Describe the app you want, and AI builds it for you. In about a minute, AI turns a sentence or two into a native mobile app - it plans the pages, writes the content and lays out every screen around your idea. Everything behind your app comes ready too. The backend, database and hosting are built in, so there are no servers to rent, no databases to configure and no third-party services to connect. Describe it, and it's ready to test on your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple. 2. Describe your app in a sentence or two - a restaurant ordering app, a booking app for your studio, a community app for your club. 3. Subscribe for that app. One App Store subscription covers one app, and you can build and pay for up to five apps here. 4. AI builds it. Your app's pages and content are generated from your description in about a minute. 5. Test it on your phone. Tap "Test your app" to open your app in App Test Lab, our free companion app on the App Store. WHAT YOU GET - A native mobile app created by AI from your description, with its pages and content written for you - Backend, database and hosting included - nothing to install, configure or maintain - The same account on appypie.com, where you can keep refining your app in the full Appy Pie builder and publish it to the app stores - Restore your purchases on a new phone, and manage your apps and account from the avatar menu PRICING Each app is a monthly auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple ID. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe, and you can cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone with an app idea and the ambition to launch it - a business of one or a company of thousands. If you can describe it, AI can build it. - Startup founders: launch your product as a real native app, put it in front of users and show investors something they can hold, before you hire a development team. - Restaurants, cafes, bakeries and food trucks: put your menu, specials, hours and location in your customers' pockets and keep them coming back. - Salons, spas, studios, gyms and personal trainers: give clients your services, class schedules and prices in an app with your brand on it. - Retailers and online stores: show off your products, launch offers and stay one tap away from your customers. - Real estate agents and property managers: present listings, neighborhoods and contact details in an app clients keep on their phone. - Clinics, dentists and wellness practices: share your services, team, hours and appointment details with patients. - Teachers, tutors, schools and course creators: bring lessons, schedules, resources and announcements into one app for students and parents. - Creators, podcasters and influencers: build a home for your audience that you own, beyond any single social platform. - Churches, clubs, nonprofits and associations: keep members connected with events, news and updates. - Event, conference and festival organizers: put the agenda, speakers, venue details and announcements in one app. - Hotels, travel and tourism businesses: give guests a digital guide to your property, your services and the best local spots. - Agencies and freelancers: deliver branded apps for clients in minutes and grow a new line of business. - Growing companies and enterprises: create employee apps, field team apps, customer apps and branded apps for every department, without waiting in an IT queue.
