Your idea goes in. An app comes out.

Build real websites and native iPhone and Android apps by describing them. No coding, no setup, all on your Mac.

Cocoon on a Mac. The home screen asks “What do you want to build?” above a prompt box, a Guide me step by step button and ideas such as Online shop, Bookings and Personal tracker.

Made for everyday people

If you can describe it, you can build it.

No code and no jargon. Cocoon asks a few friendly questions, shows you the plan, then builds.

  1. Your ideaIn your own words. Short is fine.
  2. FeaturesSign-in, payments, maps. Tick what it needs.
  3. The lookPick a style and colour, see it live.
  4. The planCheck it, press Build my app.

Cards for sign-in, photos, search, admin area, email notifications, payments, maps and dark mode. Cocoon's guide: Make it yours.

The best AIs, one click away.

Connect OpenRouter, Claude or OpenAI without copying a single key. Cocoon catches it for you and keeps it in your Mac's Keychain.

OpenAI

Real native apps. Running on your Mac.

iPhone

Native iPhone apps in SwiftUI

The same language Apple's own apps use. Watch yours run in the iPhone simulator on your Mac, then try it on your real iPhone with TestFlight.

Native Android apps

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, running in the Android emulator right next to your chat.

Websites with real databases

Shops, bookings and dashboards that store data, previewed live as Cocoon builds them.

Change anything by asking

“Make the header blue.” “Add a login page.” Every change shows up in seconds, and every version is saved so you can always go back.

Everything stays on your Mac

Your apps, your code and your keys live on your machine, under your own accounts.

Publishing, explained in four steps.

No servers to configure and no certificates to understand. Cocoon picks the right place for your app and walks you through the rest.

Choose where

Cocoon picks the right home

Vercel for websites, Fly.io for apps with a database. It explains why, in plain words.

All the way to the stores

A calm checklist for the App Store and Google Play. Most steps run by themselves.

Under the hood

See how your app fits together.

  • A living diagram of screens, logic and data, drawn from your code.
  • A real, clean codebase you own. Hand it to a developer whenever you want.
  • Docs and an API explorer, written for you.

Always safe on GitHub.

Sign in once and every app gets a private GitHub copy that syncs by itself. Changes on both sides are never overwritten: you choose.

Synced Saving 2 waiting

Good questions.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe what you want and ask for changes in plain words. The code is there if you ever want it, behind one small button.

Can a developer take over my app later?

Yes. Cocoon writes a normal codebase on standard tools, with documentation and a full history on GitHub. Any developer can pick it up.

What does it cost to run?

You pay the AI you connect as you go; OpenRouter can start free. Publishing a website can be free. Apple charges $99 a year and Google Play $25 once, only if you ship to their stores.

Who owns what I build?

You do. The code is on your Mac and in your own GitHub, published under your own accounts. If you stop using Cocoon, everything keeps working.

How do I install it?

Download Cocoon, open the file and drag Cocoon into Applications. That's it. From then on Cocoon updates itself, and each update is checked by Apple before it installs.

What does beta mean?

Cocoon works today and is improving every week. Some things will change, and your feedback decides what comes next.

How do I send feedback or report a problem?

In Cocoon, choose Help › Send Feedback. It opens a short form with your version already filled in. You can also report a problem or share an idea here. Feedback is public on GitHub, so leave out anything private.

How do I uninstall it?

Drag Cocoon from Applications to the Trash. To also remove your apps and settings, open Finder, choose Go › Go to Folder… and delete the Cocoon folder in ~/Library/Application Support. Copies on GitHub and published apps stay in those accounts.

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26. Cocoon downloads everything else during a one-time setup, and shows you the progress.

Your idea is ready to fly.

Cocoon is in beta for Mac. Download it, build your first app this week, and help shape what comes next.

Free beta for Macs with Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later.
