Copy-paste development
A chatbot writes Swift, you paste it into Xcode, it doesn't compile, you paste the error back. That's not a workflow — that's a loop you're stuck in.
✗ chat assistants: can't build, can't test, can't see the simulator
Parsaa has. It reads your open project, writes the Swift, and proves the feature works — asking before every change.

A chatbot writes Swift, you paste it into Xcode, it doesn't compile, you paste the error back. That's not a workflow — that's a loop you're stuck in.
✗ chat assistants: can't build, can't test, can't see the simulator
Forked VS Code editors want you to leave Xcode behind. They can't run XCTest properly, boot the simulator, or verify the app actually works.
✗ forked editors: build only — no simulator, no test loop
Every LLM stopped learning months ago. It still writes NavigationView and .foregroundColor — APIs Apple retired releases ago.
✗ both: deprecated APIs shipped to your project
Prompt a chatbot, paste the Swift into Xcode, compile, paste the error back. The tool waits while you do the running.
Describe the task, approve the plan and the diff. The agent writes, builds, tests, and proves — you judge the result.

One real task, start to finish — 2 minutes 10 seconds.
Plain words, any language: "Add pull-to-refresh to the feed screen and write a test for it."
The plan arrives as a card. Approve, reject, or redline it. The agent waits.
Every edit is an approval card with a diff. Nothing lands without you.
A test fails? It reads the failure, patches the code, runs again. Done means passing.
Simulator booted, app launched, screenshot in the chat. You see it working before you switch windows.
Real sessions on real Xcode projects. No cuts, no edits.
your free 150 credits cover it end to end
Most AI coding tools were built for VS Code and web stacks. Apple development runs through Xcode, xcodebuild, and the simulator.

Deep Xcode MCP integration requires Xcode 26.3+ · build, test, and run work with Xcode 16+
Every LLM has a training cutoff. Orchard reads Apple's live documentation as Parsaa writes, so deprecated APIs get caught and replaced before they reach your project. New SDK at WWDC? Day one.
Parsaa Cloud, your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / OpenRouter keys, or fully local with Ollama and LM Studio.
"Where do we handle login errors?" returns the right symbols. Indexed locally.
Fan work out in parallel; an evaluator loops until tests genuinely pass.
On-device transcription with Apple's Speech framework. Your voice never leaves the Mac.
Saves what it learns, with your approval, recalls it in every chat.
Reads the AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf rules you already wrote.
MCP servers, 39 toggleable built-in tools, reusable Skills.
@tester writes your unit tests, @documenter your doc comments, /modernize rewrites deprecated Apple APIs.
Not a cross-platform port — a Mac app in Swift that speaks the platform it lives on.
From the chat window to the diff view, all of it is Swift and SwiftUI. No Electron. No web views.
A real Mac interface: system conventions, dark mode, and accessibility built in. It behaves the way Mac apps should.
Voice transcribes on your Mac with Apple's Speech framework. Want full privacy? Ollama or LM Studio run the whole agent loop offline.
Universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel on macOS 26+. New SDK at WWDC? Orchard grounds every answer in Apple's live documentation — day one.
No fork, no switch — Parsaa drives the Xcode you already run. Deep MCP integration on 26.3+; build, test, and run on any supported version.

It helps, but it is not required to get value. You describe the outcome in your own words; Parsaa writes the Swift, explains what it is doing, and shows every change as a diff before it lands. Experienced developers get the same loop with full control over conventions and architecture.
Those tools live in a code editor and were built for web stacks. Parsaa is a Mac app built around Xcode: it reads your open project, drives xcodebuild and the simulator, runs your tests, and verifies its own work on real builds. You keep Xcode exactly as it is.
It runs the whole loop. Parsaa compiles your app, runs your tests (down to a single test), boots the simulator, installs and launches the build, reads the logs, and screenshots the running UI right back into the chat. Paste a SwiftUI view and it launches a live preview on the spot. When a test fails, it fixes the code and runs again — done means passing.
Yes. Start with zero-setup Parsaa Cloud, bring your own keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter’s 400+ models), or run fully local with Ollama or LM Studio. With your own keys, requests go provider-direct; with local models the full agent loop runs with no internet at all. You can switch models per conversation.
No. Every edit arrives as an approval card with a diff. You approve, reject, or request changes, and the agent waits. Plans work the same way: Parsaa proposes the steps before touching anything.
Only if you choose a cloud model. With your own API keys, requests go provider-direct and never touch Parsaa servers. With local models (Ollama, LM Studio) or Apple on-device, nothing leaves your Mac. Parsaa never stores or trains on your code.
A credit is the unit Parsaa uses to meter hosted model usage, about 2¢ of work. One credit covers about one typical agent message; heavier tasks consume more. Your remaining balance and per-message cost are always visible in the app, and you start with 150 free.
Nothing breaks. Your project and history stay put; you just can’t run new hosted-model tasks until you pick a plan, connect your own API keys, or point Parsaa at a local model. No card is ever charged automatically.
Parsaa works with Xcode 16 and later on macOS 26+, including Xcode 27. It tracks every Apple release and is already updated for WWDC26 APIs. Deep integration with Xcode’s built-in MCP server requires Xcode 26.3 or later, but building, testing, and running work with any supported version.
Yes, with local models. Point Parsaa at Ollama or LM Studio and the full agent loop (chat, edits, builds, tests) runs without an internet connection.
The 150 free credits cover your first task end to end — described, planned, approved, built, tested, proven. No card. If Parsaa isn’t for you, you’ve lost nothing and gained a diff.
