Open-source iOS app factory · runs on your Mac
The app that should exist,
on your phone tonight.
Say what it should do. TOHSENO writes native SwiftUI, builds it, verifies it, and installs it on the iPhone in your pocket. One repository. Yours. No account, no runtime, no landlord.
$
curl -fsSL https://tohseno.com/install | sh
The installer prints its source and the exact signed download before it asks for permission. Prefer a file? Notarized DMG ↗
An app is an idea made specific enough to meet reality.
[ 001 ] The loop
One intention. One real attempt. Then the next one.
There is no plan, no market, no pitch. There is a sentence, a build, and a thing in your hand that either helps or doesn't — which is the only feedback that has ever mattered.
01 / INTENTION
Describe it once
A plain sentence about your actual life. TOHSENO holds the first form of the app and asks the few questions that genuinely change the shape of it.
02 / FACTORY
It keeps working
Native SwiftUI, an ordinary Xcode project, compiled and verified on your own machine. Close the window — it carries on without you.
03 / CONTACT
It opens on your phone
Plug the iPhone in. The app installs and launches. Use it with your hands, and let the original idea lose its immunity from reality.
[ 002 ] Personal software
You are allowed to make software that only you use.
Every app below is too small to be a startup and too specific to be bought. That is exactly the category the App Store was never going to serve.
02 / Father of twins
WHO ATE?
Track which twin ate, slept, and pooped — without mixing them up
03 / Night-shift nurse
HANDOFF
Keep the details I'm too tired to trust my memory with
04 / Small farmer
WATER WALK
Tell me what needs water today before I walk the field
05 / Tattoo artist
INK MEMORY
Photograph every healed tattoo and remember the ink recipe
06 / Touring musician
ROOM TONE
Remember what every venue sounded like before tonight's soundcheck
[ 003 ] Ownership
The factory is a midwife. Not a landlord.
The test is simple: if TOHSENO shut down tonight, your app keeps building tomorrow. Everything below exists to make that sentence true.
01
Ordinary SwiftUI and XcodeNothing to learn that isn't already the platform. Any iOS developer can read it.
02
One Git repository per appOn your disk, from the first commit. Push it anywhere or nowhere.
03
No proprietary runtimeNo SDK to import, no server to reach, nothing that expires.
04
No TOHSENO accountLocal creation never asks who you are.
05
Continue with any model — or noneBring a subscription, point at a local endpoint, or just open Xcode and type.
06
Publish only when you choosePrivate by default. The app is yours before anyone else sees it.
Your idea does not need to become a startup
before it is allowed to become real.
[ 004 ] Before you install
One Mac app. Clear choices.

$
curl -fsSL https://tohseno.com/install | sh
Paste it into Terminal. Read the source, confirm the signed download, press Return — and make the app better after you've used it once.
