🌰 Acornix

Create apps and control your phone just by asking.

Vibe coding in your pocket. Describe an app, a game or a tool, and watch the AI write it live. Seconds later it runs full screen on your phone, saves its own data and can sit on your home screen like any other app. Or just ask the assistant to do things for you.

What is Acornix?

Acornix turns your phone into a place where software gets made. You bring an API key from your favourite AI (Claude, GPT, Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible model), and Acornix does the rest:

• Creates apps and games from a sentence, your voice or a photo, and lets you keep improving them by asking.
• Runs them like real apps: full screen, offline, on your home screen, each with its own private database.
• Acts as an assistant that can open apps, search YouTube, set alarms, blink the flashlight in Morse, read and change your apps' data and, if you allow it, tap and type inside other apps for you.

No terminal, no server, no account. Everything you create lives on your phone.

Acornix started as a Python tool for Termux. Version 2.0 is a full native Android app that does everything the old one did and much more. Looking for the Termux version?

✨ What you can do

🛠️ Create apps by describing them

Type what you want, dictate it 🎙️ or attach a reference photo 📎 ("make an app like this"). Pick a type (game, utility, music…) or tap one of the ideas, and Acornix writes a complete, mobile-first web app live in front of you.

When it's done you get an interactive preview, an Open button, an Add to home screen button and a suggested next improvement. Apply the suggestion or ask for your own changes ("add sound effects", "make the buttons bigger", "add a dark mode"). Every change is saved as a new version.

🧬 Functionalities: apps that use your phone

Functionalities are apps that talk to your device through a built-in JavaScript bridge, window.Acornix. They can vibrate, switch the flashlight on, speak out loud, read the battery, send notifications, share, copy, open other apps and even ask the AI from inside the app. Some examples: a big SOS button, a battery dashboard, a pocket translator that speaks, a Pomodoro timer that vibrates.

🤖 An assistant that gets things done

One chat for everything. Ask in your own words and the assistant picks the right tools, showing every step it takes:

• "Create a piano and open it"
• "Turn on the flashlight in SOS" · "Set an alarm at 7:30" · "Start a 10 minute timer"
• "Search Nirvana videos on YouTube" · "Open Maps and find a pharmacy"
• "Add bread to my shopping list" · "What's my best score in Bowling?"
• "How much battery do I have?"

Total control (optional). Turn on the Acornix total control accessibility service and the assistant can also see the screen and tap, type and scroll inside other apps, for example "open Settings and turn on dark mode". It only acts while a task you asked for is running. It asks before sending, paying, calling or deleting anything, never sees password fields, and you can stop it at any time from the notification.

📱 Your apps, like real apps

All your creations live in My Apps, a launcher with live thumbnails, search and filters. Tap to open full screen; long-press for more:

• Improve with AI or edit the code by hand.
• Versions: every creation, improvement or edit is kept, and you can restore any of them.
• Add to home screen: a real icon that opens the app in its own window, like an installed app.
• Data: see, export or clear what the app saved.
• Share it as a ZIP, with or without your data, or rename and delete it.

🗄️ A private database for every app

Every app gets its own fast SQLite database (Acornix.db), so a to-do list keeps its tasks and a game keeps its saves and high scores. The data:

• survives improvements, because the AI is told which collections and fields already exist;
• can be read and changed by the assistant ("add eggs to my to-do list");
• can travel inside the app's ZIP;
• is included in backups.

Each app runs on its own isolated origin, so apps never see each other's data.

☁️ Backups and sharing

• Full backup: one ZIP with all your apps, their versions, data and files. Save it to Google Drive or anywhere else from the system picker, and restore it on any phone.
• Android backup: your apps and data are also included in your Google account backup.
• Import ZIPs shared by friends, including apps made with the original Termux version of acornix.

📋 Manual studio: no API key needed

Don't have an API key? Copy a ready-made prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini on the web, then paste the answer back. Acornix checks the code, warns you if something is missing and installs the app.

🔔 Always up to date

Acornix checks GitHub for new versions. When one comes out you'll see what's new and can update with one tap, right from the app.

And more

Phone status (battery, memory, storage), a photo and video gallery grouped by month, Material You colors with light and dark themes, and an interface in English and Spanish. Generated apps follow your phone's language too.

🎮 Apps included

Acornix comes with eight example apps, rebuilt for 2.0. They all work offline, adapt to any screen in portrait or landscape, and save their data with Acornix.db.

📲 Install

1. Download acornix.apk from the latest release on your phone.
2. Open it. If Android asks, allow your browser or file manager to install apps, then tap Install. Google Play Protect may warn you because the app doesn't come from the Play Store; tap More details › Install anyway.
3. Open Acornix and follow the three-step welcome: choose your AI provider, paste your API key and tap Test connection.

Requirements: Android 8.0 or newer, and an API key from one of these providers:

Tap ▾ next to Model in Settings to load the models available to your account.

Updating: Acornix tells you when there's a new version. Tap Update and Android installs it over the current one, keeping all your apps and data. The first time, Android will ask you to allow Acornix to install apps.

Total control (optional): Android Settings › Accessibility › Acornix total control › On. You can als
