Monad Design / Early preview

The app is the canvas.

Design mobile native apps from the state that actually exists. Point to what should change and let your coding agent implement it in the repository you already use.

Early preview for local iOS development on macOS.

01A shared visual workspace

Feedback stays attached to the real product.

No detached mockup, no guessing which screen state the request refers to. You and the agent work against the same running mobile app and the same source tree.

01

Show the exact state

Navigate the mobile app yourself, including screens that depend on account data, navigation, or interaction.

02

Point instead of overexplaining

Select an interface element or draw directly on the screen, then attach the implementation note.

03

Compare before deciding

Review the original and up to five alternatives in the same app state before choosing one.

04

Stay in control

Accept a result, keep the original, or keep refining. Every change remains inspectable in Git.

02One repeatable loop

From running screen to reviewed source change.

The session stays open after each request, so design becomes a conversation with the product instead of a handoff document.

  1. 01

    Start

    Choose the current iOS app and Simulator.

  2. 02

    Reproduce

    Navigate to the exact state to preserve.

  3. 03

    Describe

    Select or annotate what should change.

  4. 04

    Implement

    The agent edits and rebuilds the existing project.

  5. 05

    Choose

    Compare the original and alternatives, then approve.

03What works today

A complete visual implementation loop for mobile apps.

Work from the running product, send grounded context to your agent, compare real alternatives, and approve the result. The current preview supports local Xcode and Expo iOS projects on macOS.

In the preview

  • Control a local iOS Simulator
  • Select interface elements with visual context
  • Annotate with shapes, arrows, text, and notes
  • Request and compare one to five alternatives
  • Use the iPad companion for touch and Apple Pencil
  • Work with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Zed

You will need

  • A Mac with Xcode and an iOS Simulator
  • An existing Git repository with an Expo or Xcode app
  • A supported local coding agent
  • Image input support for annotated requests
04Your project stays yours

Same repository. Local evidence. Your approval.

Monad Design only works with projects and Simulators you explicitly choose. Captured evidence stays local and is excluded from Git by default; your agent edits the repository you can already inspect.
