Have an idea for an app? Just describe it. MakeMyAppAI turns plain English into real, working apps. Tell the AI what you want — "a booking site for my salon", "a stock tracker", "a portfolio for my photography" — and watch it build the app in front of you: real code, a live preview, and a design you can refine by simply asking for changes. No coding. No templates that all look the same. A conversation. HOW IT WORKS • Describe your app in your own words — or dictate it with your voice • The AI writes real code and shows you a live preview as it works • Ask for changes the same way: "make it dark blue", "add a contact form" • Publish with one tap — your app goes live on the web with its own address • Share the link with anyone, on any device WHAT YOU CAN BUILD Landing pages, booking sites, dashboards, calculators, portfolios, small business sites, stock trackers, event pages — if you can describe it, you can build it. FAIR, SIMPLE PRICING • Building uses prepaid AI credits — pay only for what you use, and your credits never expire • Publishing an app starts a 30-day free hosting trial; hosting is a flat monthly price per app after that, and you can unpublish anytime to stop billing • No subscriptions required to build. No seats. No surprises. YOUR WORK IS YOURS You own the apps you create and the code behind them. Your projects are saved automatically and versioned with real git history. Built by ARIVATECH LLC.
