Your AI tools don't work with Xcode

You switched to Cursor for the AI. You already have access to the best IDE and AI models. But you're still switching to Xcode 200 times a day.

Stop compromising.
You already have the best tools.

FlowDeck brings Cursor's AI-powered workflow to Apple development. Keep your custom workflow, keep your productivity.

Keep using the best editor

Your Cursor setup, your keybindings, your extensions. Everything that makes you productive.

Keep using the AI you love

The AI that actually understands your codebase, the models that work for you. The ones you already pay for.

Keep your custom workflow

Stop context-switching between editors. Write Swift with the same AI-powered IDE you already use.

AI is evolving very fast. Why trap yourself in what Xcode offers if you can choose?

Built by a developer, for developers


👋 Howdy, I'm Daniel.

I code iOS and macOS apps. Cursor changed how I work and think. The AI assistance isn't a gimmick; it's how coding should feel.

Then I'd open Xcode and lose everything. No good AI workflow. No extensions. No advanced keybindings. No customization. My main work became my least productive work.

That's broken.

FlowDeck is my take on fixing that. Full iOS & macOS development in Cursor. Builds, debugging, testing, deployment. Keep your AI workflow where it belongs.

I built this because I needed it. Now I use it every day. You probably need it too.

Your complaints make it better. I'm in Slack because this only works if it works for you.

iOS & macOS development has been stuck since 2010 while everyone else moved forward. We're fixing that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need Xcode installed?

Yes. FlowDeck uses Apple's internal build tools and SDKs behind the scenes. These are part of Xcode, but not part of Cursor or VS Code.

What versions are supported?

macOS 13+, Xcode 16+, iOS 17 or higher recommended. Works with Cursor, VS Code and other VS Code forks.

Is this really free?

Yes! FlowDeck is completely free to use. No trials, no bullshit. If I add pro features later, the core will always stay free.

How does setup work?

Install the extension, open your Xcode project folder in Cursor, and you're ready. No configuration, terminal work, or dependencies needed.

Can I use my existing Cursor subscriptions?

Yes! FlowDeck works with any Cursor subscription and all the extensions you already use. Your Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT subscriptions work perfectly too.
