> Describe a Mac app in chat and get a downloadable, ad-hoc-signed .app. An AI model writes a native SwiftUI app, it is compiled with Swift Package Manager, and you download the result. Free accounts can build five sample apps; full access builds any prompt.

Apps are ad-hoc signed, not notarized, so macOS asks the user to approve them on first launch.
