FlowDeck is a development extension that integrates core iOS and macOS workflows directly into VS Code (and Cursor).

It provides Swift IntelliSense, device/simulator build support, test runners, and logging, offering a unified, streamlined environment for app development. The result is faster iteration, fewer context switches, and a smoother development flow.
