Click "+ Create App"button to start building a new app

We simplify the start of your app development into 3 steps:

• Enter a name & choose a logo

• Upload your data file

• Wait for Applloy to generate a new app for you, and then you can choose to publish immediately or customize it further in the Editor.

When creating a new app, you also have different options for data:

• Choose an existing spreadsheet from your Google Sheet, or Microsoft Excel, or upload from your local device.

• Use sample data provided by the AppAlloy team

• Create a blank app first

Diffferent options of data when creating a new app

Start with a template

Creating a new app from scratch can be a daunting task, so we want to make it easy by providing a range of pre-designed templates. These templates help you quickly launch an app with essential features and a polished layout.

• Visit the template library at https://appalloy.net/templates.
• In the library, you can use the search bar or the side category to find a template that fits your needs.

AppAlloy offers templates for various industries and purposes, so you're likely to find one that aligns with your project goals, such as:

• Education

• HR & Hiring

  

• Click on a template to see the detailed description, and try the app with live preview or scan the code to use it on your phone.

  

  Ways to preview and try the app

• If the template meets your requirements, click the Copy and Customize button.

• Choose the app name, pick an accent color, and click the Create App button.
