Cottix
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cottix turns your vibe-coded web apps into proper mobile tools — with persistent storage, offline support, and real-time collaboration. If you build with Lovable, Bolt, Claude, v0, or any AI tool, you know the problem: your app lives in a browser tab, loses data when the page reloads, and has no place on a home screen. Cottix fixes that. INSTALL ANY WEB APP IN SECONDS Paste a URL or drop an HTML file — Cottix downloads it, wraps it, and puts it on your home screen. Your localStorage data is saved to a real SQLite database, so nothing gets wiped. DATA THAT ACTUALLY PERSISTS Every write your app makes to localStorage is silently intercepted and stored on-device. Close the app, restart your phone, come back a week later — your data is exactly where you left it. COLLABORATE IN REAL TIME Share any app with a team using an invite code. All members see the same live data. Changes sync across devices within seconds via a built-in 3-way merge engine — no backend needed. SECURE API KEYS, ON DEVICE Store OpenAI, Anthropic, or any API key in your device keychain. Your apps can make authenticated API calls without ever exposing the key in code. WORKS WITH ANY WEB APP If it runs in a browser and uses localStorage, it works in Cottix. React, Vue, vanilla JS, Svelte — no changes required. BUILT FOR BUILDERS Cottix is for the people building tools with AI assistants and wanting them to feel real on mobile. No SDK, no config, no deploy pipeline. Free plan includes 5 apps. Upgrade for unlimited apps and collaboration. Terms of Use: https://cottix.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://cottix.co/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Build Cheap at 13.0 against Cottix's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
