Without AppContext: AI is Blind

Your AI assistant can't see your app, forcing you to describe every visual detail

What you're seeing:

  • • iOS app showing a routing error (red error screen)
  • • Developer asks Claude Code: "Can you see my iOS app?"
  • • Claude responds: "I cannot see your iOS app directly"
  • • Frustrated developer has to manually describe the problem

How It Works

AppContext runs alongside your development environment, capturing your app's visuals, state, and logs in real time and making them available to your AI coding tools.

1

Capture

Stream a live view of your app and runtime logs from your development environment. Context flows automatically to your AI coding assistants.

2

Serve

Publishes context locally through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Works seamlessly with AI editors like Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf. Runs entirely on your machine — private and offline.

3

Assist

Your AI can now "see" your app's actual state. Fixes errors, refines UI, and validates changes in real time. No endless explaining, no guesswork, fewer wasted tokens.

Why it matters: When your AI coding assistant has direct, visual, context. It stops guessing and starts delivering accurate, instant fixes.

AppContext is simple and stays out of your way:
It runs quietly in your menu bar—always ready when you need it
The icon shows your status and provides quick access to start/stop server
Auto-updates keep you on the latest version without any manual work
That's it—download, login once, and let your AI see your apps in real time. Runs 100% offline.
