Show HN: FlowDeck – Stop switching to Xcode just to hit Build
You work from the terminal now. Your editor has better AI. But Xcode still breaks your flow.
I got tired of switching to Xcode 15+ times an hour while building in Cursor. So I built FlowDeck.
What it does:
Native Swift CLI with interactive mode: B builds, R runs, K cleans, L streams logs
JSON output for CI/CD and AI agents — xcodebuild output is chaos, this isn't
Simulator and device management for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS
Free VS Code/Cursor extension with LLDB debugging
Technical details:
- Native Swift, not a Node.js wrapper
- 100x faster scheme discovery than xcodebuild -list
- One abstraction over xcodebuild, simctl, devicectl, xcrun
- Works with any .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace
Try it:
curl -sSL https://flowdeck.studio/install.sh https://flowdeck.studio/install.sh | sh
cd [YOUR_XCODE_PROJECT_DIR]
flowdeck -i
7-day free trial, no credit card. $29/year after. Extension is free forever.
Happy to answer questions about the implementation or the Apple tooling pain that led to this.
