Bitrig
Bitrig is a Mac app for creating, testing, and shipping native Swift apps for Apple platforms with integrated AI-assisted workflows.
What is Bitrig?
Bitrig is a native Mac development app for building Swift apps for Apple platforms with AI-assisted workflows. It is designed for developers and makers who want to describe an app, generate real Swift code, refine features, and move toward distribution from one workspace. On Mac, Bitrig uses the Xcode toolchain and supports app previews, simulator-based testing, and running apps on connected devices. It also includes workflows for working with full Xcode projects, contributing through GitHub, and preparing builds for TestFlight and the App Store. Bitrig is published by Bitrig, Inc. and is aimed at people building iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple-platform apps from a desktop development environment.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Bitrig is a legitimate development tool for creating and shipping Apple-platform apps. For its normal purpose, it may need access to development resources such as local project files, Xcode-related components, connected devices, and online services used for source control or distribution. If you use publishing, repository, or cloud-connected features, review what accounts you connect and keep sensitive project material only where you trust the app and your linked services to handle it.
Recommendation: Keep Bitrig if you use it to build or ship apps for Apple platforms. If you no longer develop with it, you can remove it like other Mac apps, but doing so may also remove convenient access to your local app-building workflow and any app-specific settings stored on your Mac.
