What is Adalo?

Key Features
✨ Build Once, Publish Everywhere Develop your application a single time and seamlessly publish it as a responsive website, a native iOS app in the Apple App Store, and a native Android app in the Google Play Store. Adalo handles the platform-specific requirements, allowing you to reach your entire audience without redundant development work.
🎨 True Drag-and-Drop Visual Builder Visually construct your app's interface with complete creative freedom. Unlike builders that rely on restrictive grids, Adalo’s freeform canvas lets you place components exactly where you want them. This what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach ensures your design is pixel-perfect on every screen size.
🛠️ Flexible Data & Powerful Integrations Manage your app's data effortlessly using Adalo's simple, spreadsheet-style internal database. For more advanced needs, you can connect directly to powerful external backends like Xano and Airtable or integrate with thousands of services via APIs and Zapier, ensuring your app can scale and connect with the tools you already use.
✅ Professional Publishing Controls Make changes to your app without disrupting your live users. With manual publishing, you can work on updates and new features in a private draft environment. Once you're ready, you can push the changes live with a click, ensuring a stable and professional user experience.
🧩 Extensible Component Marketplace Enhance your app’s functionality with a growing library of free and premium components built by third-party developers. Add features like PDF generation, advanced charts, calendar views, and payment gateways like Stripe to build a richer, more capable application.
Use Cases:
Launch a New Business Venture: Build a custom booking app for your service business, a food ordering platform for your restaurant, or an e-commerce app for your products. Collect payments, manage users, and get your MVP to market in weeks, not years.
Create Internal Business Tools: Develop a custom CRM to manage client relationships, an internal dashboard to track key metrics, or a project management tool tailored to your team's specific workflow. Streamline your operations with an app built for your exact needs.
Build an Online Community: Launch a members-only social media app, a subscription-based content platform, or a loyalty program for your customers. Foster engagement and provide unique value with a dedicated app experience.
Why Choose Adalo?
Adalo provides distinct advantages that solve common frustrations in the app development process, whether you're using no-code or traditional methods.

Professional, Risk-Free Updates: Adalo’s manual publishing feature gives you a professional development workflow.
