WrapFast is a comprehensive SwiftUI boilerplate designed to accelerate the development of iOS applications, particularly AI wrappers. It addresses the common challenge faced by indie hackers and developers: the significant time and effort spent on repetitive boilerplate code for essential app functionalities. By providing a robust foundation, WrapFast enables users to launch more apps faster and focus on their unique product ideas.
The boilerplate comes packed with a wide array of pre-built features, eliminating the need to code them from scratch. Key functionalities include a complete Authentication Flow for user management, In-App Purchases & Paywalls for monetization, and a flexible User Onboarding process. For data management, it integrates with Firestore Cloud Database and offers Firebase Analytics & Tracking Events to monitor app performance and user engagement.
A standout feature is its deep integration with Artificial Intelligence. WrapFast includes a Node.js Express backend specifically designed to secure OpenAI and Anthropic Claude API Keys, preventing unauthorized access and potential financial losses. This backend provides endpoints for various AI capabilities, including GPT Image Generation (DALL·E, gpt-image-1), Vision API for image analysis (e.g., calorie counters), and Messages API for conversational AI with ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The boilerplate also supports AI Proxy integration for secure API key handling without a full backend setup.
Beyond core features, WrapFast offers extensive UI components, support for 12 languages, Dark Mode, custom fonts, and colors, ensuring a polished user experience. It's built with the MVVM design pattern and targets iOS 16.4+. The project is also Cursor Compatible, allowing developers to leverage AI-powered coding assistance.
To ensure a smooth development journey, WrapFast provides detailed documentation and step-by-step tutorials, guiding users through setup, authentication, In-App Purchases, and even tips to avoid App Store rejections. Users gain Lifetime Updates and access to a private Discord community for support, collaboration, and sharing their development journey.
Created by indie iOS developer Juanjo Valiño, WrapFast is proven to significantly reduce development time. Juanjo himself launched an app in 2 days and built 7 apps in 7 days on live stream using the boilerplate. With over 34 apps already published using WrapFast, it empowers both experienced developers and beginners with basic programming knowledge to quickly bring their iOS app ideas to life and potentially achieve profitability.
