Modaal is a Mac application that generates native Android and iOS apps from shared logic using spec-driven AI development workflows.
What the product does and how it is positioned
Modaal is a Mac-based development tool designed to create native mobile software for Android and iOS using AI agents. It utilizes an architecture where application business logic is written once in a shared core, while native user interfaces are built with Jetpack Compose for Android and SwiftUI for iOS.
The tool emphasizes specification-led implementation. Before writing code, it converts text prompts, existing documents, screenshots, or design links into structured plans, supporting all implementation steps, architecture decisions, and testing parameters are approved prior to source code modification.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Teams can define logic once to produce synchronized native Android Studio and Xcode projects without web wrappers.
Product managers and engineers can create structured PRDs and feature specifications prior to committing automated code changes.
Engineers can build applications requiring direct platform capabilities such as device sensors, widgets, and background tasks.
The documented workflow, where available
The user submits a feature prompt, functional requirement document, interface screenshots, or a Figma URL.
The system drafts a root PRD.md and technical spec detailing technical approach, files to edit, risks, and testing methods for user approval.
Upon plan approval, the agent writes the shared core behavior alongside native Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI interface components.
The application compiles into local simulators, verifying that both target platforms satisfy the defined test fixtures.
Users commit source files to local Git repositories, submit GitHub pull requests, or deploy packages through platform distribution channels.
Modaal coordinates multiplatform development by separating interface declaration from application behavior. Rather than using an embedded web container or runtime abstraction bridge, the environment compiles direct native code using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android alongside Swift and SwiftUI for iOS.
Consistency between platforms is maintained through fixture replay mechanisms built directly into the build pipeline. When behavior diverges between the two targets, the build runner halts to help reduce logic drift between releases.
Checks to run with your own material and workflow
What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
Modaal supports native Android development using Jetpack Compose and native iOS development using SwiftUI from a single shared logic core.
The Modaal desktop application is built for Mac computers and executes development builds locally on macOS.
Modaal uses a bring-your-own-subscription system that connects to accounts from providers such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot.
No, Modaal generates real Kotlin code that communicates directly with Android system APIs without web views or intermediate runtime bridges.
Modaal writes standard Xcode and Android Studio projects directly to local disk within standard Git repositories on the user machine.
