GuidesSharing & Remixing

Sharing & Remixing

Publishing gives your app a link anyone can install. Beyond that, you control who can use the app, whether others can remix it into their own copy, and you can duplicate your own apps as starting points.

Who can use your app

Open an app's Access settings from the dashboard. Two choices shape how the app is shared:

Data mode

  • Personal: each user has their own private data. Two people using the app never see each other's entries.
  • Collaborative: users share data with each other, for apps like team trackers or shared lists.

Access control (for collaborative apps)

  • Open: anyone with the link can sign up and use the app.
  • Managed: invite-only. You invite people by email and only invited users can access the app.

Managed apps have a members list: invite people as a member or an admin, and remove them at any time.

Let others fork your app

Forking gives someone their own copy of your app: the code, configuration, and modules, set up as a new app they own and can edit. Your original is untouched, and the dashboard shows you the forks made from your app.

Who can fork follows your access settings: on an open app, anyone using it can fork it. On a managed app, forking requires an invite. Fork invites are share codes you create for exactly this, and they can carry an expiry date and a maximum number of uses.

Duplicate your own app

Use Duplicate in an app's dashboard menu to clone one of your own apps, including its code, assets, modules, and configuration, as a new app. Useful for spinning off a variant without touching the original.
