We've got a killer group of judges for Bitrig's WWDC Hackathon on 6/10. It's going to be a ton of fun 🙂

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Bitrig Hacks is one week away! And we're announcing two more amazing judges

@simanerush is a SwiftUI engineer and Swift open source contributor.

@yumaSoerianto is 5x WWDC Swift Student Challenge winner, a Rise Global winner, a coding educator, and an indie developer.

@samhenrigold 😂

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

Is 10x designer a thing?

[Fede Sánchez @fedesanchez0]

To make this video, I made a mini After Effects native app with Bitrig that allows me to work with sequences, transitions all using the power of my Mac. It was really fun to build as I was thinking and making the video and examples!

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

You can now type, click, draw, and speak to Bitrig.

Use whichever interaction mode the situation calls for, and turn the idea in your head into a real app as quickly and faithfully as possible.

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Bitrig now lets you select to edit elements in the App Preview.

Spend less time describing what's on the screen. Just point directly at the parts of your interface you want to change.

@AriX of @OpenAI, previously founder of @skybysoftware.

Ari built Workflow (acquired by Apple) at a hackathon himself!

Sean has helped make iOS development accessible to an entire generation of developers.

I couldn’t be more excited to have him joining Bitrig as we carry that mission forward into the AI era of native iOS development.

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

I've joined @BitrigApp and I'm pumped to work with such an awesome team (which includes the co-creators of SwiftUI at Apple).

AI has changed how we build and I love what Bitrig is cooking up for this new era of native iOS dev with Swift & SwiftUI.

@sabir_huss50540 @BitrigApp Well the betas won’t be released until 6/8, so that’s part of the fun 🙂

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@sabir_huss50540 @BitrigApp Think Pixel Pals—a clever and unexpected (even a little transgressive?) use of system APIs.

Goal for the hackathon is a thought provoking demo using the brand new beta APIs, not necessarily a full production-ready app

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

The Mountain View YC office is a really cool space and it's just down the road from Apple Park.

Come join us for the afternoon, it's going to be a lot of fun 🙂

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Ready for something new? Join the first ever Bitrig Hacks on Wednesday, June 10th. Explore the newly released developer betas and discover what you can make in an afternoon!

Oh and did we mention it's a competition? 👀

One cool thing about App Intents: Xcode extracts intent metadata at compile time, so Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight can discover and display your app’s actions before it’s ever been launched.

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Bitrig can now build App Shortcuts and App Intents.

Make your app’s most important actions and content available in Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight.

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

One thing we learned building SwiftUI: make native technologies more accessible to designers, and they can do incredible things.

[Fede Sánchez @fedesanchez0]

Fun Fact:

For this video I built a Mac app using @BitrigApp that let me create an animated carousel of watchOS examples.

I can control rotation, scale, blur etc, and use the arrow keys to move left and right.

It was easier to build it and record than learning a new tool!

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@corneliusmark @BitrigApp Your code is compiled with a full Xcode toolchain and the simulators are streamed to the iPad. If Xcode supports it you can do it.

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@threereacts @BitrigApp You can import existing Xcode projects via GitHub

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@alemohamad You still need to have Bitrig running on your Mac as the server for Xcode, the Simulators, and the AI agents

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

Swift Playgrounds is genuinely impressive technology.

It’s disappointing it never evolved from a learning environment into a professional app development tool.

Now that we’re no longer at Apple, we’re building the version we always wanted 🙂

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Meet Bitrig Remote: a professional app development environment for iPad.

Connect to Bitrig running on your Mac and build with:

- The full Xcode toolchain
- Streaming Xcode Simulator previews
- Real Xcode projects
- GitHub integration
- Claude Code and Codex

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Time for a change? Codex is now available in Bitrig

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@p4cs_pedro @BitrigApp Right now bringing your own AI subscription requires Bitrig Plus.

We don't need to be the one selling you tokens, but we still think Bitrig is worth paying for.

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

@goodbyesahil iPhone people and Android people... you never know 🤔

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

There are two kinds of people.

Coke people and Pepsi people. Coffee people and tea people. Morning people and night people. And, increasingly, Claude Code people and Codex people.

We’re building Bitrig for all of you 🙂

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Codex is now available in Bitrig!

And you can sign in with your ChatGPT account to use your existing subscription instead of Bitrig credits.

[Kyle Macomber @kylemacomber]

Good day to have launched Codex support in Bitrig 😅

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage.

The credit covers usage of:
- Claude Agent SDK
- claude -p
- Claude Code GitHub Actions
- Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK
