Designed for local AI
Connect Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint to make simple apps privately and entirely on device. Or bring your own API key or ChatGPT subscription and create more complex ones with ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
Personal Mac apps, forged on demand.
Ironsmith lives in your menu bar. Describe what you need, and it builds a native Mac app for whatever you'd like. Free and open source.
Requires macOS 26 or newer. Supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Download for Intel Mac instead.
Real native apps
Every app created with Ironsmith is coded in Swift and SwiftUI. No bloated Electron wrappers or background browsers.
Secure from the start
Created apps are sandboxed and hardened by default, greatly reducing the impact of bugs, mistakes, or malicious behavior.
Ask for the app you wish existed.
Start with the blocker in front of you. Ironsmith is best at specific personal utilities that would be annoying to hunt down online.
"Make a utility that renames a folder of screenshots by date and window title."
"Build a tiny app that splits a PDF into one file per page."
"Build a clipboard cleaner that strips tracking parameters from copied URLs."
"Make a small CSV inspector that highlights duplicate rows and missing values."
