A Replit alternative that builds on your machine, under your accounts
Replit is a full cloud development environment with an AI agent and hosting built in. If you'd rather have several models plan your app, build on your own machine and sign it under your own Apple and Google accounts, Quantlys is a different approach worth comparing.
Why people look for a Replit alternative
- Hard-to-predict agent costs. Replit's effort-based pricing charges for time and compute (Replit blog), and some developers pushed back on it (InfoWorld).
- They want local-first builds, where code and keys stay on their machine.
- They want native iOS output with their own signing.
Where Quantlys fits
- Many models, one defended plan. Each model drafts on its own, the models peer-rank each other's drafts, and an Arbiter merges the best into one plan and records why.
- Web, iOS, Android and voice agents from one workflow, with real native Swift on iOS, proven through TestFlight. Android builds are signed with your own keystore, available to every user today.
- Your accounts, your keys. Built in your local Xcode, signed by your Apple team and your own Android keystore.
- Store blockers caught early. Ten App Store and six Google Play blockers are checked on your machine before upload.
- Tests, not vibes. Deterministic QA runs offline with model calls stubbed, and every handoff and decision is logged.
- Compose your own crew. Start with PM, architect, developer and QA agents, or define your own roles, tools and standards.
Requirements: shipping to iOS needs macOS, Xcode and a paid Apple Developer account. Android needs your own keystore and a Play Developer account.
