Rork

Build your mobile app, publish to App Store in 2 clicks, and start monetizing at https://t.co/OyihjiOtUz

Rork is an AI platform designed to build and launch mobile apps for the App Store using natural language , aimed at solo founders and non-engineers who want to ship to the App Store and Google Play without learning Xcode. The platform turns plain-language prompts into fully functional iOS and Android apps built on Swift, React Native, and Expo, real native apps that can be submitted directly to the App Store and Google Play. The pitch is that you describe the app you want, test it on a phone, and publish, with the underlying code being something you could hand to a real mobile engineer rather than a web wrapper. This launch marks the company's $15M seed round, with the funds earmarked for expanding the product and team. The round was led by Left Lane Capital, with participation from Peak XV, True Ventures, Goodwater, and existing investor a16z Speedrun. The company is positioning itself at the center of a growing shift toward AI-powered software development. Around the raise, the team also expanded its native iOS capabilities through acquisition. Shortly after raising its Seed round, Rork acquired Paperline, a macOS app that builds native Swift applications with AI, founded by senior iOS and full-stack engineers Evgenii Mozharovskii and Maksim Konstantinov. Rork was founded by Daniel Dhawan and Levan Kvirkvelia, who have been shipping mobile apps since long before this round. Dhawan and Kvirkvelia are serial mobile app entrepreneurs who had each bootstrapped three startups before launching the company. Their previous work together includes an AI-driven Next.js site generator and 21st.dev , giving the team a track record in code-generation tooling before turning to native mobile. The latest release, Rork Max, is positioned as a browser-based alternative to Xcode, with support for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro targets covered through the same prompt-driven workflow.
