Newly is an AI-powered platform that builds native iOS and Android apps from simple prompts. It uses React Native and Expo to generate production-ready code with full source ownership, includes automated backend, real-time previews, and compliance-ready deployment to App Store and Google Play. Built for founders, product teams, and non-developers who want to turn ideas into shipped apps quickly, with collaboration and scalable infrastructure.
Newly AI: Build Native iOS & Android Apps with AI
Newly AI (Newly) is an AI-powered platform that lets anyone turn a simple idea into a production-ready native app for iOS and Android. Using natural language prompts, you can describe your app in any language and watch a real, fully native app come to life in real-time. No coding required.
Why Newly is Different
- True native apps, not web wrappers or PWAs. Built with React Native and Expo, your apps compile to real iOS and Android native code for top-tier performance and user experience.
- AI-powered development that lets you describe features in plain English and generate production-ready code.
- Full ownership of your code. Export the complete source code anytime and deploy anywhere with zero vendor lock-in.
- Compliance baked in from day one. Newly integrates App Store and Google Play readiness into the build process, helping you avoid rejections and speed up publishing.
Core Features
- AI-Driven Idea to App: Describe your app in natural language, and Newly’s advanced AI agent designs, builds, and deploys it.
- Real Native Code: React Native + Expo-based apps that compile to true native code, not webviews.
- Live, Real-Device Preview: See changes instantly on a real mobile device preview and iterate with the AI.
- Full Code Ownership: Download the ZIP or export to GitHub; modify and deploy without vendor lock-in.
- Built-in Code Editor: Edit generated code inside Newly or continue in your own environment.
- Automated Backend & Backend Features: Liquid Backend provides database, authentication (email/password and Google OAuth with one prompt), file storage, websockets, and serverless functions. Optional integrations include email (Resend) and SMS (Twilio).
- Backend Generations & API Connections: Automatic API and database creation to connect your app to services and data sources.
- App Store & Play Store Deployment: One-click deployment workflow to iOS and Android stores via Expo Launch and EAS Build.
- Automated Store Assets: Generate App Store and Google Play Store assets (screenshots, metadata, privacy policies, terms) automatically.
- APK Builder for Android: Built-in APK generation so you can test and publish easily—no Android Studio setup required.
- Design & UI Tweaks: Canvas for precise UI adjustments; embedded device previews for real-world feel.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Build Together—invite teammates to work in real-time on the same project.
- Templates, Examples, and Resources: App templates and prepared examples to jumpstart your work.
- Testing & Compliance Simulated: Test on simulators and real devices; ensure readiness before submission.
Real-World Use Cases
- Founders and solo developers shipping MVPs quickly without writing code.
- Hackathon participants prototyping concepts in hours, not days.
- Students learning mobile app development with hands-on, runnable projects.
- Product teams delivering compliant, store-ready apps with integrated backend and authentication.
- Teams who want to own and modify the generated code while avoiding vendor lock-in.
How It Works (Simple Flow)
1) Sign up and describe your app idea.
2) Watch the AI generate a production-ready native app and preview it live.
3) Iterate with the AI, tweak UI, add features, and connect backends.
4) Deploy to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store directly from Newly, with automated compliance checks and store-ready assets.

Starter Plan ( Tiered )
I was skeptical about no-code but Bubble proved me wrong. I built a B2B client portal with complex permissions, Stripe billing, and real-time notifications. The learning curve is real — give yourself 2–3 weeks — but once it clicks, you're unstoppable. Performance has been solid at our scale.
Coming from Webflow, Bubble felt overwhelming at first. The editor UX isn't as polished, and performance on complex apps can feel sluggish. That said, nothing else lets you build a full database-driven app without code. The community forums are excellent — almost every problem has been solved by someone.
Used Bubble to ship our MVP in 6 weeks, which was genuinely impressive. But once we needed real capacity, the jump from Growth to Team ($29 to $529/mo) was brutal for a bootstrapped startup. The server unit model is also confusing to reason about. Would love a mid-tier option.
Real apps built with Bubble by the community. Click any card to see full details.
Bubble now suggests the next workflow action based on your current logic using an embedded AI assistant — dramatically speeds up building complex multi-step flows.
Completely redesigned responsive layout system with per-breakpoint controls. Existing apps auto-migrate with one-click. Mobile apps now build 3× faster.
Team plan subscribers can now create development branches, make changes in isolation, and merge them back — similar to Git branching. Long requested by professional teams.
Fixed significant performance degradation on apps with 1M+ rows caused by query planner regression. Apps now load 40–60% faster under heavy data loads.
Rebuilt plugin API with TypeScript support, better error handling, and a new sandbox testing environment. Developer documentation fully rewritten.
