Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You say what you want in plain words, and Lamp writes the code, runs it and changes it as you ask.
Is it free?
Lamp is free. Building uses an AI: your Claude or ChatGPT subscription, an OpenRouter key (you pay OpenRouter for what you use), or a model running on your Mac.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Where does my stuff go?
The apps you make and what's in them stay on your Mac. What you ask for goes to the AI you picked, and Lamp asks you before it reaches files outside an app's own folder.
Is it open source?
Yes, under the MIT license. The source, issues and releases are on GitHub, with a guide for anyone who'd like to help.

New in 0.35.0
- Share's main button is New Release now, with Copy as a small button beside the link. Once you've released, the window's main button is View, which opens the link's page.
- Release Update puts an app on GitHub the first time too, and after that updates GitHub in the same press as the link.
- Merged someone's changes into your app on GitHub? Bring In Changes brings them into your app before you release again, keeping your own.
- The GitHub repositories Lamp makes are much smaller: they no longer carry a copy of the app file.
