# SwipeShip

Tinder for Vibecoding

## What It Is

Tinder, but for the decisions your AI agent keeps getting wrong. SwipeShip pairs your iPhone to a live Codex session and turns product, design, and implementation calls into swipeable cards. Should this stay local-first? Plugin or slash command? Swipe right to approve, left to reject. The answer feeds directly back into the agent. Built in SwiftUI with a local Node.js bridge and MCP server, runs entirely on your machine. I dogfooded it while building it: every architecture decision in this repo went through a SwipeShip card first. Free and open source.

## More Context

SwipeShip is for the decisions where an AI coding agent is technically capable but taste-blind. Some choices are not right or wrong in code. They are product calls.

The setup pairs an iPhone to a local Codex session through a Node bridge and MCP server. When the agent hits a decision, it sends a structured request to the phone. You swipe yes or no, optionally add a comment, and the answer comes back as structured JSON the agent can use.

The first serious test was using SwipeShip to build SwipeShip. Codex hit an architecture question, the card appeared on my phone, I swiped, and the project kept moving. It felt silly for about two seconds. Then it felt obvious.
