The Complete Creator Guide to gapp.so

What is gapp.so?

gapp.so is a place where you can publish apps that AI built for you and share them with the world.

You know how you can ask Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to build a calculator, a game, a quiz, or a tool? The result works great — but it's stuck on your computer. gapp.so gives it a home on the internet, with a shareable link, a nice landing page, and a spot where people can discover it.

You don't need to know how to code. If an AI tool built it, you can publish it here.

What You Can Do on gapp.so

Here's everything the platform offers, from simplest to most advanced. You don't need to use all of these — start with what makes sense for you.

1. Publish Your App

What: Upload the files that your AI tool created, and get a shareable link like gapp.so/my-app.

How it works:

• Ask an AI tool (Gemini, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to build something for you
• Save the file(s) to your computer
• Go to gapp.so/submit and upload them
• Add a name, description, and category
• Click Publish

That's it. Your app is live. Anyone with the link can use it.

What you get:

• A shareable link you can text, email, or post anywhere
• A landing page that looks professional and shows up in Google searches
• A spot in our gallery where new people can find your app
• A dashboard to manage everything

2. Add AI Features to Your App

What: Make your app smart — let it chat with users, generate stories, create content, or respond to choices. Like building an AI-powered game or tutor.

Why this is special: On gapp.so, your app can use AI for free. No API keys, no credit cards, no complicated setup. The platform handles it all.

How it works:

• Tell your AI coding assistant: *"Add AI features to my app. Here's the guide: https://gapp.so/blog/using-ai-in-your-app#for-ai-assistants"*
• Your assistant reads the technical details and implements everything
• You don't need to understand the code — your AI assistant does it for you

Examples of what you can build:

• A game where characters talk back to you intelligently
• A language tutor that adapts to your skill level
• A creative writing app that generates unique stories
• A quiz that creates new questions on the fly

3. Let Your App Remember Things

What: By default, when someone closes your app and opens it again, everything resets. With gapp.so's built-in storage, your app can remember things — user preferences, high scores, saved progress, and more.

How it works:

• Tell your AI assistant: *"Use gapp.so's state SDK to save user data. Here are the docs: https://gapp.so/ai-sdk-prompt.md"*
• Your assistant will make your app automatically save and load data
• Each user's data is kept separate and private

What can be saved:

• Per user — High scores, preferences, progress (each person sees their own data)
• Per session — Temporary data that resets when the user closes the app
• Shared by everyone — Leaderboards, global counters, shared content

Even simpler: if your app already uses localStorage (your AI assistant probably used it), gapp.so automatically syncs it to the cloud. Your users' data follows them across devices with zero extra work.

4. Earn Money from Your Apps

What: If people love your app, you can earn money from it. gapp.so offers three ways to monetize — and you keep 80% of every transaction.

Receive Tips

• Users can tip you to show appreciation
• Any amount they choose
• Great for free apps that people love

Sell Your AI Prompt

• Sell the prompt you used to create the app
• Other creators can learn from your prompt engineering
• Set your own price

Charge for Access

• Make your app paid — users pay once to unlock it
• Set a free preview duration so people can try before they buy
• Great for premium tools and games

How to set it up:

1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Payouts and connect your Stripe account
2. Go to Dashboard > Edit for any app and configure monetization options
3. Done — you earn money when people pay

5. Track How Your Apps Perform

What: See who's using your apps, how long they stay, where they come from, and whether anything is broken.

Your analytics dashboard shows:

Where to find it: Go to Dashboard, click on any app, then click Analytics.

Traffic Sources: You can also see where your users come from — Google, Twitter, direct links, etc. This helps you understand which sharing channels work best.

6. Test Locally Before Publishing

What: Before you publish (or when making updates), you can test your app on your own computer with all gapp.so features working — AI, data saving, everything.

How it works:

1. Go to Dashboard > Creator Tools
2. Create a key if you don't have one yet
3. Copy the prompt shown in the "Local Development" section
4. Paste it into your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
5. Your assistant will set everything up — you can then test your app locally

Why bother? If you're making updates or building something complex, it's nice to test before going live. But this is totally optional — you can always just publish and update later.

7. Publish from AI Tools Directly

What: Instead of uploading files through the website, your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can publish directly to gapp.so for you.

How it works:

• Tell your AI assistant: *"Publish this app to gapp.so. Here's how: https://gapp.so/blog/publish-gemini-app-guide"*
• Your assistant uses your publish key to upload the app automatically
• No manual file downloading or uploading needed

Where to get your key: Dashboard > Creator Tools — create a key, and your AI assistant can use it to publish on your behalf.

Tips for Being a Great Creator

Make Your App Stand Out

• Pick a clear name — "Quick Budget Tracker" beats "My App"
• Write a good description — Tell people what it does and why they'd want it. Ask your AI tool to help write this!
• Add a cover image — Apps with images get way more clicks. Take a screenshot of your app, or ask an AI to create a cover

Keep Improving

• Check your analytics — See which apps get the most love
• Read the health status — If your app shows yellow or red, something might need fixing
• Update regularly — You can upload new versions anytime without losing your link or stats

Share Your Work

• Share the link — Every app gets a clean URL like gapp.so/your-app
• Post it on social media — Your landing page looks great when shared (with preview cards and everything)
• Tell people about the prompt — If you wrote a clever AI prompt, other creators might want to buy it
