SwapLab Desktop - Build Android/iOS Locally (No Android Studio required)

SwapLab Desktop is a lightweight (~10MB) GUI for Windows and macOS designed to build Construct 3 projects locally using Docker. It sanitizes, builds, and signs your Android & iOS projects in isolated containers, eliminating the need to configure Java, Gradle, or Environment Variables manually.

🚀 Why SwapLab Desktop?

It is 100% Free & Open Source. There are no hidden fees and no locked features.

• 🚫 NO CLI / NO Config: No need to install Android Studio, JAVA_HOME, or SDKs manually. It works out of the box.
• 🔒 100% Privacy & Control: No Sign-In required. Your source code NEVER leaves your machine. Everything runs on localhost.
• ⚡ Blazing Fast: Uses aggressive caching (Gradle & NPM), so subsequent builds take seconds.
• 🌐 Offline Capable: Once the engine image is downloaded, you can build apps without an internet connection.
• 🛡️ Isolated via Docker Desktop: Builds run safely inside the Docker Desktop app's containers, ensuring your host OS remains clean.

How to use with Construct 3

1. Export your Construct 3 project as Cordova.
2. Open SwapLab Desktop.
3. Drag & Drop your project folder/zip.
4. Click Build. The tool automatically handles the conversion (Cordova to Capacitor).
