LimAI turns a plain-English description into a working mobile app you can preview on your phone in real time. No setup, no boilerplate β€” you describe, Claude builds.

1. Describe what you want

On the home page type a sentence like build me a habit tracker with streaks and a dark theme. The prompt is captured and handed off to the builder.

2. Watch it generate

The three-pane builder opens β€” chat on the left, code in the middle, live preview on the right. Claude streams files into the editor as it writes them. You can interrupt at any time with a follow-up prompt.

3. Preview on your phone

Scan the QR code with the Expo Go app to run the build natively on iOS or Android. Hot reload keeps it in sync as Claude edits.

No Expo Go yet?

The browser preview already runs your app inside a React Native shim β€” you can ship a first version without installing anything.

4. Ship it

When the app is ready, hit Publish. LimAI handles the icon, the screenshots, the EAS build, and pushes to TestFlight or the App Store. See Publishing for the full flow.
