Loved the article, thanks for sharing. I’m curious if you’d share your setup. I haven’t made any macOS apps before, primarily because I never wanted to really learn XCode and obj-c. I like swift but still prefer simpler editors like Zed/VSC vs. What XCode offers.. so when you’re building these are you doing it in XCode or in another tool like Claude Code/codex/gemini CLI?
Amp Code is also very good, they released about 2 weeks ago their Oracle feature which leverages o3 to do reviews (https://ampcode.com/news/oracle). Amp leans the closer to Claude Code more than other solutions I’ve seen so far, the team there is really leaning into the agentic approach.
I watch the changes on Kilo Code as well (https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode). Their goal is to merge the best from Cline & Roo Code then sprinkle their own improvements on top.
cheers
