Lovable launches its vibe coding app on iOS and Android
Image Credits:Lovable 9:09 AM PDT · April 28, 2026 Apple’s recent crackdown on vibe-coding apps hasn’t held up Lovable’s launch of its no-code AI app builder, which is now available as a mobile app on Apple and Google’s app stores. The vibe coding startup’s new mobile app is being pitched to would-be app builders as a way to code on the go via voice or text AI prompts that let you capture your ideas as they pop into your head. That means you can kick off Lovable to work on your random app idea from anywhere, letting its agent run autonomously after receiving your input. The new app will also allow you to switch back and forth between your computer and phone to pick up where you left off on a given project and receive notifications when a build is ready for review. The app’s arrival comes shortly after Apple addressed what vibe coding apps can and can’t do on its App Store. The tech giant recently blocked updates to popular vibe coding tools, including Replit and Vibecode, for violations of its developer guidelines. Simply put, Apple wasn’t banning vibe-coding apps themselves, but it won’t allow apps that download new code or change their functionality, as that presents a security risk to end users. (It also means that Apple’s App Review team can’t properly vet the app during the approval process.) Apple also temporarily removed the vibe-coding app Anything from the App Store for similar reasons, but the app returned after making changes earlier this month. To comply with Apple’s rules, the vibe coding apps are no longer able to run their generated apps inside the host app. Instead, those app previews were moved to web browsers. Lovable has also seemingly complied with these rules as its new app touts the ability to turn ideas into “working websites or web apps.” Topics When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission.
