From idea to a working app, without waiting on a developer.
Floot is an AI app builder that turns an app idea into a working app with sign-up, a database and hosting, so founders can put a first version in front of real users before hiring anyone.
What you get
Most app ideas stall between the idea and the first version: the spec is fuzzy, the scope is too big, and the developer quote is too high. With AI you can build a first working version yourself, put it in front of real people and learn what to build next. This site walks through that path.
- 01
From a description to a working app
Describe the idea in ChatGPT, Claude or Floot’s editor and watch a live preview as it’s built.
- 02
Plan before you build
Floot can write a build plan you approve first, so the first version matches what you meant.
- 03
Real logins and data
Users sign up and their data is saved in Postgres, so you can test with real people.
- 04
Payments when you’re ready
Add checkout or a subscription through Floot Payments, paid out via Stripe.
- 05
Web and phone
Share a link first; publish to the App Store and Google Play later.

Frequent questions
How do I turn an app idea into a real app without coding?
Write a one-page spec, cut it to a small first version, and build it with an AI app builder like Floot that includes logins, a database and hosting. Then test it with real people.
How long does a first version take?
A focused first version can often be built over a weekend; testing it with users takes longer and matters more.
Should I protect my idea before building?
Ideas are rarely copied before they work. Check that your name is free and keep building; the guide on protecting your idea covers what actually matters.
What does it cost to try?
Floot is free to start. Pro is $25 a month when you need more.
