Build an app for your local business with AI

Bookings for a salon or barbershop, pre-orders for a bakery or café, a loyalty card your regulars keep on their phone. Describe your business and the assistant writes a native iOS and Android app around it.

Screens a local business app needs

  • Home with your opening hours, location and news
  • Services or menu with prices and photos
  • Booking: pick a service, a staff member and a free time slot
  • Pre-order and pick-up time, with an order summary
  • Loyalty card with stamps or points and rewards
  • My bookings and orders, with cancel and reschedule
  • Account, notifications and contact details

How to build it with FluxNative

  1. Start from a description. Describe your own app in chat and attach screenshots of apps you like or of your own design. You get real native source code you own, in TypeScript. Start a project
  2. Refine it in chat. Ask for one change at a time and watch the live preview update. Every turn lands as a revision you can undo, and the Design tab changes colors, type and spacing without a prompt. Work with the assistant
  3. Connect the backend. Save your Supabase, Firebase or Appwrite credentials under Server once. The assistant then creates the tables, security rules and functions the app needs; it never sees the secret values. Server
  4. Build it and install it. Build a signed APK and install it by scanning a QR code, or build an IPA without a Mac and send it to TestFlight. A build that fails costs nothing. Native builds overview
  5. Publish. FluxNative uploads to TestFlight and Google Play, tracks every store step, and submits for review only after you confirm; the app record is created once in each store console, and Apple and Google decide. Publishing overview

Data and backend

Supabase, Firebase or Appwrite can hold your services, opening hours, bookings and orders, and the assistant creates the tables and the rules that keep each customer's bookings private. Save the credentials under Server once.

If you already take bookings or orders in another system with an API, connect it under Server as your own HTTP or GraphQL API, and the app reads availability and writes bookings through it.

Payments and store rules

An app like this earns through your business, not through app-store sales: the bookings it fills, the orders it takes without a phone call, the regulars it brings back. Most are free to download.

Services people use in person and physical goods are paid at the counter or through a payment provider such as Stripe, not through the App Store or Google Play purchase systems, which are for digital goods and subscriptions.

A first prompt to send

Send it as it is, or change the details to match your idea.

Build an app for my barbershop: customers see our services and prices, book a barber and a free time slot, get a reminder before the appointment, and collect a stamp for every visit, with the tenth haircut free. Show our opening hours and location on the home screen.

Frequently asked questions

Do customers pay through the App Store for a booking or an order?

No. Apple and Google require their purchase systems for digital goods and subscriptions. A haircut, a table or a cake is paid at your counter or through a payment provider.

Can the app show only the time slots that are free?

Yes. The bookings live in your backend, and the assistant writes the screen that reads the free slots and the rule that stops two people booking the same one.

Is there a template for local businesses?

Not yet in the public catalog. Describe your business in chat, or attach screenshots of booking apps you like.

What will you build next?

Start with a prompt or images. No credit card required.
