About

Conjure

Read full description

Turn an idea into a useful little app — just by describing it. Conjure guides you through a short requirements chat, then builds a focused applet you can use right away. Most builds finish in a minute or two. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE Trackers, planners, calculators, flashcards, checklists, games, expense splitters — small tools shaped to exactly what you asked for, not a template someone else designed. HOW IT WORKS • Describe what you need in a short chat • Conjure asks a few clarifying questions • Your applet builds in a minute or two • Get a notification the moment it's ready • Keep it in your library and use it whenever MAKE IT YOURS • Edit any applet by continuing the conversation • Keep selected applet data in sync across your devices • Use saved applets offline when supported • Share by link, or invite specific people into a shared space BUILT TO BE SAFE Every generated applet runs inside a constrained viewer. It has no bridge to your account or your data, and it can only use your camera, microphone, or location if you explicitly allow it. Shared content is screened, and viewers can report an applet or block its creator. Conjure is free for this launch. No ads, no tracking, and no in-app purchases.
