Getting started
Apple development from one terminal.
From curl install to your first build, run, log stream, and test in 10 minutes.
Learn FlowDeck
Apple development,
end to end.
01 Guides
End-to-end workflows and setup walkthroughs.
Interactive mode
Drive iOS development from the keyboard.
The FlowDeck TUI: a terminal IDE for build, run, test, logs, and simulator management.
AI agents
Give AI agents an iOS build loop.
Wire Claude Code or Codex to build, screenshot, and verify the app autonomously.
AI agents · Design
Build iOS UI from design mockups with AI.
Get an agent to implement a Figma or image mockup with the build-capture-compare-fix loop.
macOS
Drive macOS apps from the terminal.
Click, type, hotkey, and navigate menus from the CLI. Works on any running macOS app.
Physical devices
Develop and deploy to physical iOS devices.
Pair, build with signing, install, and stream logs from a real iPhone or iPad.
Build system
Wrap xcodebuild with structured output.
Translate existing CI scripts to FlowDeck command by command, with rollback.
Automation
Automate iOS builds for CI and local dev.
A working GitHub Actions pipeline with logs on failure and DerivedData caching.
03 Comparisons
Choose between FlowDeck and the alternatives.
FlowDeck vs xcodebuild
Same build system. Different surface.
FlowDeck vs XcodeBuildMCP
Native CLI and TUI. Or Node.js MCP.
FlowDeck vs xcsift
Structured build output. Or the whole loop.
04 Deep Dives
Capability breakdowns of the CLI surface.
iOS simulators have outgrown simctl.
Why scripts break and what to do about it.
iOS UI automation has been stuck for a decade.
What changes when the agent can see the screen.
Reading iOS logs is harder than it should be.
Per-app filtering, and why log stream sees too much.
