Levels builds Nomads iOS app via Claude Code
Encouraged to build a Nomads iOS app, Pieter Levels (@levelsio) avoided local development by renting a MacinCloud instance recommended by Claude. He handed the login credentials directly to Claude Code running on his VPS to manage the iOS development remotely.
This workflow demonstrates how AI agents are increasingly being used to operate remote environments rather than just generating code locally.
- –Handing over remote desktop credentials to an AI to build an app is a highly autonomous and novel approach to cross-platform development.
- –It provides a creative, cloud-native solution for developers who want to build iOS apps without using local Apple hardware.
- –The process highlights the growing capability of AI tools like Claude Code to navigate and orchestrate complex infrastructure setups.
