our servers — AI App Store copy and keywords, AI app icons, and Market intel. Pro is $10/mo, Max is $30/mo.
