What is x1?

x1 guides you through the full journey of shipping an iPhone app: design, development, testing, App Store screenshots and even submission. You describe the idea and the AI handles the build, so non-technical founders can go from concept to a live App Store listing.

Pros: what x1 does well

  • Handles the entire app pipeline end to end
  • No coding required

Cons: where it falls short

  • iOS only for now

Who x1 is for
