A native iPhone app supports both a writing editor and a custom keyboard.

Plan ahead: Cloud AI in a keyboard needs Full Access permission, and some fields block custom keyboards, so explain text privacy and keep the in-app editor as a fallback.

A prompt to build your own version of Grammarly

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Grammarly-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want to fix grammar and improve their writing. Start with an in-app editor. The main screen should show a large text area with grammar suggestions below it. After a pause in typing, show suggested corrections with short explanations. Let me tap a suggestion to apply it or dismiss it. Add a Rewrite button with clearer, shorter, and more formal choices. Show the proposed rewrite before replacing my text. Use a clean white and soft blue design with readable type. Include realistic sample text and simulated suggestions so I can try the flow before connecting real AI.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Grammarly won't have
