Nextjs to mobile app
In one sentence
BuildMyAPK converts your Next.js 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 Next.js to app works
Switch to Existing backend in the dashboard. Attach your Next.js 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.
- Production Next.js app URL
- GitHub repository
- OpenAPI documenting /api routes (or infer from repo)
- Prompt for mobile tab structure and auth flows
Next.js backend reality
Next.js App Router and API routes can serve as the backend for a mobile client. Import the Next.js repo or provide OpenAPI for route handlers. BuildMyAPK generates Expo screens that call the same /api endpoints — no need to rewrite your Next.js server 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
Do Next.js server components run on mobile?
No. Mobile calls your Next.js API routes. UI is regenerated as React Native screens.
Does this work with NextAuth?
Mobile needs token endpoints. Document login/session routes in OpenAPI or ensure repo analysis detects auth handlers.
