Your own computer in the cloud to create mobile apps

A cloud machine with iOS simulators, every coding agent, and a pro terminal, that starts in milliseconds and sleeps when nobody's using it. Anyone can start building for $0.

Try inti.computer Read the brief

01 / problem

Building mobile apps with agents still needs a Mac and a machine that never sleeps

The hardware wall

You need a Mac

The iOS simulator only runs on macOS. Anyone on Windows, Linux or a Chromebook is locked out before writing a line.

The lid problem

Agents stop when you do

SSH into your own computer works until you close the laptop. Agents are meant to work 24/7; a laptop isn't.

The VPS tax

Always-on means always billing

A VPS runs and bills around the clock, idle or not, and still has no iOS simulator.

The $200 setup

Or pay for a walled garden

Rork's top plan runs about $200/month for a comparable cloud setup, locked to its own agent and its own UI when they give you a cloud sim.

02 / who it's for

We don't fight Lovable or Replit. We catch who they graduate.

Not our fight

First-time builders

Prompt-to-app tools like Lovable and Replit own this category: a chat box, a preview, no setup. Great on-ramp, low ceiling.

they learn to vibe code, then outgrow it

Our segment

Builders who now want a real setup

Graduated vibe coders, further down the road, who know how to drive agents and want more control than a chat box.
React Native developers new to agentic coding, who want a professional terminal where they pick the harness and use the subscription they already pay for.

Both are building companies or shipping apps, so they already spend on tools and setup.

Where it converges

The terminal, in the cloud

Pro mobile devs end up in a terminal running Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode. We give them that, already set up, on a machine that keeps working when they log off.

03 / product

One cloud computer, everything a mobile app needs

instant sandboxes

up in under 90 ms
instant backups
4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM

On only while work happens

Our switcher wakes the machine when the user or an agent touches it, hibernates it when they stop, and resumes with the same state. Compute is spent only on real work.

work environment

herdr multiplexer
claude code
codex
opencode
ssh
web terminal

Any harness, their subscription

SSH in or use the browser terminal. Every coding agent is preinstalled; users bring the plan they already pay for, or start on OpenCode's free tier.

cloud iOS sims

no Mac needed
free on public repos
agent-device included

Agents that test the app themselves

iOS simulators on GitHub runners in the user's own account. With agent-device, the agent builds, taps through and verifies the app on its own.

04 / proprietary technology

Two tools we built that make mobile in the cloud fast

Distribution + simulators

native-sim

The first CLI that lets anyone run cloud iOS simulators. One command builds the app on a GitHub macOS runner in the user's own account and streams the simulator back, with no Mac and no hardware on our side.

Free for public repos, billed by GitHub per second for private ones, so it costs us nothing to run.
Works on its own, outside inti, which makes it a top-of-funnel tool for React Native developers.
We hook into every run to introduce the inti computer: the natural next step once someone has a cloud simulator and wants an agent driving it.

Instant reloads, no rebuilds

Native Now

A replacement for Expo Go: a newer, much more powerful app that we install on the simulator. Hundreds of native libraries are already compiled in, so most projects never need a native rebuild.

No Expo dev server in the loop. Every change in the codebase becomes a static build that installs back into the app in seconds.
Agents push an update when they finish a turn and get the result back, including on-device errors with the stack trace, so they fix their own crashes.
Skipping native builds keeps simulator sessions short and cheap, which is what lets us offer them free.

05 / why we win

Free to start, because we only pay for compute that's working

Millisecond start / stop <90 ms

Machines wake and hibernate in milliseconds, so we don't keep idle servers warm. A VPS bills 720 hours a month; an inti machine bills only the minutes an agent or a person is active.

No inference bill $0 AI cost

Users bring their own Claude, ChatGPT or OpenCode subscription. We sell the computer, not tokens, so our margins don't shrink when models get used more.

No Mac fleet $0 sim hardware

iOS simulators run on GitHub runners in the user's own account: free for public repos, billed by GitHub for private ones. We never buy or rack a Mac.

Compute hours a user pays for in a month, same 40 hours of agent work

VPS

720 h billed, always on

Own laptop

Agents stop the moment the lid closes; no iOS without a Mac

inti

~40 h billed, hibernated the rest

07 / business model

Free hours bring them in. Subscriptions and credit keep them building.

Free

$0 / mo

6 free sandbox hours every month. No credit card. Enough to build and ship a first app.

Starter

$29 / mo

$29 of compute credit every month. Unused credit rolls over.

Pro most picked

$79 / mo

$90 of compute credit every month, a bonus on top of the price.

Max

$199 / mo

$240 of compute credit every month, for teams running agents all day.

Per-second pricing $0.43 / hr

A mobile machine (4 vCPU · 8 GB) past the free hours, billed per second from credit. Top-ups are one-time and never expire.

Built-in margin 30% markup

Every paid second carries a 30% markup over our compute cost, with no AI inference and no Mac hardware underneath.

Cost of a free user ≤$2 / mo

The free allowance is capped at 6 hours of compute, so acquisition cost per free user has a hard ceiling.

08 / why now

Agents are moving to the cloud and working around the clock

Agents outlive the session

Coding agents now run for hours on their own. They need a computer that stays reachable after the developer closes the laptop, and one that doesn't bill while it waits.

Vibe coders are leveling up

A generation that learned to build with prompt-to-app tools is now shipping real products, and hitting the ceiling of a chat box.

Mobile is the hardest target

Web apps deploy from anywhere. Mobile still needs Xcode, a simulator and a Mac. Removing that wall is where the leverage is.

Anyone can build a mobile app. Starting today, for $0.

inti is the cloud computer for the builders past vibe coding: every agent, a real terminal, iOS simulators, and machines that only run while work happens.
