Build iPhone and Mac apps in the age of AI
Bring your own AI. Connect Claude, your custom models, or any AI agent directly to your projects through MCP Server integration. Each project gets dedicated terminal tabs that auto-label from your commands. Let AI agents build, test, and run alongside you.
The new way to develop iOS and Mac apps. Zcode brings AI-powered development to the next level, letting you focus on building great apps while the tools handle the complexity.
Work on multiple projects at once. In the AI era, developers don't work on single projects anymore. Zcode brings all your projects into one unified workspace, letting you and your AI agents connect ideas across codebases and build better solutions, faster.
Work on multiple projects at once Zcode brings all your projects into one unified workspace.
Your flow, your opinion. Wrappers will never be better than the real thing. You get a full terminal so you can use your AI agents, skills, and integrations exactly the way you want them. Build, test, debug, and deploy with complete control.
IDE for the AI tool. With the included Zcode MCP, AI agents can build, run and even inspect the console output. The AI can add logs, run, inspect logs, iterate on solution and loop until task is done.
One Click MCP installation1. No need to get lost in config json files.
Install the Zcode MCP with one click.
MCP are installed per project so they dont take context space where you do not need it.
Still want to edit code? Zcode doesn't include an editor, so use VSCode, Cursor, Vim, or your favorite IDE. Zcode's Mini View floats above it, handling the build, run, test, and debug work without context switching.
B
One global shortcut. Trigger Build, Run or any action from anywhere, without the need to cmd tab.
Actions. From Run and Build, to Run without building or SPM resolve packages and even clearing derrived data. All One click away.
Create new projects. No need to open Xcode, just CMD + N to start a new iOS, Mac or multiplatform project.
Update app versions and build numbers without context switching
Configure build schemes without the complexity
Commit, branch, and collaborate—all without leaving the app
Archive your builds, organize your releases in one place
Launch iOS and macOS simulators in seconds, control from one place
You and your AI see every test result. Debug and iterate together in real time
