Step 1: Sign Up and Create a Project
- Download the Vibecode app on iOS or open the web app
- Create an account with your email
- Tap New project in the iPhone app (or click New app on the web) and pick what you want to build:
- iOS app: a native Swift app for iPhone and iPad
- Mobile app: a React Native app for iOS and Android
- Web app: a website or web app
Step 2: Describe Your App
Type a prompt that describes what you want your app to do. Be as detailed or as simple as you like — the AI will figure out the rest. Example prompts:“Create a to-do list app where I can add tasks, mark them done, and swipe to delete”
“Build a recipe tracker where I can save recipes with photos and search by ingredient”
“Make a habit tracker with streaks and daily reminders”
Step 3: Generate and Test
- Send your prompt. Claude Code builds your app in real time, then tests it on its own and fixes what it finds
- Test it in the built-in preview. Native iOS apps run in a cloud iOS Simulator streamed to your screen; Mobile apps can also run on your phone by scanning the QR code
- Tell the AI what to change: “Make the header blue” or “Add a settings page”
Tips for Better Results
- Go one feature at a time — build the core, test it, then add more
- Be specific when it matters — “a Duolingo-style progress bar” beats “a progress bar”
- Use the Pinch to Build menu to quickly customize colors, layouts, and components
- Attach screenshots or mockups if you have a specific design in mind
