There are many to-do apps on the App Store but not all of them are actually used. Just like every other idea, to-do apps must be flawed too. The good part is: you can find that flaw and fix it in your own app now.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll learn how you can build a to-do list app on Natively in 10 minutes.

Step 1: Sign-up on Natively

Natively’s AI can build any kind of mobile app without coding. To get started, you need to sign up and create a new account. There are three options for you here:

Although you can sign up just like that, you need to subscribe to one of our pricing plans to use the platform. Check out the plan that suits you the best.

Step 2: Write your prompt

The best part about Natively is that anyone can build apps with it. All you have to do is describe your app idea and the specifics you want in the prompt box.

To create a to-do list app, write a prompt such as, “Create a to-do list app and add three priority tags: Urgent, Important; not urgent, and Not Important” in the box. You can also adjust the prompt based on the app’s context.

Here’s our exemplary prompt:

If you want to engineer good prompts, you can read our guide on prompt engineering. Once you click on the ‘arrow’, the AI will create your app’s interface.

It looks like this now:

Step 3: Create a Supabase Account

So far, the app’s frontend or interface is ready. However, it isn’t functional yet and that’s where we need to add the backend such as Supabase.

This leads us to our third step: creating a Supabase account. Create your account with an email address and a password.

After a few steps, you will end up on your Supabase’s first project. We’ve named it as a Demo Project. It looks like this:

Step 4: Connect to Supabase

Once you’ve created a Supabase project, come back to our Natively app. Click on the “Integrations” tab on the top menu bar and select “Supabase” as one.

A pop-up will appear that looks like this:

You will have to log into Supabase from here and then connect your Natively app to project you’ve just created. Once connected, it will look like this:

Step 5: Make it functional

After connecting Supabase, your app’s frontend and backend are ready. You can now add any feature or app screen that you want with complete functionality.

For instance, you can prompt the AI to create a “Sign-up Page” for the app. It will be ready in a few minutes. In addition, you can change the layout and add new tags to make your to-do app actually useful.

Here too, you need prompting. Describe the feature you want to add and Natively’s AI will build it for you.
