Write an app once. It runs natively on the web, macOS, iOS, and Linux, and an AI agent can build it, run it, see it, and test it on every one of them. One app.contract, the same screen on three hosts, captured by the agent driver. Softwear is a demonstration store you can generate from exact-templates: it shows Alternative Apparel's catalog, is not affiliated with that brand, and takes no real orders or payments. Exact is a cross-platform application runtime. You describe your interface in Contract, a small declarative language, and you write your data logic in TypeScript or Rust. The Contract compiler turns the interface into a compact plan. On the web, that plan becomes one ES module over a 20 KB runtime that drives the real DOM. On macOS, iOS, and Linux, a Rust runner executes the same plan, a Rust layout kernel computes every box with CSS…
