Yeah that’s been my experience too. You can edit the Swift code directly in bitrig, though editing code on a phone is not the best experience. We’ve had a lot of requests for a Mac app. Stay tuned ;)

You can get a compiled build of your app from bitrig: go to Distribute App which will build your app on our server and then upload it to TestFlight for you (this requires a paid Apple Developer Account). This lets you install the compiled app on your Home Screen. You could also always export the code if you want to build it yourself.

For what it's worth, I don't need a Mac app for this, just to be able to edit the app I've (mostly) built with the tools I already have. I like the idea of being able to do the 90% on the phone, and iterate on it etc, but for the remaining part I'd prefer to use my existing tools.
