Advanced iOS capabilities.

Go beyond standard apps. Unlock AR, body tracking, hardware sensors and more, all generated as idiomatic SwiftUI.

Not just apps: websites too.

Describe a website and Orchard designs it, builds it with real 3D, scroll-driven motion and generated imagery, checks it on phone and desktop, and hosts it on its own address. Change anything by chatting.

Built from one prompt. 3D model, scroll-driven exploded view, generated product shots, playable demo: nothing hand-coded.
  • 3D that movesReal 3D models on the page: a product that turns as you scroll, parts that fly apart and back together.
  • Scroll effectsSections reveal, pin and parallax as you scroll. Motion with a purpose, not a template.
  • HD image generationNo photos? It makes its own: product shots, textures and illustrations in the site’s own style.
  • Interactive, not flatThings to click, drag and play with: a live demo of your product, right on the page.
  • Checked on every screenEvery build is opened on phone and desktop before you see it, so it works, not just looks.
  • Hosted. Edit by chatting.Live on its own address in one click. Change anything by describing it, like your app.

Real-world hide and seek. Draw a zone on the map, share a six-letter code, and seekers only ever see hiders as fuzzy circles.

Hi, I'm Ross.

I built Orchard so anyone with an idea can get a real native iPhone app, not a web wrapper. Over 500 apps have been built on it so far, and I build my own apps with it too (they're just above).

I read every support email myself: rossh@orchapp.dev

Tokens are your build fuel: a typical app uses ~1 to 3M, an edit ~100 to 400K. Spend them your way: many apps, or one app polished to perfection.

All prices shown in US Dollar. Charged in USD at checkout. Stripe converts to your local currency automatically.

Publishing apps to TestFlight requires an Apple Developer Program membership ($99/year). If you do not yet have an account you can sign up here.

Common questions.

Not to run your own app on your own iPhone. Any free Apple ID can sign an app onto a device you own. Orchard gives you the full Xcode project on a paid plan, and you install it from there with no fee to Apple. Free signing means 7-day certificates and three apps at a time. The $99 Developer Program is for distribution: the App Store and TestFlight, where other people can install your app.

Yes. Orchard generates a real, native iOS app in SwiftUI, the same language and frameworks Apple ships. It's not a web wrapper or a no-code template: you get a genuine Xcode project with idiomatic Swift source you can open, edit, and submit to the App Store.

The best AI app generator for iOS is one that produces real, native code you actually own and can ship, not a hybrid web wrapper. Orchard turns a single text prompt into production-ready SwiftUI and pushes it straight to TestFlight, so you go from idea to a testable app in minutes.

Yes. Orchard builds, signs, and ships your app to TestFlight, and the output is a standard Xcode project that meets App Store requirements. You own the app, the code, and the revenue. Orchard never takes a cut.

No. You describe the app you want in plain English and Orchard writes the Swift for you: no coding, no Xcode setup, no boilerplate. And if you do know Swift, every project is a real Xcode project you can open and customise.

Orchard builds native iPhone apps, and iPhone + Android apps, across most categories: productivity, trackers, social, utilities, and AI-powered assistants. Describe the features you want (camera, maps, notifications, sign-in, a database, AI chat) and Orchard wires in the right native frameworks automatically.

Yes. Choose iPhone + Android when you start a project and Orchard builds one React Native app that runs on both. Scan a QR code in the free Expo Go app and it opens on your phone in seconds, with the real camera, photos and AI. On a paid plan you can send it to TestFlight and the App Store, and build Android for testing and for Google Play’s internal testing track. For AR, LiDAR, in-app purchases and the deepest iPhone features, choose iPhone app, which builds native Swift.

Yes, that's a core feature. Open the chat panel and describe what you want to change. Orchard modifies the relevant files and shows you exactly what changed, then rebuilds the preview.

Yes. Mention "AI chat", "smart assistant", or "chatbot" in your prompt and Orchard adds LLM-powered features automatically. Your app calls our managed API; we handle model routing, rate limiting, and billing. Choose from Claude, GPT, Gemini, or DeepSeek.

Yes. The app is yours: code, brand, and revenue. Orchard never takes a cut of what your app earns.

Build your first app on the free plan before you pay anything, no card needed. On a paid plan, a build or edit that fails because of a problem on our side doesn’t use your tokens. You can cancel anytime from your account and keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for.

Apple reviews the app, not how it was written. Orchard builds a compiled iPhone app that goes through normal App Review under your own developer account. Apps get rejected for ordinary reasons like crashes, missing privacy details or thin features, so Orchard fills in your privacy policy, support page and review notes before you submit.

Orchard builds native Swift apps for iPhone and iPad, and iPhone + Android apps in React Native. If you need Apple Watch, Apple TV or Vision Pro apps, home screen widgets, Live Activities or NFC, Orchard isn’t the right tool today, and we’d rather tell you before you pay.

They stay yours. Your prompts are used to build your app and are not used to train or improve any AI model. We don’t sell your data and Orchard doesn’t show ads.
