Hey Product Hunters 🫶
I'm excited to introduce Rork Max, the best AI agent that builds and publishes real Swift iOS apps right from your browser. No Xcode required.
Every app you love on your iPhone was built with Swift. It's faster, smoother, and unlocks everything iOS has to offer: Widgets, Siri, HealthKit, AR, 3D games, Vision, and on-device AI. Until now, building with Swift meant installing 30GB of Xcode, wrestling with certificates, TestFlight, and paying $120 just to test on your phone.
Rork Max just solved all of that.
Powered by Claude Code and Opus 4.6, it's the most powerful AI agent for iOS mobile apps. Watch it build a Pokémon Go AR game that can be published to the App Store in hours!
What you get:
• Truly native Swift apps that feel premium, not vibecoded
• Test on your iPhone with the Rork Companion app, no Xcode or Apple Dev account needed
• Share with friends and testers by email, no TestFlight setup
• Publish to App Store in 2 clicks
• Build for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, and more
We started Rork because we were building mobile apps since 17yo, but had to spend months and years to learn how to develop them. We built successful apps that reached 2M users and #2 on the App Store, which helped us to immigrate from Eastern Europe and start living the American dream, so now we want to help you do the same.
We built the tool we wish we had 10 years ago. Rork Max is the app we dreamed about as kids.

@npmitaart thanks so much!
Rork
@npmitaart Thank you, nice to hear that!
@npmitaart @knstntnv love you Rork team!
@daniel_dhawan hey the promotion for the max is not working.
@daniel_dhawan @kotsios_anthoulis Hey Constantinos! The promo code should be working now — try RORKMAX again and let us know!
@daniel_dhawan @dora_akulshina thanks its working i am a member now.
@daniel_dhawan @kotsios_anthoulis awesome! Welcome aboard. Let us know what you build!
Rork
@kotsios_anthoulis hey, it seems the issue is resolved now! How has your experience of using Rork been so far? Is there anything we can do better?
@mozharovsky i am on max and i want to convert my app into android app. how?
Rork
@kotsios_anthoulis Native Android isn't supported yet, but it's on the roadmap, so you'll be able to just ask the agent to add Android support to your existing iOS app. For now you can sync to GitHub and convert manually. Are you looking for an Android-only version or to support both platforms?
@daniel_dhawan I love the original Rork app builder and I have built many apps over the last 10 months (early user) and I just tried Rork Max last night and WOW! You keep pushing the envelope to allow for quick creation of fully functioning, complex apps without the full stack programming background. This has opened the door for creators and serial entrepreneurs like me to be able to solve gaps in current app libraries. My problem is that I am addicted and every app solution I think of, I end up dropping a prompt into Rork and I have 100 irons in the fire - it would be nice to have a partner plan or one-time unlimited plan for us early adopters - maybe add a revenue share with Rork for all apps uploaded to the App Store so that Rork and the creator have goal congruence.
@tom_rowett nice to hear :)
@daniel_dhawan @tom_rowett thank you Tom for the kind words!
Rork
@tom_rowett thanks! Love hearing this from day-one users. This is exactly the vision — Rork should be the place where you launch and validate ideas without being constrained by technology. Revenue sharing is a really interesting idea, we're exploring ways to make Rork more accessible for power users even with heavy usage. Thanks again for such a detailed feedback! Is there anything else you'd wish Rork could do better?
Product Hunt
@curiouskitty Great question! Rork handles code signing, certificates, provisioning profiles, entitlements, and capabilities syncing automatically so no Xcode needed at all.
What still requires Apple: you need a $99/year Apple Developer Account to publish (this is Apple's requirement, no one can bypass it), you'll need to approve a 2FA code on first publish and when sessions expire, and for the final App Store listing (screenshots, description, submitting for review) you still use App Store Connect. Apple's review process takes 1-3 business days.
For testing on your physical device, you don't even need the $99 account. A free Apple ID works via our Companion app.
So essentially: Apple Developer Account + App Store Connect for the final listing. Everything else is handled by Rork 🫶
Rork
@curiouskitty @dora_akulshina great answer Dora!!!
