Hi everyone, I'm Tony, the maker of RunWhale.
I wanted to make the step from 'I have an idea' to 'I can try it' possible on a phone. RunWhale brings the conversation, project files, code changes, and app preview into one place.
It is built on DeepSeek Harness, Expo, and React Native. Start a project or import a repository, ask for a change, review what changed, and try the result on the same device.
Development tools run on your phone; AI inference uses a remote model provider you configure. The current focus is Web and Expo projects.
The source is open, with original code under Apache-2.0. The iOS app is a one-time paid download, listed at US$10 in the project README; regional store pricing and model service charges are separate.
Demo: https://github.com/user-attachme...
I'd love to hear what you would build from your phone, and where the workflow could be simpler.
