Convert iOS App to Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Port your iOS/iPadOS app to desktop platforms while preserving all native interactions. UniversalForge translates SwiftUI to desktop UI, maps touch gestures to mouse/keyboard, and adds native desktop features like system tray, menus, and multi-window support.

Mac-first, Windows & Linux

macOS output is preferred for iOS apps (native SwiftUI on Mac), with Windows and Linux via a shared UI layer.

Trackpad Gestures Preserved

Multi-touch trackpad gestures, swipe navigation, and force touch are preserved on macOS and mapped to equivalent interactions on Windows/Linux.

Keyboard Shortcuts

All touch interactions get automatic keyboard shortcut equivalents — fully customizable by end users.

Window Management

Split view, multiple windows, tabs, and full-screen modes with proper window state persistence.

How It Works

1

Upload your IPA or provide an App Store link. For macOS output, UniversalForge generates a SwiftUI Mac app using Mac Catalyst or AppKit.

2

For Windows/Linux, the iOS logic is transpiled to a cross-platform framework (Tauri or Neutralinojs) with platform-native UI components.

3

iOS-specific APIs (HealthKit, ARKit, CoreML) are identified and either replaced with desktop equivalents or flagged for manual implementation.

4

Download platform-specific installers for your target desktop OS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my iOS app run natively on Mac?
Yes, UniversalForge supports Mac Catalyst output for a native Mac experience, or you can target Windows/Linux for broader reach.
What about iPad multitasking features?
iPad Split View and Slide Over are translated to desktop window management — side-by-side windows, tabbed interfaces, and proper window states.