Rork
@curiouskitty hey, thanks for the great question! Dora covered it well — and we're working on bringing App Store screenshots and submission fully into Rork too, so you never have to leave the platform. Zero Apple tooling required is the end goal!
@curiouskitty Dora and Evgenii covered it all. I hope you enjoy the product!
Rork
@giorgiojulius thanks George!

I first started using Rork about 6 months ago for an internal app for my small business and in about 2 days we had a working one that we still use to this day. Tried Rork Max today and the jump in quality is unbelievable. The native Swift apps feel so much better than the React Native ones. The publish flow actually works now. You guys have come so far. Congrats on this milestone.
@xanderiang Wow this is amazing to hear Alexander, thank you!
The fact that you built a working internal app in 2 days and are still using it 6 months later is exactly what we're building for. And yes the jump from React Native to native Swift is massive..the apps just feel right. Thanks for being an early believer and congrats on your app too! 🫶 Happy to connect :))
Rork
@xanderiang @dora_akulshina 100% agree!
@xanderiang thank you very much!
Rork
@xanderiang Thank you, glad we could help!
Rork
@xanderiang Hey Alexander, thank you! Have you tried replicating your internal app using Rork Max? Curious whether the experience would feel any different for you
Disco.dev
@xanderiang yes! let’s see our new future
Rork
@xanderiang @ryoppippi absolutely
let's go, you are doing a revolution in mobile apps space
@a_6 That's the goal! Mobile app development has been gatekept for too long. We're here to change that 🚀 Thank you for the support Anna!
Rork
@a_6 @dora_akulshina absolutely, and we're changing it fast!
Rork
@a_6 Anna, thank you!

Timestripe
Amazing team, amazing product. Congrats on the launch!
Excited to see underdogs beat corporations at their own game, especially when the corporation is Apple and the game is played inside a walled garden where they make all the rules
@topcatnocap Thank you Misha! Building inside Apple's walled garden while making it accessible to everyone is definitely the challenge. We're an immigrant team that learned iOS the hard way, so making it easy for others is personal to us. Appreciate the kind words! Btw if you could build any app for Timestripe's users with no code limitations, what would it be?
Lovon AI therapy
@topcatnocap also love the team a lot! This guys are doing quite a lot!
Rork
@topcatnocap @thxgrey likewise! <3
Rork
@topcatnocap Thanks so much! Apple built great products, but building mobile apps is still absurdly difficult — we're here to fix that!
Morejust: store
@topcatnocap The demo blew my mind
@topcatnocap @caffeinum Thank you Aleks! Wait till you try building something yourself 👀
Rork
caffeinum thank you!!!
Welltory
@topcatnocap Thank you — that means a lot.

@ponikarovskii Thank you Anton! Haha no, we actually think the opposite will happen. Right now most people with app ideas never build them because the barrier is too high. Rork lowers that barrier so MORE apps get built, which means more opportunities for designers, marketers, and developers who can take those apps further. It's not about replacing jobs, it's about unlocking ideas that were stuck in people's heads 🫶
Rork
@ponikarovskii hey Anton! I don't think AI will create a job crisis — if anything, it's the opposite. More people building means more jobs and opportunities. We genuinely believe we can turn a billion people into app developers. Imagine what our civilization looks like when 1/8th of the population is solving problems for the other 7/8th — that's what makes us unstoppable!
Lovon AI therapy
@ponikarovskii if they start job crisis, that will mean that more people will use Lovon (just kidding!)
Rork
@thxgrey Love that!
Disco.dev
@ponikarovskii thank you so much!!! i’ve personally been working on human augmentation and i believe technology enhance our ability and empower us to create a better world. rork has a great potential to turn everyone's idea to real. let's keep watching us!! and let's build the future with us
Rork
@ponikarovskii @ryoppippi the future is sooo bright!
@ponikarovskii Are you in Lovon hoping for that? 😃 Just kidding
Rork
@ponikarovskii @giorgiojulius haha, nice one!
