Use it in the browser

Shipyard is a web app. Open shipyard.software on iPhone, iPad, or desktop Chrome/Safari/Edge. Sign in, build in chat, and preview on every screen size from the builder device toggle (Mobile, iPad, Desktop).

On iPhone and iPad Safari, live sandbox preview is not available — Shipyard builds a phone-friendly snapshot instead so you can still review the app.

Add to Home Screen (today)

On iPhone or iPad: open Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen. Shipyard installs as a standalone icon with the web app manifest.

On Android Chrome: open the menu → Install app or Add to Home screen when prompted.

On desktop Chrome or Edge: use Install Shipyard from the address bar when the install option appears.

App Store and Mac App Store

Native App Store builds for iPhone, iPad, and Mac are in preparation. Landing badges link here until store listings go live — they are not fake download buttons.

The native shell will wrap the same Shipyard web product so your projects, auth, and publish flow stay identical.
