What You Need
- A Claude account. Vibecode works in Claude on the web, in the Claude desktop app and in the Claude iPhone app.
- A Vibecode account. You can create one while connecting. New accounts that sign up with Google or Apple get their first app build free; after that, building and the live preview use credits.

Start a chat
You’re back in Claude, with Vibecode connected. You only connect once: Vibecode is then available in Claude on the web, on the desktop and on your iPhone.
Build an App
Ask Claude for the app you want, in plain English:- “Using Vibecode, build me an iPhone app to track my workouts, with a weekly summary.”
- “Build me a habit tracker iPhone app with daily streaks.”
- “Using Vibecode, build me a web app to plan my meals for the week.”
Try the App in the Chat
When an iPhone app is ready, the card shows it running on a live iPhone simulator. Click or tap through it as you would on a phone.- The preview uses credits while it runs. If nobody touches it for 2 minutes, it pauses itself; select Resume preview to start it again.
- On a computer, select the full screen button on the card to make the preview larger.
- A web app opens in Vibecode from the card.
Keep Going
- Change an app: ask Claude, for example “Make the buttons in my workout app blue and add a rest timer.” Vibecode makes the change and tests it, and the card follows along.
- See your apps: ask “Show me my Vibecode apps” to pick up any app in your account, including ones you built in Vibecode itself.
- Open it elsewhere: when an iPhone app is ready, the card has buttons to open it in Vibecode, to see it on your phone in the Vibecode iPhone app, and to publish it to the App Store from Vibecode. You can also ask Claude for these links.
