From idea to shipped app.
The whole path in five steps. No setup, no toolchain to install, just start describing.
Describe your app
From your dashboard, write what you want to build in plain words, "a fitness app where I can log workouts", or pick a starter template.
Buildy scaffolds an Expo project by default and opens a hosted preview. Keep chatting to add screens and features, or choose another target when starting the project.
Iterate by pointing
Click any element in the live preview to tell the AI exactly which component you mean, no need to describe it in words.
You can also open the code panel to read or hand-edit any file; your manual edits are versioned and revertible.
Test the preview on your phone
Open Build → Test on your phone to get a link and QR code. The link opens Buildy's hosted PWA preview; supported browsers can add that preview to the Home Screen.
Use this path for device testing and feedback. It is separate from the signed APK, AAB, or IPA you compile for distribution.
Publish to the stores
Open Build to compile a signed APK (sideload on any Android phone) or AAB (the bundle Google Play requires). For iOS, export the standard Expo source and use your preferred Apple build toolchain.
Connect App Store Connect once with an API key to verify access, prepare listings and track store status. Buildy never asks for your Apple ID password, and direct IPA/TestFlight signing stays disabled until the isolated signer is ready.
Android: build the AAB, and optionally connect a Google Play service account to ship to the internal-testing track. For auto-submit the app must already exist in Play Console (one prior manual upload).
Back up your Android signing keystore (Build shows a download), you need the same key to publish updates forever.
Prefer to do it yourself? Download the Android artifact; for iOS, export the standard source and build it with your Apple toolchain.
Export & GitHub sync
On a paid plan, download the runnable project for the selected target as a zip and continue with its standard toolchain.
Or connect GitHub for two-way sync: your changes auto-push, and commits you make on GitHub flow back into Buildy automatically.
On the free plan you can create and preview apps; export, GitHub, Supabase and native builds unlock when you upgrade.
