Bolt to mobile app
In one sentence
BuildMyAPK converts your Bolt project into a mobile app. Use Existing backend mode with your live URL, GitHub repo, or OpenAPI spec to generate a branded Expo client with live preview and APK export.

How Bolt to app works
Switch to Existing backend in the dashboard. Attach your Bolt site URL — and optionally OpenAPI or a GitHub repository. BuildMyAPK extracts brand tokens, plans mobile screens, and writes an Expo / React Native client that can call your existing API.
What you need to provide
Minimum: your live site URL and a prompt describing the mobile flows you want.
- Deployed Bolt app URL
- GitHub repository from Bolt export
- OpenAPI or API route documentation
- Prompt describing priority mobile screens
Bolt backend reality
Bolt.new generates full-stack web apps in the browser. Export or sync to GitHub, deploy the app, and attach the URL in Existing backend mode. BuildMyAPK reads routes from the repo and builds an Expo mobile client for the same product logic.
Not a WebView wrapper
A wrapper APK loads your site in embedded browser chrome. BuildMyAPK generates native-style React Native screens that match your brand — which you can iterate in chat and export as real source code.
How to start
Create an account, open the dashboard, and describe the product in one sentence — or paste a website URL. Preview the live app in a phone frame, iterate in chat, then export source or run a cloud build for APK or IPA.
FAQ
Can I go from Bolt chat to APK in one step?
Bolt → deploy → BuildMyAPK Existing backend → preview → EAS APK build. Two products, one backend.
Will Bolt's Supabase/Firebase setup work?
Yes, when the API contract or repo exposes the same auth and data routes the web app uses.
