# Phoenix.vu > Phoenix.vu is an AI coding agent built directly into Xcode for Apple developers. It turns plain-English requests into Swift and SwiftUI code, runs the Xcode build, automatically fixes build errors in an iterative loop, and presents a reviewable diff before any change is applied. Source code stays local on the developer's Mac — only the minimal context required for inference is sent out, and it is not retained by Phoenix.vu's providers afterward. Phoenix.vu is priced pay-as-you-go: credits are purchased from $10 (100 credits per dollar), never expire, and there is no subscription. New accounts get 500 free credits. It requires macOS 26.0 or later. It is built for indie iOS developers and small iOS teams who want an Xcode-native AI coding agent without sending their codebase to a general-purpose cloud tool. ## Product - [Homepage](https://www.phoenix.vu/): What Phoenix.vu is, how it works, and its core capabilities. - [Capabilities](https://www.phoenix.vu/capabilities): Full feature breakdown — autonomous agent loop, side-by-side Xcode integration, human-in-the-loop diffs, project-aware memory, layered security, and Turbo/Expert performance modes. - [Pricing](https://www.phoenix.vu/pricing): Pay-as-you-go credit pricing, refund policy, and payment details. - [Guide](https://www.phoenix.vu/guide): Step-by-step setup — create an account, add credits, install on macOS, and use Phoenix.vu inside Xcode. ## Comparisons - [Cursor for Xcode](https://www.phoenix.vu/blog/cursor-for-xcode): How Phoenix.vu compares to Cursor for Swift and Xcode development. - [Alex Sidebar Alternative](https://www.phoenix.vu/blog/alex-sidebar-alternative): How Phoenix.vu compares to Alex Sidebar as an Xcode AI coding agent. ## Company - [Contact](https://www.phoenix.vu/contact-us): Get in touch with the Phoenix.vu team. - [Privacy Policy](https://www.phoenix.vu/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.phoenix.vu/terms-of-service) - [Refund Policy](https://www.phoenix.vu/refund-policy) ## Optional - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/phoenixcodevu) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/i---boson-innovations) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@iboson)
