The AI Coding Editor That Got Me Into The App Store

Build and ship your mobile app with me: 👉 https://kealy.studio I built a mobile app entirely with AI and it's in the App Store right now. In this video I show you the AI coding tools I used and why I stopped using cloud-based app builders like Lovable, Rork, and Base44. Cloud platforms are great for version one — you type a prompt, you get an app. But the loop that follows is brutal: every fix breaks something else, you burn through credits, and you can't debug anything. And that's before you even think about native mobile features or App Store deployment. The alternative is running a local AI coding editor on your own machine. I walk through three options — Cursor, Antigravity, and VS Code with Claude Code — building the same real app across all three so you can see how they compare.
