Loved the article, thanks for sharing. I’m curious if you’d share your setup. I haven’t made any macOS apps before, primarily because I never wanted to really learn XCode and obj-c. I like swift but still prefer simpler editors like Zed/VSC vs. What XCode offers.. so when you’re building these are you doing it in XCode or in another tool like Claude Code/codex/gemini CLI?

cheers

Not OP, but I use Xcode with Claude Pro and it is going fairly well. I also am creating my own personal-use apps instead of paying for monthly subscriptions. I know a bit of Swift, and had been trying to learn it while also using LLMs. At this point, I've decided to also not make these real projects and just vibe-code exactly what I want.
