One-time purchaseNo subscriptionmacOS 26 and Xcode

Runway’s real windows, rebuilt for this page. Sample projects shown.

Features

Everything between “done” and running.

Your agent wrote the code. Runway gets it onto a screen and tells you what broke.

Every project, found

Spotlight finds every Xcode project and workspace on your Mac. Type to filter, ↑↓ to choose, Return to build and run.

Worktrees included

Projects your agents checked out in git worktrees get a branch badge. Pick which checkout to run.

Apps started anywhere

Debug builds launched from Xcode, Finder or your agent's own xcodebuild show up as running, with their Logger output. Stop them, or press play to take over, like ⌘R in Xcode.

Simulator, iPhone or this Mac

Choose where iOS apps run: a simulator or a plugged-in iPhone. Mac apps run right here.

Issues, build log, console

One window per project, like Xcode's issue navigator, build report and debug console in one place. Double-click an issue to open Xcode at that line.

Test results

⌘U runs the scheme's tests. Passed, failed and skipped tests show up as they finish, with each failure's message and the result bundle one click away.

Copy for Agent

One click copies what your agent needs: the errors if the build failed, otherwise the log or console you're looking at. The menu adds warnings, the full build log and the log file's path.

Right-click for the rest

Give a project its own scheme, destination or worktree. Open it in Xcode, Terminal or Finder, copy its path, or hide it from the list.

Shortcuts and links

⌘R, ⌘B, ⌘U and ⌘. work like in Xcode, ⌘L shows the logs and ⌘O opens Xcode. Scripts can build, test and stop with runway:// links.

How it works

Open, pick, play.
Xcode stays closed.

Runway reads your projects and schemes as they are. There’s nothing to set up.

  3. 03Press play or ReturnIt builds, installs, launches and streams the logs.

Runway drives xcodebuild, simctl, devicectl and lldb, so Xcode only needs to be installed.

For agents

Let your agent press play.

Agents write Swift all day but can’t click Run in Xcode. Runway gives them 46 tools to build, run, test, look at the screen, tap through the app and read the console.

Their builds show up live in Runway, marked with sparkles, and you can stop them there.

Claude Code

Connect registers Runway’s MCP server for every project, in one click.

Codex

Connect adds Runway to config.toml with a 15-minute tool timeout, so long builds finish.

Cursor

Connect adds Runway to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ready in the next chat.

Claude Desktop

Connect adds Runway to Claude Desktop’s config, no terminal needed.

46 MCP tools

Covers what Xcode’s own MCP server offers, without Xcode having to be open.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

What do I need?
macOS 26 or later and Xcode installed. Runway drives xcodebuild, simctl, devicectl and lldb, so Xcode itself doesn’t have to be open.
Does it run Mac apps and real iPhones?
Yes. iOS apps run on the simulator or plugged-in iPhone you pick; Mac apps run on this Mac. Right-click a project to give it its own destination or scheme.
How do worktrees work?
When a project has more than one git checkout, Runway shows a branch badge. Pick which worktree to run from it, or point a runway:// link at a path inside that worktree.
Does Runway see apps I start from Xcode?
Yes. Debug builds launched from Xcode, Finder, open or an agent’s own xcodebuild and simctl show up as running, marked “started outside Runway”. Stop quits them; Run quits them and launches Runway’s own build. Their console shows what the app logs with Logger or os_log. print() only reaches Runway when Runway started the app.
Which agents can use it?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Claude Desktop. Runway → Settings → Agents → Connect registers Runway’s MCP server with each one. Agent builds appear live in Runway.
What do I get for €39.99?
Everything: the project list, Build & Run, the logs window, Copy for Agent, runway:// links and all 46 MCP tools for your agents. There are no tiers and no in-app purchases.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay €39.99 once and keep Runway 1, including every 1.x update. If we release Runway 2, it will be a separate, optional purchase, and Runway 1 keeps working.
Do I need an account or a license key?
No. Checkout is handled by Stripe, which takes care of VAT and receipts, and you go straight to your download page. Runway has no analytics and no tracking, and building and running work offline.
How do I get updates?
Runway checks once a day whether there’s a newer version (you can turn that off in Settings) and tells you. The download link from your purchase always serves the latest Runway 1. Lost it? We’ll email it to you again from the download page.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If Runway isn’t for you, write to support@happyface.studio within 30 days of buying and you get your money back, no questions asked.
Can agents tap through my app?
Yes. describe_ui, ui_tap, ui_type and ui_swipe use the free AXe tool, which Settings → Agents installs with Homebrew. With Xcode 27, taps and typing reach simulators on iOS 26 and later.

Still have questions? Write to support@happyface.studio.
