Buildra Now Builds Mobile Apps — Scan a QR Code and Hold Yours

From a sentence to an app on your phone

Until today, Buildra built web apps. Starting today, you can describe a mobile app — "a habit tracker", "a flashcard app for my exam", "a workout timer" — and Buildra builds a real cross-platform mobile app: React Native with Expo, TypeScript, file-based navigation with expo-router, and Tailwind-style styling with NativeWind. Not a web page in a phone-shaped box — the same stack professional app teams use to ship to the app stores.

The workspace shows your app in a phone-sized live preview while your crew builds it, and you iterate the way you always have on Buildra: say what to change in plain English and watch it happen.

The QR code is the magic part

Install the free Expo Go app from the App Store or Google Play, open your project's QR code in the workspace, and scan it. Your app boots on your actual iPhone or Android phone, served live from your Buildra workspace. Keep chatting: changes appear on the phone as they land — no cables, no rebuilds, no developer account needed.

What you can build today — and what's next

Today's mobile apps are on-device apps: habit trackers, checklists, journals, timers, flashcards, calculators — your data is stored right on the phone. Connected apps with accounts and shared data come next, and publishing to the App Store and Google Play is on our public roadmap: the research is done, and one principle is settled — you will always own your own developer accounts and your app.

Mobile apps are available to everyone starting today — Free and Pro, in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. Describe the app you've always wanted on your phone, and hold it in your hand a few minutes later.
