The Problem

Mobile development means constant context-switching: write code on your laptop, build, check your phone, notice a bug, go back to laptop, find the file, make the change, build again... It's exhausting. What if you could just look at your phone and tell it what to fix?

The "Sofa Development" Workflow

👀

1. Spot

See something wrong while using your app

👆

2. Hold

Press the floating action button

🗣️

3. Speak

"Make this button green and round the corners"

✨

4. Done

Code updates, hot-reloads instantly

Key Features

🤖

Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA)

Works with Aider, GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude, or any CLI-based AI coding tool. No vendor lock-in - use whatever agent you're comfortable with.

🎤

Local Speech-to-Text

Whisper runs locally on your laptop - no cloud transcription needed. Your voice stays on your machine.

📸

Rich Visual Context

The AI sees exactly what you see - screenshot, widget tree, current route. It knows where you are in the app and what you're looking at.

⚡

Instant Hot Reload

Changes appear in seconds thanks to Flutter's hot reload. See your fix immediately without rebuilding.

Getting Started 

# New project with SDK pre-integrated

Tech Stack

CLI (Rust)

  • • Axum HTTP server
  • • Tokio async runtime
  • • whisper-rs for transcription
  • • Clap for CLI parsing

SDK (Flutter)

  • • Draggable FAB with states
  • • Audio recording
  • • Screenshot capture
  • • Widget tree inspection

Status: MVP complete and functional. The core "sofa loop" works - voice → transcription → AI edit → hot reload. Still needs documentation, published packages, and polish.
