What is Varchive?

Varchive is a curated showcase of apps, websites, and experimental projects built with AI assistance. It spans everything from personal passion projects to enterprise-grade applications, and is itself maintained with help from Cursor and Codex. The archive already features a handful of real-world apps—and now invites you to submit your own.

Who it's for

• AI-powered builders – Developers and creators who use tools like Cursor, Codex, or Claude to accelerate their workflow and ship faster.
• Product enthusiasts – People curious about what’s possible when human creativity meets AI assistance, from daily goal trackers to agentic operating systems.
• Portfolio contributors – Anyone who has built a project with AI help and wants to showcase it in a growing, public archive alongside other innovative work.

Key features

Curated real-world examples

Varchive already includes a range of live projects, such as an iOS daily goal tracker that visualizes progress over the course of a year, a Figma plugin focused on “code readiness for designers,” and an ambient AI reading companion built for people who love physical books.

Diverse project categories

The archive spans apps, websites, experimental interfaces, and even an agentic operating system styled after vintage OS X Aqua. You’ll find time zone checkers, TV season rankers, and voice interaction bots—all built with AI assistance.

Transparent tool attribution

Each project lists the specific AI tools used in its creation, such as Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Unicorn Studio. This gives visitors a clear picture of how modern AI tooling is being applied across different domains.

Open submission model

Varchive is designed to grow through community contributions. The archive is already populated with a few apps, and the next step is for builders to submit their own AI-assisted projects.

What stands out

Varchive is a living catalog of what happens when builders stop treating AI as a secret weapon and start treating it as a standard tool.

Most portfolios hide the AI involvement. Varchive does the opposite—it makes the tools part of the story. By openly crediting Cursor, Codex, Claude, and others, it normalizes AI-assisted development and creates a transparent record of how modern software is actually made. It’s not a gallery of finished products; it’s a snapshot of a new creative process.

Worth checking out if…

You’re building with AI and want to see what others are making, or you’ve shipped something yourself and want a place to submit it. Varchive is also worth a look if you’re curious about the range of projects that tools like Cursor and Codex can support—from simple iOS apps to experimental operating systems.
