I did it. I one-shotted a Lovable app - and not a simple one.
I built a branded, Netflix-style hub of AI tools for my audience. Think: a website where people land, browse a library of AI agents and workflows trained on my expertise, sign up, fill in their profile, and start using the tools - with every tool knowing who they are and personalizing its responses based on their profile. The hub handles auth, onboarding, usage tracking via webhooks, a paywall that kicks in after a free tier, full run history with resume, dark mode, and an admin dashboard. 9 pages total.
Lovable Desktop is a fast, lightweight app designed to help you organize projects with tabs and connect directly to local MCPs, solving the friction of scattered workflows and limited local integrations.
What makes it stand out is its local-first approach with MCP support, combined with a clean tab-based workspace and native keyboard shortcuts for speed.
Key features:
Project tabs for multitasking
Direct local MCP connections
Native Mac performance & shortcuts
Perfect for builders, developers, and teams who want faster, more streamlined workflows on desktop.
If you’re building across multiple projects and want tighter local control, this is worth checking out.

@rohanrecommends Kudos on the launch. How does it handle auth for custom MCP servers, like internal ones in a team setup?
The local MCP connection is the feature that changes everything, being able to connect your own tools directly without going through a browser tab is a huge workflow upgrade.
As an indie iOS maker who lives in Xcode, I'm curious: is there any plan for Xcode or Swift-specific integrations, or is Lovable primarily focused on web app development for now?
Desktop apps for AI builders felt inevitable - browser tabs don't cut it when you're in deep flow. The MCP support is what makes this genuinely powerful. As someone building security tools for vibe-coded apps, I'm curious: does the desktop version add any security sandboxing for the generated code preview?
