Submitting for mod review: Vibe — an open-source Mac player + CLI that turns AI-built apps into single .vibeapp files. Recipients double-click; no repo clone, Docker, Node, or terminal. Apps run isolated in a Linux VM. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. dotvibe.app
AI can now build the app. The bottleneck is handing someone a thing they can actually run.
Vibe turns an AI-built app into one shareable .vibeapp file: double-click on Mac, no repo clone, no terminal, no dev stack.
For prototypes, demos, and internal tools that need to leave your laptop.

AI made it much easier to build a working app.
The next bottleneck is sharing it.
A generated prototype still often needs a repo, env setup, terminals, package installs, ports, and “it works on my machine” debugging before anyone else can try it.
AI app builders are getting good at the first 80%: a working local prototype.
The last mile is different: package it, preserve state, sign it, and let someone open it without npm, Docker, env vars, or a README.
That’s what Vibe is for: AI-built apps as shareable .vibeapp files.
I’m building Vibe: a Mac tool for sharing vibe-coded apps.
It turns a working app into a signed .vibeapp file someone else can open locally, without cloning a repo or deploying.

What’s hardest when sharing an AI-built app?
AI can build a prototype fast. The hard part is getting it into someone else’s hands without saying “clone this repo, install these tools, set env vars, run three terminals.”

you vibe-coded an app. now you want to send it to someone.
not deploy it.
not explain Docker.
not walk them through npm install.
Vibe turns it into one .vibeapp file they can open on a Mac.
