Use tool ↗About Rork
Rork turns a chat conversation into a working app. A free Design mode proposes screens and a look for your idea; paid Build mode turns those designs into real code (native SwiftUI for iPhone, Kotlin with Compose for Android, React for web) that you can preview, test on a device and publish. Rork has moved away from Expo and React Native toward native code, though older Expo projects keep working. Around the build sit an App Store Screenshot Studio, a listing reviewer, Xcode export through GitHub and imports from other app builders. It is run by Rork, Inc. under US law.

Pros & cons of Rork
Rork now generates native SwiftUI and Kotlin rather than React Native, and native iPhone apps are included at the $20 Pro tier, which makes it one of the cheapest routes from a prompt to a real App Store build. The free plan only designs screens, though, and 100 credits a month runs out quickly once device builds and simulator time start drawing on the same balance.
Pros
- Native SwiftUI and Kotlin output instead of a cross-platform wrapper
- iPhone, Android and web builds all included in the $20 Pro plan
- App Store tooling: Screenshot Studio and a listing reviewer
- Projects are private on every plan, and code can be exported to Xcode via GitHub
Cons
- Free plan cannot build or publish, only design
- iOS builds and cloud simulator sessions cost extra credits on top of each prompt
- iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, games and widgets need Max at $200 a month or more
Best for
- Founders who want a native iPhone and Android app without writing Swift or Kotlin
- Indie makers who need App Store screenshots and listing checks alongside the build
- Teams moving a prototype out of a web-only app builder into native mobile
Not for
- Anyone who wants to build and publish for free, since the free plan is design-only
- Teams that want to stay on Expo or React Native for new projects
Watch out: Pro's 100 credits cover prompts and device builds alike, so an app that needs many fix-and-rebuild cycles can use up a month's allowance in a day. Existing Expo projects keep working, but new work is native, so plan for Swift and Kotlin code if you export.
