# Introduction

FluxNative turns a description, a Figma design, screenshots or a template into a real iOS and Android app you can preview, build, publish and export.

![Five screens of FluxNative in turn: the first-app wizard, the editor with chat and preview, the Server window, the Build window, and the Publish steps](https://fluxnative.app/guide-media/introduction.95f25033.webp)

Describe, refine, connect, build and publish, all in one workspace.

## How a project moves

1. **Describe** the app in the dashboard's message box and click **Build my app**. See [Start a project](https://fluxnative.app/docs/start-a-project).
2. **Refine** it in chat, in **Design** or in **Code**. Every change can be undone.
3. **Connect** data, sign-in and purchases under **Server**. See [Server](https://fluxnative.app/docs/connections).
4. **Build** a signed APK, App Bundle or IPA on Creator and up. See [Native builds overview](https://fluxnative.app/docs/builds-overview).
5. **Publish** to TestFlight and Google Play from **Publish**. See [Publishing overview](https://fluxnative.app/docs/publishing-overview).

## Good to know

- You get real native source code you own: a React Native project in TypeScript that you can download any time and build yourself. The [Terms](https://fluxnative.app/terms) say you own the apps FluxNative generates for you; template and component code stays InspireUI's, for use in your apps.
- Free previews your app with 100 credits to start and 500 more when your first build step ends, each valid for 30 days. Signed builds and publishing start on Creator, and downloading the source needs a purchase first: a paid plan (now or before), credits bought on a paid plan, a paid template or the Dev Kit; free credits and credit packs bought on Free do not count. See [Credits and plans](https://fluxnative.app/docs/credits-and-plans).
- Apple and Google charge for their own developer accounts.

**Warning:** Never paste an API key, token or password into chat. Add it under **Server** instead.
