Lovable launches its vibe-coding app on iOS and Android
Build apps via voice or text prompts on the go with Lovable's new mobile app...
Lovable, the startup behind a popular no-code AI app builder, has launched its mobile app on both Apple's App Store and Google Play. The app is pitched as a way for would-be app builders to capture ideas on the go using voice or text prompts, letting Lovable's AI agent autonomously build working websites or web apps. Users can start a project on their phone and seamlessly switch to their computer, receiving notifications when builds are ready for review. This launch comes shortly after Apple blocked updates to similar tools like Replit and Vibecode for violating developer guidelines.
Apple's crackdown isn't a ban on vibe-coding apps themselves, but rather a restriction on apps that download new code or change functionality, citing security risks to end users. To comply, Lovable's mobile app no longer runs generated apps inside the host app; instead, previews are moved to web browsers. This mirrors changes made by other vibe-coding apps like Anything, which was temporarily removed from the App Store before returning with similar adjustments. Lovable's mobile launch signals its commitment to the mobile-first vibe-coding trend while navigating Apple's evolving rules.
- Lovable's mobile app lets users build apps via voice or text AI prompts
- Cross-platform syncing allows switching between phone and computer seamlessly
- Complies with Apple's rules by running app previews in web browsers instead of in-app
Why It Matters
Enables on-the-go app development via AI, but must navigate Apple's security restrictions on code execution.
