​
General

Vibecode is the easiest way to build apps using natural language. Available on iOS and on the web at vibecodeapp.com, you can generate fully functional apps with prompting, test them in real-time, and share with anyone instantly.
Vibecode is unique because it:
  • Allows you to build and test directly on your mobile device
  • Supports one-click sharing via published links without requiring App Store submission
  • Generates native iOS/Android apps, not just web apps
  • Provides real-time preview and iteration capabilities
  • Offers extensive integrations with popular APIs and services
  • Gives you full access to export your source code
You can share your apps in multiple ways:
  • Sharing: Share instantly with anyone via a published link — no App Store submission required
  • Export Code: Download your complete source code and deploy it yourself
  • App Store: Submit your app to the Apple App Store for public distribution
Sharing by published link is the fastest way to let people try your app immediately.
Mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus web apps. The world is your oyster — you can build whatever comes to your mind. Check out the Example Projects for inspiration.
No coding experience is required! Vibecode is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced developers. You simply describe what you want in natural language, and the AI handles the technical implementation. If you do have coding experience, you can download your code or connect via SSH for deeper customization.
We’re actively working on Android support. While we can already generate Android-compatible code, the native Vibecode Android app for building on-device is coming soon. Stay tuned to our updates and community channels for the latest announcements.
Yes! Vibecode generates production-quality code that you can use for real applications. Many users have successfully built and deployed production apps using Vibecode. You have full control over the generated code and can export it for further customization or deployment.
Absolutely! Vibecode is suitable for both personal and professional use. Many businesses and professionals use Vibecode to:
  • Prototype ideas quickly
  • Build internal tools and apps
  • Create client projects
  • Develop commercial applications
You own the code you generate and can use it however you like.
Yes! Apps built with Vibecode are cross-platform and work on both iOS and Android devices. The code is built using React Native and Expo, which enables deployment to both platforms from a single codebase.
It depends on the complexity of your app. Simple apps can be built in minutes, while more complex apps with multiple features might take longer. The beauty of Vibecode is that you can iterate and refine quickly using natural language.

Building Tips & Best Practices

Start by simplifying your idea into the essential features, then build from there. It also helps to have an initial prompt that details the expected outcome in terms of the look, feel, and functionality. See our Prompt Templates for examples.
Our AI Agent is pretty good at coming up with what is needed for building your app regardless of the prompt, but for specific features it is best to be as specific as possible. You can even suggest examples (e.g., “An app that is designed like Duolingo” or “make the app have the Google color scheme”). Check out our Native UI Components page for copy-paste prompts.
Either copy and paste the error back into the chat, or tell the AI agent that you got an error and it should try to resolve it. See our Troubleshooting guide for common issues.

​
Features

You can integrate payment systems into your Vibecode app. Popular options include:RevenueCat: For in-app purchases and subscriptions — ask the AI to “integrate RevenueCat for subscriptions” and add your API keys via the ENV tab.Stripe: For one-time payments and custom payment flows — prompt the AI to “add Stripe payment integration” and configure via the ENV tab.Important: Never hardcode API keys in your app. Always use environment variables via the Vibecode ENV tab.
Vibecode has a built-in App Store submission flow — no need to use Xcode manually.
  1. Open your project and tap the app name (mobile) or click Share (web)
  2. Select Publish on App Store / Deploy to App Store
  3. Follow the step-by-step wizard to configure your app, add your Expo token, and start Expo Launch
You’ll need an Apple Developer Program membership ($99/year) and an Expo account (free).See the full guide: Deploy to App Store
Vibecode Cloud is the easiest way — it gives you a database, authentication, and file storage with a single prompt. Just tell the AI “add a database and authentication to my app” and it sets everything up automatically.Vibecode Cloud is available on Plus plans and above. See the Backend & Auth guide for details on how it works under the hood.You can also integrate external services like Supabase or Firebase if you prefer — just prompt the AI to add the integration.
Look for the “New Chat” or ”+” button in the Vibecode workspace. This creates a fresh conversation while preserving your existing chats. You can always return to previous chats by selecting them from your chat history.
Long-press on any app in your projects list and select “Download Code.” Check your email for the download link. The exported code is a complete React Native/Expo project that you can run locally, modify, and deploy.See the full guide: Download Your Code

​
Data & Integrations

Yes! Vibecode Cloud provides a built-in backend for your app with database, authentication, and file storage. Just tell the AI “add a database and authentication to my app” and it sets everything up automatically.Vibecode Cloud is available on Plus plans and above. See the Vibecode Cloud guide for details.You can also integrate with external services like Supabase or Firebase if you prefer.
Yes! With Vibecode Cloud (available on Plus plans and above), you can add user authentication to your app. Tell the AI “add login to my app” and it will set up Better Auth with Vibecode’s default email OTP flow.For Google Sign-In, see the Google Sign-In setup guide.

Vibecode generates true native mobile apps, not web apps. Your apps are built using React Native and Expo, which compile to native iOS and Android code. This means full access to native device features (camera, sensors, notifications), native performance, and ability to publish to app stores.