@michael_vavilov Thanks Michael! Similar idea but we go much deeper. Rork builds truly native Swift apps, not web. That means you get access to everything iOS offers: ARKit, HealthKit, Siri, Widgets, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, on-device AI and more. Plus you can test on your iPhone with one click and publish to the App Store in two. Think of it as Lovable-level simplicity but with full native iOS power 🚀
Rork
@michael_vavilov hey Michael! Lovable for iOS is a fair comparison, but we go further — think of Rork Max as a YC-backed team building your iOS app — from code to App Store to revenue
Lovon AI therapy
@michael_vavilov Having in mind all that Rork did, I would say Lovable is Rork for iOS hahah
Rork
@thxgrey you're reading my mind!!
@michael_vavilov just Rork it.
Rork
@michael_vavilov @giorgiojulius let's Rork!
Spiritme
Built a small iOS prototype in about 40 minutes today. I don’t have Swift experience. Surprised how smooth the AR part worked on a real device.
@nikita_bogdanov1 That's awesome to hear Nikita! 40 minutes with no Swift experience is exactly what we're going for. And yeah, AR on a real device is where it really shines — the simulator can't do it justice. Thanks for trying it out! 🙌
@nikita_bogdanov1 thank you! I hope we will not stop to surprise you!
Rork
@nikita_bogdanov1 Really appreciate you taking the time to check us out!
Rork
@nikita_bogdanov1 So glad to hear it, thank you for sharing your experience Nikita 💕
Lovon AI therapy
@nikita_bogdanov1 having same great experience! Excited on have tech is changed so far..
MUBR
This is one of the best agentic coding products so far!
As iOS Dev I love the general idea of building using all Swift features and the philosophy behind the brand!
@ilichev Means a lot coming from an iOS dev! That's exactly our philosophy, why settle for cross-platform compromises when Claude can write great native Swift? You get ARKit, HealthKit, Widgets, Siri, the whole ecosystem. Thanks for the love Kirill! Curious, as someone deep in iOS, what's the one Swift feature you'd want to test first in Rork Max?
Disco.dev
@ilichev thanks!!!
Rork
@ilichev Thanks Kirill! Means a lot coming from a fellow iOS dev — native Swift is the way. Glad the philosophy resonates!
Welltory
@ilichev Feels like the market has been missing a truly solid native Swift builder for a while.
Rork
@ilichev @solodnev yes, for sure!
@ilichev thank you for so kind words!
App Finder
Interesting... have there non-trivial apps already been built with it? Would be really interesting to see what's possible.
Also, what means the name "Rork"?
@konrad_sx Absolutely! Check out George's story — he's 18 and built WrestleAI with Rork, an app that gives AI feedback on wrestling footage. It's earning him $20K/mo now. We also demo'd a full Pokémon Go-style AR game, a Minecraft clone with AI-generated worlds, Apple Watch apps, Vision Pro games and more. You can see them all on our launch page at rork.com.
As for the name — it's inspired by Howard Roark from The Fountainhead, a character who stays true to his vision no matter what. Felt fitting for what we're building 🙂
App Finder
@dora_akulshina Sounds great, I think you should put links to these apps on your site, and a bit more info about this.
Howard Roark from The Fountainhead sure is a great inspiration for such a tool!
@konrad_sx great idea! We'll add a showcase section with links to real apps built with Rork Max. And yes Howard Roark was the perfect inspiration, building what you believe in regardless of what everyone else is doing. Thank you for the feedback Konrad!
Rork
@konrad_sx Great suggestion, Konrad — we're working on a showcase page with real apps and links. Stay tuned!
Lovon AI therapy
@konrad_sx @dora_akulshina curious why didn't you named it by someone's from Atlas Shrugged? :)
Rork
@thxgrey haha, Roark just hit different — an architect who refuses to compromise on his vision felt more fitting for a tool that builds things :)
@konrad_sx Users build a lot of projects, and I often ask myself — how did they come up with such ideas? So a lot of non-trivial apps. Just rork it.
Rork
@konrad_sx @giorgiojulius Just find what makes you go crazy about and build something cool!
