Build your first app

This walkthrough takes you from an idea to a published app you can share — no code, in about ten minutes. You’ll build a simple task tracker, but the same steps work for anything you want to make.

Before you start

You need an Exepad account. Head to app.exepad.com and sign up — the free plan is enough to build, preview, and publish your first app.

1. Describe what you want

On your dashboard, start a new app and describe it in a sentence or two. Be specific about what it does and what it should remember:

“A task tracker where I can add tasks with a title and a due date, mark them as done, and filter to see only what’s left.”

Exepad reads your description and starts building — designing the pages, wiring up the buttons, and setting up a place to store your tasks. A first version usually takes a few minutes.

Say what it stores

Mentioning the information your app should keep — “tasks with a title and a due date” — tells Exepad to give your app a memory, so your data is still there when you come back. Leave it out and you’ll get a simpler page with nothing saved.

2. Review it in the preview

When the build finishes, your app opens in a live preview — a real, working version you can click through. Add a task, mark one done, try the filter. This is exactly how your app will behave once it’s live.

3. Refine by chatting

Nothing is final. Ask for changes the same way you’d talk to a designer, one idea at a time:

• “Make the header dark and add our logo.”
• “Add a priority field — low, medium, high — shown as a colored tag.”
• “Sort the newest tasks to the top.”

Each request updates the app, and you see the result in the preview. Keep going until it feels right.

Small steps win

One clear request per message gives the best results. If something doesn’t come out the way you pictured, just describe the fix — you can always steer it back.

4. Publish and share

When you’re happy, publish. Exepad puts your app online at its own link — your-app.exepad.app — that anyone can open. Made more changes later? Publish again to update the live version, or roll back if you need to.
