Requirements

  • macOS 13+ (Ventura or later)
  • Xcode 16+ (for iOS development)

​
Step 1: Download Paperline

Download for macOS

Get the latest version of Paperline for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

​
Step 2: Sign In

Paperline requires authentication. When you first launch:
  1. Click Sign In in the welcome screen
  2. Sign in with your Google account or email
  3. You’ll be redirected back to Paperline automatically

​
Step 3: Start Chatting

Just start typing in the chat. Describe the app you want to build: 
Create a habit tracking app with daily reminders
Paperline will automatically check your environment and guide you through any setup needed.

​
Step 4: Run Paperline Doctor

On your first build, Paperline Doctor checks your development environment:
  1. Xcode — Apple’s development environment
  2. Xcode Tools — Command line tools, Homebrew, xcbeautify
  3. iOS Runtime & Devices — iOS SDK and iPhone simulators
Follow prompts to install any missing components.

​
Step 5: Watch Your App Come to Life

Once your environment is ready, Paperline will:
  • Create a new Xcode project
  • Generate Swift and SwiftUI code
  • Open the iOS Simulator to preview your app

​
Step 6: Iterate and Refine

Continue the conversation to refine your app:
  • “Add a settings screen with dark mode toggle”
  • “Make the buttons rounded with a shadow”
  • “Add swipe-to-delete for habits”
Each change is applied in real-time. Use Checkpoints to go back anytime.
