TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Modaal is a Mac application that allows developers to build native iOS and Android apps simultaneously using a single shared logic core. The tool utilizes a spec-driven development process where AI-generated plans must be approved before code is written, ensuring structural integrity. It supports integration with existing AI subscriptions and provides real Xcode and Android Studio projects for local development and distribution.

Key facts

▪Modaal generates native Swift and Kotlin code from a single feature logic core to ensure parity between iOS and Android platforms.
▪The development workflow requires user approval of detailed specifications and PRDs before any code is generated by the AI agent.
▪Users can connect their own AI subscriptions, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to avoid per-token API costs associated with the platform.
▪The software produces real, editable Xcode and Android Studio projects stored in Git, allowing for standard team workflows and local simulator testing.
▪The Duet framework, which powers the cross-platform logic, is open-source and designed to reduce token usage during the development process.
