The Morello app

Install it once. Everything after that happens on your own machine.

  • Builds run locally. Your project compiles with Xcode on your own machine — no cloud queue to wait behind.
  • The simulator is instant and free. Your app opens in the iPhone Simulator and stays open as long as you like, with nothing metered by the minute.
  • Projects are saved to your disk. Every app is a standard Xcode project in a folder you choose, ready for git, TestFlight, and the App Store.
  • Your source stays with you. Generated code is written locally and is never used for training.

Requires macOS 14 or newer and Xcode, both free from Apple. Free to start.

What you need first

Two free downloads from Apple, then Morello checks the rest for you.

1

Xcode

Apple's developer tools, free from the Mac App Store. Morello uses it to compile your app for real.

2

Morello

Download and drag it to Applications. On first launch it checks your setup and walks you through anything missing.

An idea

Type one sentence. Your first build is on us, and everything it makes is yours to keep.
