Creo - Design & Development process into a single easy to use app

by•

Creo is a next generation Mac tool which aims to combine the Design and Development process into a single easy to use application. Thanks to our CreoKIT we always use NATIVE components and classes, no simulated or web based code is used.

This is a really nice app that came out of private beta today. It merges design and development into a single process so that you can get a prototype built quickly.
This looks neat! When are you looking at launching support for Android?
Would love to try it for Android. Looks awesome. Congrats!
Have you tried Thunkable.com? It's for android. I've really enjoyed hacking on it.
Are there any limitations? Does it have the capability to build all the different types of products that you can build with traditional programming languages.
Maker
yes, most common operations will be visual in order to speed up development but everything can also be created/manipulated using a programming language.
It's good for prototypes. Customizing the UI is not really flexible.
Maker
Interface can be fully customized using custom views. We haven't yet documented that feature but you can get a preview of the usage in a couple of blog post ( and ).
Ahh I see. Can you apply the same technique to switches, sliders, search bars, navigation, etc. ?
Maker
not in this first beta version but it is a planned feature.
You wrote "we are able to execute any iOS code under Mac". In the same way as simulator does? If not, why not use the simulator to run your code?
It's looking good, but frankly I don't have time to give it a serious test. I'm hoping to see some independent reviews summing up the pros and cons to figure if I should dive deeper into this
it's a beta released with some undocumented features...personally I think right now you can use it to create mockups of apps that you might want to build for fun an pleasure, as time passes within the next couple of months and the unveiling of the other features it might become a really great way to have non-developers but tech-savvy people develop apps that could easily end up on the app-store. I'm also writing a longer write-up on my experience so far..
Lacks in customization of UI, like Inventor there should be an option to adjust UI to personal taste.
Maker
please see my reply to Dimo Trifonov question.
Want to give this a try, is the demo still available? I entered my email, but still haven't received a download link.
Is the ability for web development in the works?
This looks really cool, do you plan on launching a Windows version at any point? (rules me out for now).
Maker
no Windows version is planned anytime soon... we'll see in the future.
