We’re continuing to add features to mobile apps with active development. Your real-world examples help us prioritize improvements. Try building different apps and tell us what works and what breaks.

Why Anything?

Build mobile apps by describing what you want. Anything generates React Native code that works on iOS and Android. What you get:
  • Prompt to app - Describe your app, get working code
  • Design included - AI designs apps like a human would
  • Test on device - Preview with Expo Go on your phone
  • Full stack - Built-in databases, functions, auth, storage, and payments
  • Publish anywhere - Deploy to App Store and Play Store

Getting Started

Build your first mobile app. Follow our Getting Started Guide from concept to deployment.

What You Can Build

Device Capabilities

Use camera, location, sensors, and 39+ other device features. We’re adding more constantly. See the complete Device Capabilities Guide. Example projects: Fitness Companion
  • Track runs with GPS, capture progress photos, visualize workout data with charts, schedule sessions in calendar, feel achievements with haptic feedback
Local Business Finder
  • Discover nearby restaurants on interactive maps, get directions with location services, call businesses from contacts, browse photo galleries, work offline with smart caching
AI Coaching App
  • Chat with AI coach via text, track progress with charts, charge for Pro features with Stripe integration, get daily reminders via notifications, store goals securely

Publishing Your App

Testing & Quality Assurance

Test and debug your app with our Testing & Debugging Guide.

How It Works

Anything generates React Native code. Preview with Expo Go on your device. The code tab shows React Native components like <View>, <Text>, and <TouchableOpacity> that work on iOS and Android.
Preview your app in the builder as you chat with Anything.
Device features like camera, location, and barcode scanning won’t work in web preview. Use Expo Go on your device for full testing.

FAQ

We’ve built features to support this, you can ask the builder to “generate a mobile app from this web app” and it will work to create a mobile based design of your existing web project.
No! Anything handles all React Native code for you. Just describe what you want.
Yes, iOS publication to App Store is live today. Google Play Store has manual requirements while we work toward full release of that feature.
You handle app signing certificates yourself for now. We’ll simplify this in future updates.
Yes! Your mobile app connects to the same database as your web app.
Anything automatically generates responsive layouts that adapt to different device sizes.
Yes! You can use Stripe for digital goods on iOS by linking to external checkout pages, which Anything does automatically for you once you have integrated our Stripe integration.Due to a US District Court order, Apple updated its guidelines to allow developers more freedom to direct iOS app users to external payment options. See the Reuters coverage and Apple’s official announcement.What Stripe Enables:
  • Digital goods and subscriptions - Sell in-app credits, premium features, or subscriptions
  • External checkout flow - Redirect users to Stripe’s hosted payment page
  • Universal Links - Seamlessly return users to your app after payment
  • Cross-platform purchases - Users can buy on web and access in your app
Note: This approach requires users to leave your app temporarily. Apple Payment and further ecosystem additions are in progress for our mobile builder.For complete implementation details, see our payments system documentation.
