Rork
Describe your mobile app in plain English and ship it to the App Store.
About
Rork is an AI mobile app builder that turns natural-language prompts into functional iOS and Android apps. You describe what you want, answer a few clarifying questions about layout and design, and it generates a live preview you can iterate on in chat, with output built on Swift, React Native, and Expo.
The company launched publicly in February 2025 and raised a $15M seed round led by Left Lane Capital in April 2026, and it says its apps can be submitted directly to the App Store and Google Play. Reviewers praise the design quality and fast iteration, though pricing details live on a separate pricing page rather than the homepage. Its newer Rork Max product targets Apple-device development without Xcode, per the company's own announcements.

Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (TIER verified, metrics-v1). Evidence: $15M seed led by Left Lane Capital with Peak XV, True Ventures, Goodwater, and a16z Speedrun, announced April 2026 (Pulse2; VC Access Online); public launch February 2025 (VCA Online); top-2 App Store Developer Tools ranking and #1 RevenueCat referral source are company-reported via PR (VCA Online), not independently audited; hands-on 2026 walkthrough review on unite.ai. Docs corroboration: official site has a pricing page, though an independent teardown (rork-ai.github.io, Sept 2026) notes plan details are absent from the homepage. Strengths: strong investor backing and funding recency; clear traction in the mobile AI dev niche. Docked for: (1) key traction figures are vendor PR claims; (2) pricing transparency is weak; (3) short operating history since 2025. License: proprietary SaaS.
