AI‑Powered iOS App Builders Fuel Surge in Utility Apps

A wave of artificial‑intelligence‑driven platforms now lets anyone create native iOS applications without writing code. The guide highlights eight free AI app builders—including Choicely, OnSpace AI, Appy Pie, and Adalo—that generate real Swift code, allowing rapid prototyping and even App Store publication from a single device.

The same AI tools are reshaping the App Store’s utility‑app category. Developers are wrapping command‑line utilities in simple UI shells, and the low barrier to entry has led to a flood of new utility apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad. While the abundance offers users more choices, analysts note that app supply now far exceeds demand, pressuring prices and suggesting the utility‑app market may contract in the coming months.
