What is Rork?Rork is a platform for building and publishing apps without writing code: native iPhone apps, native Android apps, and web apps.Instead of hiring engineers or learning to code, you describe your app in plain language. Rork writes the app, handles the design, runs the builds, and publishes it: to the App Store, to Google Play, or to your own web address. There’s no Xcode, no Android tooling, no build pipelines to configure. Everything runs in the browser.What used to require months of work, a full team, and significant capital can now be done by a single person, quickly. You focus on the idea and the product decisions. Rork handles the implementation and publishing.If you have an app idea and want it live, Rork removes the cost, time, and complexity that normally stand in the way.
Build your first app
Go from an idea to a working app, step by step.
Pick your platform
iPhone, Android, or web: what each one is good at.
Publish your app
Ship to the App Store, Google Play, or the web.
Plans and credits
What a credit is, and what each plan includes.
