This guide walks you through your first steps with Michelangelo: Vibe Coding on iPhone.

​
Requirements

  • An iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
  • An active internet connection.
  • A free Michelangelo account.

​
1. Download the App

Get Michelangelo: Vibe Coding from the App Store.

Download Michelangelo App

Get started with Michelangelo directly on your iPhone.

​
2. Sign In

Open the app and sign in using one of the available methods:
  • Email OTP — enter your email, receive a 6-digit code, and validate it.
  • Apple Sign In — use your Apple ID.
  • Google — use your Google account.
  • GitHub — use your GitHub account.
See the Sign In page for more details.

​
3. Create Your First Project

After signing in, you land on the home screen. To create a new app:
  1. Tap the prompt input.
  2. Describe the app you want to build.
  3. Optionally attach up to 2 images for reference.
  4. Submit the prompt.
Michelangelo opens the editor, generates the code, and shows you a live preview as soon as the files are ready.
Keep your first prompt focused on one or two screens. You can always iterate later.

​
4. Preview and Iterate

Once the app is generated:
  • Use the inline sandbox to interact with the app.
  • Send follow-up prompts to add features, change the UI, or fix behavior.
  • Michelangelo automatically retries sandbox errors during a session.

​
5. Share or Export

When you are happy with the result:
  • Open App Settings → Share to share a public preview link.
  • Toggle Private App if you want to keep the project out of Explore.
  • Connect GitHub from App Settings → Tools → GitHub to push the source code to your own repository.
