Milq is a macOS app that uses AI to generate native Swift iOS apps from plain-English prompts and screenshots. It lets beginners and experienced developers quickly prototype and build apps with SwiftUI, add assets, widgets, iMessage/keyboard apps, integrate Supabase for a database and auth, preview on device, and export a full Xcode project you own. Ideal for creators who want truly native iOS apps without hand‑coding every detail.
Milq: Vibe Code Native iOS Apps in Swift
Milq is an AI-powered platform that helps you build truly native iOS applications using natural language. Describe what you want in plain English, and Milq generates clean Swift code for a real iOS app. You own your code, you can export a complete Xcode project at any time, and you can publish directly to the App Store. Milq is designed for everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned developers—so you can create professional, native apps without getting bogged down in boilerplate.
Why Milq stands out
- Native first, not “native-looking”: Milq crafts apps with Swift and Apple’s native UI components, delivering smooth animations, full access to the latest SDKs, and a true native feel from day one.
- Built for the whole workflow: A delightful Mac app to design, prototype, and code your iOS app, then push previews directly to your iPhone to see exactly how it feels in the wild.
- Hands-free, human-friendly: Describe your app’s behavior, screens, data, and flows. Milq handles the Swift code, navigation, and integration with Apple technologies.
- Ownership and export: You own your code. Export the complete Xcode project anytime to continue development or publish to the App Store.

I was skeptical about no-code but Bubble proved me wrong. I built a B2B client portal with complex permissions, Stripe billing, and real-time notifications. The learning curve is real — give yourself 2–3 weeks — but once it clicks, you're unstoppable. Performance has been solid at our scale.
Coming from Webflow, Bubble felt overwhelming at first. The editor UX isn't as polished, and performance on complex apps can feel sluggish. That said, nothing else lets you build a full database-driven app without code. The community forums are excellent — almost every problem has been solved by someone.
Used Bubble to ship our MVP in 6 weeks, which was genuinely impressive. But once we needed real capacity, the jump from Growth to Team ($29 to $529/mo) was brutal for a bootstrapped startup. The server unit model is also confusing to reason about. Would love a mid-tier option.

Bubble now suggests the next workflow action based on your current logic using an embedded AI assistant — dramatically speeds up building complex multi-step flows.
Completely redesigned responsive layout system with per-breakpoint controls. Existing apps auto-migrate with one-click. Mobile apps now build 3× faster.
Team plan subscribers can now create development branches, make changes in isolation, and merge them back — similar to Git branching. Long requested by professional teams.
Fixed significant performance degradation on apps with 1M+ rows caused by query planner regression. Apps now load 40–60% faster under heavy data loads.
Rebuilt plugin API with TypeScript support, better error handling, and a new sandbox testing environment. Developer documentation fully rewritten.
