Getting Started

Your first full-stack app in under ten minutes.

1. Sign in

Head to rapidnative.com and sign in with email. No credit card. You land on your dashboard.

2. Start a new project

Click New Project. Name it. You're now in the builder.

3. Describe your app

You have four ways to tell RapidNative what you want:

Prompt

Type it in plain English. For example, 'A recipe app where users can save favorites and share collections.'

Image

Upload a screenshot, a Figma export, or a photo of a whiteboard sketch.

Sketch

Draw it inline with our whiteboarding tool.

PRD

Paste an existing product doc and generate from it.

Hit generate. RapidNative builds a full-stack app. Frontend, database schema, auth flows, file storage, and real-time wiring. All together.

4. Explore it live

Your app runs live in the browser powered by ReactNative.run. Every screen is populated with realistic mock data so you can actually see what it'll look like in production. Click through flows. Sign up as a test user. Upload a file. It all works.

5. Iterate

  • Inline edits for quick tweaks to specific elements.
  • Prompt-based changes for bigger shifts ("add a messaging screen", "switch the color scheme to dark mode").
  • Rollback to jump back to any earlier version.
  • Fix with AI if anything breaks.

6. Take it to your phone

Hit Add to Homescreen and install your app as a PWA on any device. Or scan the QR to open it in Expo Go and test on a real phone.

7. Invite collaborators

Share a link. Your co-founder, client, or designer joins the same project and sees everything live.

8. Export when you're ready

Download the code anytime. Open it in VS Code, extend it, push it to your own repo. Standard Expo project. No lock-in.

That's it. You have a working app.
