“Tokens was entirely handled by AirBuild. It lets me cover the full workflow—from requirements gathering and UI design to code generation and App Store review—using just my phone. It’s one of the best AI-native development tools I’ve experienced so far.”
— Vincent
What Tokens does
Tokens turns your AI coding usage into a scoreboard. You connect your tokens.ci profile and see how many tokens you use each day across AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Copilot. It has a global leaderboard, a profile with daily tokens, cost, sessions and a year-long contribution graph, breakdowns by model, client and device, Home and Lock Screen widgets, and shareable profile cards.
The latest update, 1.0.4 (November 12, 2026), added a “Yesterday” view to the leaderboard, a calendar menu for All, Today, Yesterday, 7 Days or 30 Days, and a Habits card that shows your busiest weekday and biggest day.
The whole workflow on a phone
Vincent did every step with AirBuild from his phone: gathering requirements, UI design, code generation and App Store review. That matches what AirBuild is built for: you can review work, request changes and keep your app moving from your phone, while the agents build the native app and take it through App Review.
App Review was the part he joked about on X. In October he posted that AirBuild “can even argue with the App Review team automatically” (translated from Chinese). On AirBuild’s side, that means it reads Apple’s feedback and replies through App Store Connect, fixes the issue and resubmits.
How to make an app on your phone
- Describe the app in plain words. You can start with an idea instead of code.
- Review each screen and build on your iPhone, and ask for changes in the chat.
- Test it through TestFlight on the same phone.
- Let AirBuild prepare the listing and submit it, and handle App Review feedback.
- Ship updates the same way: AirBuild handles app updates as well as new submissions.
You still need your own Apple Developer account to publish.
