Custom Phone Apps for Film & TV, Built by Prompt
Describe any app the scene needs and PhoneGuy builds it: a fake bank, dating or alarm app from scratch, or a full copy of Messages, Maps, GPS or FaceTime that you restyle by chat.
Two ways to start
From scratch
Write what the app should be, for example "a fake bank app where the balance drops on cue". The AI chat draws the app, adds its settings and data, links actions to hotkeys and saves it in the beat.
Based on a core app
Pick Messages, Maps, GPS, FaceTime or another built-in app. You get a full copy with every feature, so the route, contacts, messages and controls keep working. Then change the look and add controls by chat. The original beat is never touched.
Example: a restyled Messages app
Prompt: "Based on Messages: green background, square bubbles, a typewriter font and a switch to turn it on and off."
- Copying Messages app
- Adding background colour
- Squaring bubbles
- Changing font
- Adding switch + hotkey
- Saved offline
The beat now has settings for background, bubble colours, corners and font, plus an on/off switch on a hotkey, so the look can change during a take.
Ready for the set
- Works offline once saved on the phone
- Hotkeys and the on-phone menu, the same as every other beat
- iPhone and NDOS01 (Android) looks
- Save as a new app and reuse it in other projects
- Uses AI credits from your plan
Questions
Does it need clearance?
No. Custom apps are fictional, with no real brand names or logos unless you add them.
Can I change it later?
Yes, keep chatting in the beat. Only what you ask for changes.
