How AI is used
Glowbom is a sketch-to-software platform designed to convert hand-drawn UI designs into native application code. It supports the creation of apps for iOS, Android, and the web by leveraging AI models from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Google AI.
The tool supports various technologies, including React, TypeScript, Next.js, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and SwiftUI. Users may prototype in a browser and use Glowby OSS, an open-source local builder, to refine the code on their own machine. There is also an early-access desktop application for macOS users.
Buyers should confirm that while the tool generates code, a local build environment is required for production-ready development via the Glowby OSS workflow.
Key Features
Hand-drawn sketch input
Supports uploading or creating drawings of app interfaces to be used as the basis for code generation.
Multi-platform code generation
Generates code for native iOS (SwiftUI), Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose), and web (React/TypeScript/Next.js) applications.
Glowby OSS Local Builder
A free, open-source tool that runs on a user's computer to help make generated code production-ready.
AI Model Integration
Uses models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Google AI to interpret sketches and write code.
Glowbom Desktop
A native macOS application in early access for managing the sketch-to-software workflow.
Use Cases
Rapid Prototyping
Converting hand-drawn UI sketches into functional web or mobile prototypes for initial testing.
Cross-Platform Development
Generating a base of native code for both iOS and Android from a single design concept.
Initial Code Scaffolding
Supporting the early stages of app development by creating the initial UI structure via AI.
