NativelyThe Professional
App Builder
Build native iOS and Android apps without coding. The most powerful app creator and app maker platform. Create production-ready mobile apps with complete functionality—from idea to App Store in days, not months.
What is an
App Builder?
An app builder is a platform that simplifies mobile app development, allowing you to create applications without writing code from scratch. Think of it as a modern alternative to hiring developers—you get the same quality apps at a fraction of the time and cost.
Traditional app development is complex. You need to know programming languages (Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript), understand app architecture, design user interfaces, set up databases, handle authentication, and navigate deployment processes. An app maker handles all this complexity for you.
However, not all app builders are equal. Many create limited, template-based apps or webviews that don't feel like real mobile apps. Natively is different—we use AI to generate true native iOS and Android applications using React Native and Expo, the same professional tools used by development teams at major companies.
The result? Apps that look, perform, and feel exactly like apps built by professional developers—because they use the same underlying technology. You get full source code ownership, can customize everything, and there's no vendor lock-in.
How Our
App Builder Works
Describe Your App
Tell us what you want to build in plain English. "A fitness app where users can track workouts and see their progress over time" or "A marketplace where people can buy and sell handmade goods."
AI Builds Your App
Our AI analyzes your description and generates the complete application. It creates the user interface, sets up navigation, configures the backend database, implements authentication, and writes all the code.
Test on Your Phone
Scan a QR code and instantly see your app running on your actual phone. Test features, check the design, and experience it exactly as your users will. Make changes by telling the AI what to adjust.
Launch to Users
Deploy with one click to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, or export your source code to GitHub. Your app is production-ready with no additional development needed.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is an app builder?
An app builder is a platform that allows you to create mobile applications without extensive programming knowledge. Modern app builders use AI and visual tools to generate complete, functional apps. Natively is an app builder that creates true native iOS and Android apps using industry-standard technologies like React Native and Expo, giving you professional-quality apps with full source code ownership.
What's the difference between an app builder and traditional coding?
Traditional coding requires learning programming languages, frameworks, and spending months building an app. An app builder automates the development process, allowing you to create apps in days instead of months. With Natively, you describe what you want in plain English, and the AI generates professional-quality code. However, unlike other app builders, you get the actual source code and can customize it like a traditionally-developed app.
What types of apps can I build with an app builder?
You can build virtually any type of mobile app including e-commerce stores, social networks, marketplaces, fitness trackers, food delivery apps, booking systems, education platforms, productivity tools, and content apps. Natively's app builder handles complex features like user authentication, databases, payments, real-time updates, and third-party integrations.
Do I need coding experience to use an app builder?
No! App builders are designed for people without coding experience. With Natively, you simply describe your app idea, and the AI creates it. However, because you get full source code access, developers can also use Natively to speed up their workflow and then customize the code as needed.
Are app builder apps as good as professionally coded apps?
With Natively, yes. We generate professional-quality code using React Native and Expo—the same tools professional developers use. Companies like Microsoft, Shopify, and Tesla use React Native. The apps you build have the same performance, features, and quality as apps built by development teams, because they use the same underlying technology.
Can I publish apps built with an app maker to app stores?
Yes! Apps built with Natively are true native iOS and Android apps that can be published to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We provide one-click deployment through Expo Launch, or you can export the code and handle deployment yourself. Your apps meet all app store requirements.
What happens to my app if I stop using the app builder?
You own your app completely. Export the full source code to GitHub at any time and take it anywhere. Host it yourself, hire developers to modify it, or switch to another platform. There's zero vendor lock-in. This is different from most app builders that keep your app locked in their platform.
How long does it take to build an app with an app creator?
With Natively, you can have a working app in minutes. The AI generates the initial version instantly, and you can iterate and refine over hours or days. Traditional development takes 3-9 months. Even other app builders often require weeks of drag-and-drop work. Natively is dramatically faster.
