In one sentence
BuildMyAPK converts your React dashboard 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 React dashboard to app works
Switch to Existing backend in the dashboard. Attach your React dashboard 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.
- Live dashboard URL
- GitHub repo (React frontend and/or API server)
- OpenAPI / Swagger spec for your API
- Prompt: which dashboard views become mobile screens
React dashboard backend reality
React admin dashboards and analytics UIs usually talk to a REST or GraphQL API. Paste the dashboard URL for brand context, attach OpenAPI or the frontend/backend GitHub repo, and BuildMyAPK generates a mobile client with login, list, detail, and settings screens wired to the same API.
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 port a complex React dashboard to mobile?
BuildMyAPK adapts desktop layouts to mobile patterns — focused screens and tabs, not a shrunken multi-column dashboard.
Does the mobile app share the same backend?
Yes, when you provide OpenAPI or a repo. The app calls the same API routes with bearer auth.
