Lovable launches its AI app builder on iOS and Android

In short: Lovable has launched a mobile version of its AI app builder for iPhone and Android phones.

What happened

Lovable, a startup that helps people build websites and web apps with AI, is now available as a mobile app in Apple’s App Store and Google Play. The company says you can start a project by typing or speaking prompts, which are simple instructions like you would give to a helpful assistant.

Lovable is pitching the app as a way to capture ideas when you are away from your computer. After you describe what you want, Lovable says its system can keep working on the project on its own, then notify you when a build is ready to review.

The app also supports switching between phone and computer, so you can continue the same project in different places. Think of it like writing a document on your laptop, then picking up the same document on your phone.

Lovable’s timing is notable because Apple recently tightened how these “vibe coding” apps can work. These are tools that let you create software by describing it in plain language. Apple has blocked updates to some other apps in this category, and it has required that previews of generated apps move to a web browser instead of running inside the app itself.

Why it matters

For everyday users, this shows how fast “build with AI” tools are moving onto phones. It also shows that Apple’s rules can shape what you are allowed to do inside an app, even if the app is mainly a tool for creating other things.
