Build your first app

Describe an app, try it in the Simulator, then change it by chat.

Describe the app

Choose Create an app and write what the app is for, who uses it, and what it should keep track of. A few plain sentences are enough. iwantmy.app builds the first version in about a minute.

Say who uses it. "Just for me", "for my family", and "customers book, I see all bookings" lead to different apps.

Try asking

  • A shared shopping list for me and my partner. Either of us adds items with a quantity and the store, and ticks them off in the shop.
  • An app for Lotus Room, my small yoga studio. Anyone can see the weekly class schedule without an account. People sign in to book a class and see and cancel their own bookings.

Try it in the Simulator

The phone next to the chat is the Simulator. It runs your real app. Tap tabs, open records, and fill in forms the way your users will.

The Simulator saves to the live app database. Accounts and records you create there are real. You can see and remove them in the Users and Data tabs.

Change it by chat

Write what you want changed in the Builder message box. Each change saves on its own and shows in the Simulator when the request finishes. There is no publish button.

If a request fails, your app stays as it was, and the failed request does not count toward your plan.

Try asking

  • Add a priority field with Low, Medium and High.
  • Rename the Tasks tab to To do.
  • Show a chart of spending by category on the home screen.
