General Questions
PushToApp is an AI-powered desktop application that transforms your ideas into fully functional apps. Simply describe what you want to build in plain English, and PushToApp generates a complete, working application with professional features like dark mode, icons, and responsive design.
Unlike web-based builders, PushToApp runs locally on your computer, giving you full control over your projects and the ability to export to PWA, Android, and iOS.
No coding required! PushToApp is designed for non-technical users. You describe your app idea in everyday language, and our AI handles all the technical implementation.
Just tell PushToApp what you want: "Create a tip calculator" or "Build a todo list with categories" and watch your app come to life.
PushToApp is available for:
- macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon)
- Windows (Windows 10 and later)
Download the version for your operating system from our download page.
Yes, an internet connection is required during the build process. PushToApp uses advanced AI models in the cloud to generate your applications.
However, once your app is built, the generated application works completely offline. Your finished apps don't require any internet connection to run.
PushToApp can build a wide variety of applications:
- Utilities: Calculators, timers, unit converters
- Productivity: Todo lists, note apps, kanban boards
- Finance: Budget trackers, expense managers, tip calculators
- Creative: Drawing apps, color pickers, QR generators
- Business: CRM tools, dashboards, forms
- Healthcare: HIPAA-friendly internal tools
- Government: Secure, compliant applications
We also offer 37+ ready-to-use templates across professional, healthcare, and government categories.

- New builds: 1-5 credits depending on app complexity
- Iterations: 1 credit per modification

Building Apps
Build times depend on app complexity:
- Simple apps (calculators, timers): 30-60 seconds
- Medium apps (todo lists, trackers): 1-3 minutes
- Complex apps (dashboards, multi-feature): 3-7 minutes
You can watch the build progress in real-time, including a live preview as each stage completes.
Every app built with PushToApp automatically includes:
- Dark mode with toggle button
- Professional icons (from Iconify library)
- Responsive design (works on all screen sizes)
- Menu system with Instructions and About sections
- Clean, modern styling
These features are added through our standardization process, ensuring every app looks professional.
Yes! Use the Iteration feature to modify your app with natural language instructions:
- "Change the color scheme to blue"
- "Add a save button"
- "Make the font larger"
- "Add a settings page"
Each iteration uses 1 credit. You can iterate as many times as needed to get your app exactly right.
PushToApp has built-in quality checks at each stage. If something goes wrong:
- The system automatically attempts to fix issues (up to 3 refinement cycles)
- You'll see detailed error messages if a build can't be completed
- Credits are only fully charged for successful builds
If you experience persistent issues, contact PushToApp@larkite.com for support.
Yes! During any build, you can:
- Pause: The current stage will complete, then wait for you to resume
- Cancel: Stops the build after the current stage finishes
This gives you full control over the build process.
Exports
PushToApp offers four export options:
- HTML: Single self-contained file, works in any browser
- PWA: Progressive Web App with offline support, installable on devices
- Android: Complete Capacitor project, ready to build APK
- iOS: Xcode project for App Store submission
All exports are free and don't use credits!
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web app that behaves like a native app:
- Users can install it on their home screen
- Works offline after first load
- No app store approval needed
- Works on any device with a browser
PWAs are perfect for sharing apps quickly without going through app stores.
To publish to Google Play:
- Export your app as Android from PushToApp
- Open the project in Android Studio
- Build a signed APK or App Bundle
- Upload to your Google Play Console ($25 one-time fee)
PushToApp generates a complete project with signing keys ready. The exported README includes step-by-step instructions.
To publish to the App Store:
- Export your app as iOS from PushToApp (requires Mac)
- Open the project in Xcode
- Configure your Apple Developer account ($99/year)
- Archive and submit through App Store Connect
Note: iOS export requires macOS and Xcode. The exported project includes all necessary configuration.
- Free plan: PWA exports include a small "Built with PushToApp" badge
- Paid plans: All exports are completely white-label with no PushToApp branding
Upgrade to any paid plan to remove the badge and present your apps as fully your own.
Templates
PushToApp includes 37+ professional templates across three categories:
- Professional Practices: Client intake, appointment scheduling, invoice tracking, inventory management
- HIPAA-Friendly: Patient check-in, medication tracking, incident reporting, compliance checklists
- Government & Defense: Security logging, access management, compliance dashboards
All templates are fully customizable and include dark mode, icons, and responsive design.
Absolutely! Templates are starting points that you can customize:
- Use the AI chat to request changes before building
- Modify colors, layout, and features
- Add or remove functionality
- Use iterations after building to refine further
Templates save time by giving you a professional foundation to build on.
Our HIPAA-friendly templates are designed with healthcare workflows in mind and include features like:
- Local-only data storage (no cloud transmission)
- Appropriate data fields for healthcare settings
- Privacy-conscious design patterns
Important: While our templates support HIPAA-compliant workflows, full compliance depends on your implementation, infrastructure, and organizational policies. Consult your compliance officer for your specific requirements.
