We’re longtime Apple veterans:

  • Kyle and Jacob are co-creators of SwiftUI, the framework Apple says is the “the best way to build an app,” and led its development for the past 10 years.
  • Tim was a co-founder and designer of Storehouse, where he won an Apple Design Award and was later acquired by Square. At Apple he rewrote the fluid animation system that powers the experience of 1.5 billion iOS users worldwide.

Bitrig lets you build native apps for your phone, on your phone. Just by chatting with AI.

If you’re a designer or PM, Bitrig lets you use the same technology as the developers on your team. If you’re a student, Bitrig is the easiest possible way to get started with Swift.

It’s fast, it’s fun. You can make a change to your app anytime and anywhere inspiration strikes. And it’s as easy to share your creation as airdropping a photo.

Bitrig is a one-stop shop. Vibe code, test, and deploy Swift apps. No Xcode required.

Behind the scenes: To make Bitrig possible we wrote a custom Swift interpreter. Kind of a crazy thing to do. But the best mobile apps use the native SDK directly, and we wanted to make that level of quality as accessible as possible.
