About App Store Without a Mac
Build an iPhone and Android app with AI and publish it to the App Store and Google Play without a Mac or Xcode. You need only Apple and Google developer accounts.
What is Floot?
Floot is an AI app builder that builds your iPhone and Android apps in the cloud and submits them to the stores, so you can publish to the App Store without a Mac or Xcode.
Publishing to the App Store normally means a Mac, Xcode, certificates and provisioning profiles. Floot builds the native iOS and Android apps in the cloud and submits them, so you need only the developer accounts.
Why build it with Floot?
Apple's build and upload tools run only on macOS. Floot builds, signs and submits the iOS app on its own machines, and does the same for Android.
How Floot works
Add Floot to the AI you already use from its listing in the Claude or ChatGPT directory, or the Cursor Marketplace. There is no address to copy.
- Build the app with Floot from ChatGPT, Claude or the Floot editor.
- Join the Apple Developer Program and/or create a Google Play developer account.
- Ask Floot to publish the iOS or Android app.
- Floot builds, signs and submits it; you answer the stores' review questions.
For example, you could start with this prompt:
Build a phone app for my yoga studio's members: class schedule, booking a spot, and a push notification an hour before class. I want it on the App Store and Google Play.
What can you use Floot for?
- Windows and Chromebook users: Ship to the App Store without buying Apple hardware.
- Small businesses: Give customers or staff a real app with push notifications.
- Founders testing an idea: Get on both stores from one app, then iterate.
Who is it for?
People who want an iPhone and Android app but don't own a Mac or don't want to learn Xcode.
Who founded Floot?
Floot was founded by Yujian Yao, who is its CEO.
Is Floot backed by Y Combinator?
Yes. Floot is backed by Y Combinator and was part of the Summer 2025 batch (YC S25).
What does Floot include?
- No Mac, no Xcode: Floot builds and signs the iOS app in the cloud and uploads it to App Store Connect.
- iOS and Android from one app: The same Floot app ships to the web, the App Store and Google Play.
- Build from ChatGPT or Claude: Describe the app in a conversation with Floot connected, or in Floot's editor.
- Push notifications: Native push on iPhone and Android is a built-in service.
- What you still need: An Apple Developer Program membership (US$99 a year) and a Google Play developer account (US$25 once). Store review is done by Apple and Google.
