Lovable turns your ideas into real, working apps and websites. Just describe what you want to make, and Lovable builds it — design, logic, backend, and all. You don't need to know how to code. You don't need a technical co-founder. You don't need to wait months for a developer. If you can describe what you want, you can build it today. Millions of people are already using Lovable to create things they never thought they could. Founders have launched revenue-generating businesses. Marketing teams have shipped websites in an afternoon instead of waiting six weeks. Product managers bring working prototypes to meetings instead of slide decks. Here's how it works: open Lovable, describe your idea in plain language — or drop in a screenshot — and watch it come to life. Lovable generates a complete, working app with real code, beautiful design, and everything wired up. Then iterate by chatting: adjust the layout, add features, connect your payment system, refine until it's exactly right. When you're ready, deploy with one click. What people build on Lovable: - Web apps and mobile apps - Websites and landing pages - Internal tools and dashboards - SaaS products and marketplaces - Custom tools for their team It connects to the tools you already use — Stripe for payments, GitHub for code, Notion for docs, Shopify for e-commerce, Slack for notifications, and dozens more. Authentication, database, and hosting are included from the start. No setup, no configuration, no infrastructure decisions. Lovable was built from day one for people with ideas, not just engineers. That's why it feels different from other tools — simple from the first moment, with professional-quality results you'd be proud to share. Over 25 million projects have been built on the platform.

About

buriko pairs your phone with one small object you print yourself: a brick. Tap the brick and pick a length. The apps you chose go behind a shield. Then you leave the brick where it is — on a shelf, in another room, at home — and take your phone with you. The only early way out is walking back to it, and only once the minimum you agreed to has passed. Before that, the app tells you how long is left and nothing else. There is no streak to protect, no score to raise, no plant that dies if you fail. Those make the phone matter more, and the whole value of this app is not caring about it. How a session works • Tap the brick. Your tag's UID is matched against the paired one; a foreign tag does nothing. • Pick a length. Fifteen minutes is the floor — Apple's scheduler refuses anything shorter. • The shield goes up, and the end is scheduled before the shield is trusted. • Blocked apps show minutes remaining and the note you wrote about where you left the brick. • It ends by itself, with the app closed, at the time you set. • Or you go back and tap the brick again, once the minimum has passed. • Or you use one of three emergency unlocks per rolling week, behind a ten-second hold. The valve has to exist. It just shouldn't be something a thumb does by reflex. What it never does • No account, no sign-in, no sync. • No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising. • No networking code of any kind — the source is public and that is checkable. • The app never learns which apps you blocked. Apple hands it opaque tokens, and it stores them without ever decoding them. No brick yet? Face ID can stand in for one. Sessions start and end the same way, and the minimum duration and the emergency quota are identical — but the key is in your hand instead of across the room, and the app says so where you choose it. Pair a brick later and it takes over. What you need An NFC tag — an NTAG215 sticker or card costs about a euro — and, if you want the object, a printed shell. The models and print profiles are public domain, in the same repository as the app. Without either, Face ID gets you started. One thing no app can fix Deleting buriko removes every restriction it applied. If you want that door shut, turn on Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → App Deletion → Don't Allow.
