brx eliminates Xcode crashes, signing errors, and context switching. Used by 500+ developers saving 1.5 hours daily. Stay in your editor, ship faster.
█"The best tools disappear into your workflow. BRX was built on a simple belief: developers should spend their time creating, not fighting their toolchain. Every command, every feature, every decision is designed to get out of your way and let you build what matters."
"BRX saved me 2 hours yesterday. No more Xcode crashes during builds. Worth every penny."
"Finally, a tool that gets signing right. My provisioning nightmare is over. Saved me 2 hours daily."
"My team ships 3x faster now. BRX eliminated our biggest development bottleneck. ROI is insane."
Stay in Cursor/VS Code. No context switching.
Wraps xcodebuild, simctl, xcodegen. No private APIs.

Bottom line: BRX is the only tool that covers the full development loop (build → run → watch → ship) while keeping you in your editor.
Because you're not just building--you're managing devices, code signing, live reload, and deployment. BRX orchestrates the entire workflow so you can focus on your app, not the toolchain. It's the difference between cooking with ingredients vs. having a chef.
No. BRX is a productivity multiplier that turns a 2-hour setup process into a 2-minute command. It handles device selection, code signing, live reload, template management, and error recovery--orchestrating 15+ steps into one workflow.
You're not paying for the tools--you're paying for the time saved. At $39/year, if you build 12 apps annually, you save 24 hours. That's $1.63 per hour saved. Less than a coffee subscription, more productive than a junior developer.
Yes! You get 3 free builds to experience the 10x productivity gain. No credit card required. After 3 builds, you'll see the value and want to continue.
Yearly ($39/year) gives you all features and updates for 12 months. Lifetime ($79 once) gives you perpetual access to all features and updates forever. Both include the same core functionality.
Yes. BRX leverages Apple's official command-line tools that come with Xcode. You need Xcode installed, but you won't need to open the GUI--work entirely from your terminal or editor.
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If BRX doesn't work for you, email us and we'll refund you immediately.
Yes. After your one-time license activation (requires internet), BRX works completely offline. Build and ship from anywhere--airplane, coffee shop, or underground bunker.
When you run brx run, BRX watches your Swift files for changes. Edit and save--BRX automatically rebuilds and relaunches your app in the simulator. No manual rebuilds.
Yes. BRX uses your existing Xcode provisioning profiles and certificates. For development builds, automatic signing works seamlessly. For distribution, BRX handles the signing process during archiving.
Yes. brx ship archives your app, signs it with your distribution certificate, and uploads to TestFlight. You'll need your Apple ID and app-specific password configured.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Xcode 15+, Apple Silicon or Intel Mac. BRX targets iOS 17+ projects. Works with SwiftUI, UIKit, and all standard iOS frameworks.
Xcode is powerful but slow, memory-hungry, and crashes frequently during builds. BRX lets you stay in your code editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.) and builds are faster. Use Xcode for Interface Builder and storyboards; use BRX for everything else.
BRX wraps xcodebuild with smart defaults, automatic project generation, live reload, and better error messages. You could script everything yourself, but BRX saves you weeks of scripting and debugging.
You're probably running commands manually. Use brx build and brx run instead--BRX handles all the complex commands behind the scenes with a clean interface.
