Thunkable is a no-code app development platform for creating native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Users can start with an app idea, use the AI Builder to generate a project through prompts, and then refine the result with visual building tools, Discuss Mode, and a code editor. The platform supports an iterative workflow from live testing on a phone to distribution through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Version history provides a way to revert a project to an earlier state. Thunkable also supports connections to external data, storage, APIs, and web content, making it suitable for custom tools, internal workforce apps, and consumer-facing mobile products. ## What can Thunkable do? ### AI Builder Generate an app project and make feature updates through prompts. Thunkable presents this as a no-code way to move from an idea toward a functional app. ### Discuss Mode Plan a project, troubleshoot issues, and get guidance for code changes when a build needs more deliberate control. ### Code editing and version history Combine AI-assisted building with direct code edits, and revert a project to an earlier version when necessary. ### Native app publishing Test an app on a phone and publish it to Apple’s App Store and Google Play from the Thunkable platform. ### Integrations and device capabilities Connect apps to databases, storage providers, APIs, web content, and services such as Airtable, Firebase, Google Sheets, Cloudinary, and RevenueCat. Supported device capabilities described by Thunkable include camera access, Bluetooth, and location services. ## Use Cases ### Field-service operations Give mobile and remote workers access to work information, documents, work orders, and spreadsheets. Teams can capture data and log work from the field, including in offline situations described on Thunkable’s field-services page. ### Employee management Build an internal mobile app around the information and processes a workforce needs, rather than requiring employees to work across unrelated or redundant tools. ### Consumer mobile apps Turn ideas such as habit trackers, meditation apps, trip planners, calculators, or inventory tools into native iOS and Android app projects. ### Data-backed and paid apps Use database or backend integrations for user data and account workflows, and connect RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What platforms can Thunkable apps target? Thunkable supports native app publishing to Apple’s App Store and Google Play. The platform also provides live testing on a phone before distribution. ### Do I need to write code to use Thunkable? Thunkable’s AI Builder is designed to create and update apps through prompts, and the company describes its platform as requiring no coding for this workflow. A code editor is also available for users who need direct code-level control. ### Can Thunkable apps work with external data or services? Yes. Thunkable documents database, storage, API, Web Viewer, design, and payment integrations. Examples include Airtable, Firebase, Google Sheets, Cloudinary, Xano, Backendless, RevenueCat, and Figma. ### Can I test an app before publishing it? Yes. Thunkable offers live testing on a phone. The pricing page distinguishes testing downloads, which expire after 72 hours, from distribution downloads, which do not expire while the applicable paid subscription remains active. ### What happens to private projects if a paid subscription ends?
