Capacity Desktop
Launched this week
A Mac app that turns plain English into real apps — built and stored on your machine, not someone else's servers. Your code, your GitHub, your own AI at cost. No marked-up credits, no lock-in. Free, no sign-up. macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows on the roadmap.

@baboo77777 The local-first part is what caught my eye. What made you go desktop instead of another browser tab? I've built Mac-only myself and the tradeoff I keep running into is that you lose everyone who isn't on a Mac, but you gain things the browser simply can't do.

@julian_belting for people to own their stack. Online platforms are great, but the vendor lock-in is real. This app is part of a major effort for people to develop complex apps without relying on someone else infra

This seems like a competitor to @Glaze by Raycast but it seems to focus on web-distributed apps, at least from the website.
Are the desktop apps native, or Electron?
Capacity
@chrismessina I'll have a look at Glaze, I really like Raycast products. Desktop apps will be electron first for simplicity but the beauty of templates is we can integrate native ones in the future
Solo founder here, no dev background — I shipped a native iOS + Android app built almost entirely with AI, so I love watching this category mature. My biggest lesson: generating code was never the hard part, verifying it was (two app store rejections taught me to check the build artifact, not the source folder). How does Capacity help users trust what got built beyond "it looks right in the preview"? Cheers, Gero

@nevertoolateoriginal That is a great question the answer is at the heart of the philosophy of this desktop application. As you mentioned, developing websites, a mobile app, or a game is not just about code, but also quality. You have to ensure that your application is scalable to bring in more users, secure to prevent any breach, and in your case, meet the quality standards of app stores.
This is a lot to think about, especially when you're not a tech. Our goal is to make software development simple for non-tech people to handle this tedious yet necessary process. So we develop and integrate AI workflows inside the application that prove their efficiency. Today with Capacity desktop, you can vibe code, spec code, break down your work in development sprints, etc. No technical knowledge required to implement features. In the near future, we plan to help users develop mobile apps, desktop apps, games, and more. So we'll keep on integrating these battle-tested AI workflows. And handling app store requests would be part of it.
By the way, we rolled out a roadmap within the application so any users can submit feature requests, bug reports, and share with others.
@baboo77777 Thanks Baptiste — "tedious yet necessary" sums up my last two months better than I could have. Glad to hear store-readiness is on the roadmap; that's exactly where non-tech builders like me hit the wall. Good luck with the launch! Cheers, Gero
