Creating Your First App - Vibecode Docs

Vibecode Documentation

Vibecode lets you turn your idea into a working app by describing what you want. Here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Sign Up and Create a Project

1. Download the Vibecode app on iOS or open the web app
2. Create an account with your email
3. Tap New Project to start building

Step 2: Describe Your App

Type a prompt that describes what you want your app to do. Be as detailed or as simple as you like — the AI will figure out the rest. Example prompts:

“Create a to-do list app where I can add tasks, mark them done, and swipe to delete”
“Build a recipe tracker where I can save recipes with photos and search by ingredient”
“Make a habit tracker with streaks and daily reminders”

Start simple. You can always add more features later by chatting with the AI.

Step 3: Generate and Test

1. Press Generate — Claude Code builds your app in real time
2. Test it in the built-in preview (or scan the QR code on your phone)
3. Tell the AI what to change: “Make the header blue” or “Add a settings page”

Tips for Better Results

• Go one feature at a time — build the core, test it, then add more
• Be specific when it matters — “a Duolingo-style progress bar” beats “a progress bar”
• Use the Pinch to Build menu to quickly customize colors, layouts, and components
• Attach screenshots or mockups if you have a specific design in mind
