Rork — Build an App with AI

Rork, Inc.

Consider Rork when the app you want should end up as a native iPhone or Android app, or as a web link, and you want to describe it in plain language. Pick the output first, because the plan, the preview and the publishing route all depend on it.

Good to know

Check AI answers against their sources. Review account permissions and data settings before sharing private files or connections.

App Store and Google Play review, a developer account and testing on a real device are your responsibility.

Before publishing with user data or payments, review sign-in and database access rules, check whether the published app is public by default and keep secrets out of prompts and client code.

Check the official page for current quotas and output conditions.

Editorial selection guide

Who is it for?

  • People who want a native-feeling iPhone or Android app, or a web app, from a plain-language idea without installing Xcode or Android Studio.
  • Founders who want to put an idea online as a web link first and add the store versions to the same project later.

Getting started

  • Create a free account with Google or Apple on the official site, choose For iPhone, For Android or For web before the first message, and describe one main function (a form behind a sign-in and a list screen).
  • Open the preview that fits the output: the live preview for web, the iOS simulator or the Android emulator in the browser; simulators spend credits per minute and a browser preview can differ from the real device.
  • For web use Publish to web; for the stores set up the Apple Developer or Google Play account first, then follow the publish steps and finish the listing in App Store Connect or Play Console.

Decision points

  • Building a working app (web, iPhone or Android) needs a paid plan. A web app then publishes to a Rork address with no store review, while native iPhone and Android apps also need your own store accounts. The free plan only explores designs in Design mode.
  • Code export to GitHub with two-way sync is documented for paid plans, and the FAQ says paid users own the generated code. Rork Cloud, the backend Rork hosts, is free while in beta and can be moved one way to your own Supabase; AI features inside your app use separate pay-as-you-go cloud credits.

Limits

  • App Store and Google Play review, a developer account and testing on a real device are your responsibility. Rork's publishing guide says it builds and uploads for you, but each store needs an account in your name, an identity check and a listing you write; approval is not promised. The guide also notes extra testing requirements for new personal Google Play accounts, so check Google's current rules.
  • Submitting to the App Store means giving Rork your Apple Developer sign-in, which the privacy policy treats as sensitive information used only to authenticate with Apple for the action you request. Changes to the Rork Cloud backend go live right away, with no separate preview step, so take care with actions that delete or overwrite data.
  • Plans, credits and what a plan includes change often and the documentation shows no update date; simulators, emulators and iOS builds spend extra credits. A web output cannot go to the app stores and lacks deep native features such as widgets or Apple Watch support. OOXL did not run Rork; this entry states no prices.

Frequently asked questions

Does Rork build React Native apps?

According to the platform documentation, new projects are built as SwiftUI iPhone apps, Kotlin and Compose Android apps or Vite and React web apps. New Expo and React Native projects are no longer created, while existing ones keep working.

Can I try Rork without paying?

A free account is available and uses Design mode to explore app designs. The documentation says Build mode, which turns designs into working code you can test and publish, needs a paid plan, so check the plans page before you rely on the free tier.
