A Mac app factory for building, preparing, publishing, and monitoring iOS apps with your own AI agent.
Appto is a Mac application for taking iOS apps from idea to App Store preparation and post-launch monitoring. Together with Claude Code or Codex, it researches app niches, proposes concepts, creates design directions, writes Swift and SwiftUI code, checks screens in the simulator, and prepares store materials.
The workspace is designed for several apps running in parallel. Each app can have its own AI agent, while a shared queue brings together decisions and manual steps. The user selects concepts and design options, reviews store assets, and confirms actions that affect App Store Connect or cost money.
After release, Appto surfaces operational data from Apple, including downloads, proceeds, purchases, ratings, and countries. It also supports review-response drafts, alerts for new poor ratings, and improvement suggestions. Code remains in the user’s Xcode project and repositories, while Apple credentials are kept on the Mac.
Finds app niches using App Store and Google Play signals, including chart positions, competitors, reviews, demand indicators, name availability, and copycat risk. The result includes evidence that can be opened, and a user’s own idea can also be checked.
Produces app concepts and names, offers two or three design directions, and creates a live mockup. It writes Swift and SwiftUI in a regular Xcode project, then walks through screens in the simulator and fixes issues it finds.
Prepares screenshot sets for iPhone and iPad, store names, subtitles, keywords, icons, and other copy in 39 languages. It provides a page score and checks text against Apple’s limits.
Helps prepare purchases, prices, privacy information, a build, and the submission checklist in App Store Connect. The user retains control of the final Submit for Review action, and nothing is written there without confirmation.
Runs apps in parallel with a separate agent and chat for each one, plus a shared decision queue. Each app can use its own private GitHub repository, with commits made as the workflow advances and steps available to undo.
Shows Apple-reported downloads, proceeds, purchases, ratings, and countries, along with store-page conversion and search positions. It can draft review replies, flag a fresh bad rating, and organize improvement tasks by day, week, and month.
A solo creator can submit a new concept or use Appto’s niche suggestions to examine demand, competing apps, review complaints, revenue estimates, and similarity risk before choosing whether to proceed.
A user can select a design direction, review the interactive mockup, and let the agent create the SwiftUI project and run simulator checks. The user remains responsible for decisions and for the Apple-account steps shown in the workflow.
A small app portfolio can be handled from one workspace, with separate agents and chats for individual apps and a central queue for decisions, rejections, and manual actions. GitHub repositories preserve each project’s code history.
An owner can monitor Apple-based sales and store signals, review new ratings, prepare responses, and use the product’s time-based task list to decide what to improve in the next version.
No. The agent writes Swift and SwiftUI, runs the app through the simulator, and fixes issues it finds. You still choose options and complete selected steps in your Apple account.
It works with Claude Code using a Claude Pro subscription or Codex using ChatGPT Plus. The AI subscription is yours, and each app can have its own agent.
The Xcode project is on your Mac, and each app can use a private GitHub repository in your account. App Store Connect keys are kept in the Mac keychain; the site states that the keys and App Store data are not sent to appto.store.
No. Appto prepares the build, metadata, and final checklist, then links you to App Store Connect. You press Submit for Review yourself, and actions that write to App Store Connect require your confirmation.
The apps, repositories, history, and chats remain yours, and Appto does not delete them. The apps can continue selling through your Apple account, while some task buttons, new niche searches, and new analytics days are locked in free mode.
