The facts, the clips and the screenshots — use any of it.

Snuggery is an iPhone app for the small apps people build by asking an AI. Ask for a training log, a recipe box or a dashboard and you get a folder of HTML with nowhere to run it on a phone; Snuggery is where it lives. Import the ZIP, tap it, it runs — offline, in a sandbox that cannot reach the network, beside the user's PDFs, notes and spreadsheets. Apps read the data files stored next to them, which the user can edit in place. Version 1.1 adds dashboards that refresh themselves through Shortcuts, and Ask: a question about a file, a folder or a mini-app's data, answered on the phone by Apple's on-device model. Made by one developer in Norway. One purchase after a free week.

The facts

Platform: iPhone, iOS 18 and later. Ask needs a phone with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26).
Price: one purchase after a complete 7-day trial. No subscription, no account. When the trial ends only adding new content is gated; everything already imported keeps working and can always be exported.
What it does not do: generate apps. Its Create tab writes a prompt for the user's own AI; the ZIP that comes back is what gets imported. The app contacts no AI service.
Privacy: no account, no analytics, no third-party frameworks; the app makes no network requests of its own. Mini-apps are blocked from the network by a WebKit content rule list, a Content-Security-Policy header and the navigation policy, independently, and there is no JavaScript-to-native bridge. The review note invites Apple to review it in Airplane Mode; you can too. The privacy policy is short enough to read in a minute.
App Review: approved by App Review; the review note makes the guideline 4.7 (HTML5 mini apps) case explicitly — the app distributes nothing; every mini-app is a file the user imported, the way a document viewer holds documents.
Live dashboards: a GitHub Action (or any scheduler) writes a small JSON file; a Shortcut on the phone copies it into the app through an App Intent, on the user's schedule. The app also has a Rebuild Data Now button that runs that shortcut. Snuggery never fetches anything itself. The developer's own Garmin dashboard adds a third job: a daily scheduled Claude Code session reads the pulled data and writes the assessment, a note on each session and the week's plan (the write-up).
The examples: nineteen apps in an open template repository, all built by asking an AI — a 3D mountain from Kartverket's open terrain, the Norne oil-field reservoir model, two atlases of the North Sea's and the world's oil and gas, the galaxy from JPL and Gaia data, a human body in 1,752 parts, a Garmin dashboard, an original kart racer. They run in a browser too.
Built with: Apple frameworks only — SwiftUI, SwiftData, WebKit, StoreKit 2, App Intents and, for Ask, Foundation Models; no third-party code. Mini-apps are served over a custom URL scheme whose handler is a static file server for one package directory, each app with its own origin; ZIP import inspects every entry before extracting and is bounded by absolute limits, never compression ratios.

The film

One commercial, 50 seconds, silent by design: real footage of the app, no music. Two cuts of the same film — landscape for a page or a slide, vertical for a feed. Each link downloads it.

snuggery-vertical.mp4 — vertical, 1080×1920, 50 s, 9.3 MB

Clips

Each link downloads the clip as shown: the plain recording, vertical, 720×1566, H.264, no sound, no frame. Recorded by the developer on their own iPhone, and edited only for length, with a ring at each tap and a label on what the clip shows. The words to post with each are in its caption below.

The examples, in motion

All nineteen examples, one take each, drawn frame by frame by the apps' own code at phone size, with a ring at each touch. Real time, nothing sped up, 720×1564, H.264, no sound. Each was checked by two independent reviews against its frames and for flashing (at most two flashes in any second). Snug Kart's take has one cut, from the first lap to the finish.
