What is Newly?

Newly AI is a web-based app builder that turns plain-language ideas into native iOS and Android applications. Its AI agent generates React Native code using Expo, with tools to preview the app, adjust its interface on a canvas, and test it on a phone. It is designed for people who want to build mobile apps without writing code, while keeping the generated source available for further development.

The platform includes automated database, authentication, and storage setup, along with connections to backend and AI services. Teams can collaborate in real time, and builders can generate assets for App Store and Google Play listings. Source code can be exported, modified, and deployed outside Newly.

Paid plans include monthly credits, publishing support, app landing pages, and human chat support. Publishing requires separate Apple Developer or Google Play Console accounts. Developer accounts, domains, and connected services cost extra.
