Strengths

End-to-end: plan, code, project, live preview
Steers toward modern SwiftUI best practices
Open-source with built-in evals + release pipeline

Open challenges

Cost and rate limits from Claude API dependence
macOS-only; human review still required
Consistency in complex apps unproven

License: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 — distributed as an MVP beta. Broad real-world evaluation is still limited, but the bundled benchmarking evals suggest usage evidence will accumulate over time.
