Why App Builder?
Bridging the gap between design, development, and business, our low-code platform fosters collaboration and accelerates app-building cycles, reducing development time by 80%. As a leading OutSystems alternative, App Builder empowers organizations and teams with pixel-perfect code generation, an extensive toolbox, and AI capabilities so they can build and drive innovation with the right tools. No limitations or hidden costs.
Blazing Fast Grids & Charts
Unlike OutSystems, where working with high-volume data and user interactions often requires additional development effort, we make this process effortless.
App Builder provides a robust library of 65+ UI components for large datasets and complex visualizations.
Easily drag and drop the controls you need directly to the canvas in a complete WYSIWYG app-building experience.
Build With Low-Code Simplicity. Amplify With AI.
Anything you craft with App Builder has the look and feel of a professionally designed enterprise-grade app without requiring a design team.
Leverage AI-driven features to easily generate views or images based on plain language prompts.
Match any branding requirement with various theming and styling options—no clunky visual editing involved.
You Have Full Control Over Your App
Developers’ major concern when using low-code tools is limited control over generated code or apps’ functionality. However, with App Builder, you can achieve developer freedom and refine UX.
You can apply customizations, create color palettes for charts, change themes, preview and generate clean, production-ready code, publish to GitHub, or download a zip.
There’s no vendor lock-in.
The Ultimate Design-To-Code Story
App Builder ensures seamless design import with the brand-new Figma UI kit that maps to real, framework-agnostic UI components for Angular, React, Web Components, and Blazor.
Convert Figma designs to code instantly.
Eliminate error-prone hand coding and designer-developer handoffs.
Superior Integration & Cross-Platform Accessibility
You can quickly add, edit, and use any data source (Rest API) you want.
No more relying on predefined datasets. Set up any data input and benefit from integration with different sources: databases, spreadsheets, and APIs.
App Builder works with external tools and services like GitHub and Reveal for embedded analytics.
