How do I build an app with App Builder?
Updated Nov 11, 2026 · 1 min read
App Builder turns a description into a working app with a live preview.
Build an app
- Click Apps in the sidebar.
- Under App type, choose Web app or Mobile app.
- Under What do you want to build?, describe your app. Or pick one under Or start from a template and click Use template.
- Watch the preview as it builds, then ask for changes in plain words, such as "add a dark mode" or "make the button bigger".
Preview a mobile app on your phone
- Install the Expo Go app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Scan the QR code shown in the preview. On iOS, use the Camera app. On Android, scan it inside Expo Go.
- The app opens on your phone and updates as you build.
The phone preview runs while your workspace is open and may take a moment on first launch.
Get the code
In Your apps, click Download ZIP to download the app's files. This works once a build has finished.
Delete an app
Click Delete app. This permanently deletes the app, its files and its build chat. It can't be undone.
Tips
- Describe the screens and what each one does.
- Ask for one change per message, so it's easy to see what changed.
