Apirex AI turns your existing website's source code (GitHub URL or ZIP) into a real native Android app. It analyzes routes, screens, APIs, auth and payments, then generates Kotlin + Jetpack Compose.
Founders, indie hackers, agencies and product teams who already have a working web app and want a native mobile presence without rewriting from scratch.
No. Apirex is an AI engineering tool. It writes real, idiomatic Kotlin you can read, edit and own — not a black box.
Lovable builds web apps. Apirex specifically converts existing web apps into real native mobile apps with full source code output.
The generated app code is yours. The Apirex platform itself is closed source for now.
Apirex is built in India and ships globally.
API + Reflex — instant native reflexes around your existing APIs.
Yes — sign up and we'll send a recorded walkthrough plus a sandbox project.
The Free plan gives 30 credits/month and 1 watermarked project — no credit card.
Closed beta is rolling now; public launch is targeted shortly after iOS support lands.
Yes. Apirex generates Kotlin + Jetpack Compose. There is no WebView, no JS bridge, no Capacitor wrapper.
Kotlin, with Jetpack Compose for UI — the same stack senior Android engineers use at scale.
No. We deliberately avoid hybrid runtimes so you get true native performance and platform fidelity.
No. WebView wrappers ship your website inside a browser. Apirex generates native screens, native navigation, and native API calls.
MVVM with Jetpack Compose, Hilt for DI, Retrofit/Ktor for networking, DataStore for persistence, and Coroutines + Flow for async.
Yes — Material 3 themes are wired up with light, dark and system modes by default.
Yes. Web routes are mapped to native deep links automatically.
Yes via Firebase Cloud Messaging — opt-in during setup.
Reads are cached with Room/DataStore where possible. Writes require connectivity unless you customize.
Android 8.0 (API 26) and above by default. Configurable up or down.
On your own machine via the local agent (macOS, Windows, Linux). Source code never leaves your environment.
Privacy, cost, and speed. Your repo stays local; we don't pay cloud build minutes; iteration is faster.
JDK 17, Android SDK + command-line tools, Gradle wrapper, and the Apirex CLI. The installer handles it.
~600 MB for the SDK bundle on first install; subsequent updates are incremental.
Only for the initial SDK install on Windows. Afterwards it runs as a normal user.

First clean build: 4–8 minutes. Incremental builds: 20–60 seconds.
Business plan includes optional cloud builds for teams that prefer it.
A signed .apk (debug or release) and an .aab bundle ready for Play Store upload.
Yes — release builds emit both .apk and .aab.
Not yet. iOS (Swift + SwiftUI) is on the roadmap immediately after Android stabilizes.
Yes — every iOS toolchain requires macOS with Xcode. Android builds work on any OS.
Native Swift + SwiftUI. Same philosophy as Android: no hybrid, no WebView.
No. Once iOS ships, it's included in existing paid plans.
Yes — toggle iOS interest in your dashboard once you're in beta.
A public or private GitHub URL, a ZIP upload, or a deployed website URL (with limitations).
Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Astro, Remix, Angular, plain HTML/CSS/JS, and most SPA/SSR stacks.
Yes via the REST API. We map posts, pages, taxonomies and WooCommerce products.
Yes via the Storefront API. Cart and checkout flows are wired natively.
Yes — point Apirex at your OpenAPI/Swagger spec or let it infer from network traffic.
Not directly. Apirex starts from working code, not designs.
Specify the app path (e.g. apps/web). Apirex scopes analysis to that subtree.
Yes — connect via GitHub OAuth. We only read; we never write to your repo.
No. Repos are processed locally by the agent. Only metadata + planning context goes to AI providers.
Soft limit 2 GB. Larger repos work but planning is slower.
Yes — JWT, session cookies, OAuth (Google, GitHub, SSO), Supabase Auth, Firebase Auth, Clerk, Auth0 are detected automatically.

Yes — native Razorpay Android SDK is wired in for India-first apps.

Run `apirex doctor` — it diagnoses missing SDK components and fixes most issues automatically.

Enable Baseline Profiles — Apirex generates them automatically on Pro and above.
Add font files to `app/src/main/res/font/` and reference them in your Compose theme override.
