apps shipped
Real apps in real categories, each one taken from idea to the App Store through the same gated pipeline.
AppFactory checks the idea against live App Store data, builds the SwiftUI app, sets up the backend, the paywall and the store listing, and takes it to TestFlight. It stops for you at every step that matters.
Track record
AppFactory is the pipeline behind our own apps. Dozens have shipped to the App Store with it, and the rules it enforces come from every review along the way.
Real apps in real categories, each one taken from idea to the App Store through the same gated pipeline.
Not one app turned away under guideline 4.3. Every app gets its own idea, design and listing, so none looks like a copy.
Several were approved on their very first submission, because the store checks run before the upload, not after a rejection.
Paired with steady marketing, these apps earn every month. AppFactory gets you to a polished launch; growth still takes the work every app needs.
A real session
Sped up, unedited: AppFactory scores water tracking niches with live App Store data. That first step needs no accounts at all.

Your agent writes the code. AppFactory makes sure it ships, and asks you before anything goes live.
Why it works
Niches scored by search demand, competition and how stale the leaders are, with competitor revenue estimates and a name check before you commit.
SwiftUI from a tested template: onboarding, paywalls, settings, analytics hooks and tests. iPhone, iOS 17.5 and later.
Subscriptions with trials and local prices in App Store Connect, RevenueCat offerings and a StoreKit config that stays in sync.
Localized metadata, ASO keywords, legal pages, branded screenshots, preview videos and custom product pages, built from your spec and checked against Apple's rules.
A stage is done only when its checks pass. When something needs you, the run stops with a clear NEEDS_HUMAN.md.
How it works
Install the package from your download, paste your license key once, add it to your agent.
uv tool install ./appfactory-*.whl
appfactory activate
claude mcp add appfactory -- appfactory-mcpTurn on only the services you need. Research needs no accounts. Apple, Supabase, RevenueCat, Firebase, GitHub and AI providers are all optional, with your own keys.
The agent runs the pipeline stage by stage. You approve anything that spends money or goes live, and you press Submit for Review.
What it builds
Pricing
No subscription and no per app fee. The services you turn on bill you directly: Apple's Developer Program is $99 a year, Supabase and RevenueCat start free.
Needs a Mac with uv. Xcode and an Apple Developer account only for the App Store stages.
FAQ
A Mac, uv and a coding agent that speaks MCP: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI or Cursor. Idea research works with nothing else. Building and shipping need Xcode and an Apple Developer Program membership.
No. It takes the app to TestFlight and prepares the submission. Pressing Submit for Review in App Store Connect is always yours, and nothing goes live without your approval.
Apple rejects near identical apps (guidelines 4.2.6 and 4.3). Not one of the dozens of apps we shipped with AppFactory was rejected as spam: the pipeline gives each app its own idea, design, copy and listing. Keep doing that, and submit from your own developer account.
Only to the services you turn on, with your own keys. There is no telemetry. The one call AppFactory makes for itself is a weekly license check that sends your license key and your Mac's name to Polar.
Yes. The license is checked once a week; without a connection every tool keeps working for 30 days.
One license covers up to 3 Macs at once. Run appfactory deactivate on the old one to free its seat.
New versions appear in your Polar account and in an email. Download the new package and install it over the old one; your settings stay.
AppFactory itself costs nothing after the purchase. Apple charges $99 a year for the Developer Program. Supabase, RevenueCat, Firebase and GitHub all have free plans that cover a new app; AI providers bill by use, and only if your app uses AI.
Because the full product is delivered the moment you buy, all sales are final. If a charge was a mistake or the license cannot be activated on a supported Mac, write to [email protected] and we will sort it out.
One payment of $149. Every update included. Build as many apps as you like.
