Researched and fact-checked by Bartu Cavusoglu · Updated October 26, 2026
Thunkable is a no-code platform for building native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Users describe the app they want in a chat prompt, and the AI Builder generates the design, logic and features. The result can then be adjusted through further prompts, visual editing or direct code changes.
The company says its co-founders came from the MIT App Inventor team and launched Thunkable in March 2016 to make app development accessible to more people. The homepage reports 11 million apps created, 5 million users and 185 countries. Thunkable targets operations teams, founders, designers, agencies, product and IT teams, and educators.
The workflow begins with a prompt. The AI Builder handles the first project generation and later feature updates, so a project grows through conversation. Discuss Mode adds a planning layer: it helps users plan a project, troubleshoot issues and walk through code changes when they want more control.
Builders who prefer hands-on editing can use the visual editor or the code editor, which combines AI with direct edits. Apps can be tested live on a phone. When the app is ready, it is published to Apple's App Store and Google Play from the Thunkable platform, so no separate submission toolchain is described.
Beyond the AI Builder, Thunkable includes image generation so new apps launch with built-in visuals, which can be replaced from Unsplash or with uploaded images. Version history lets a builder revert to a previous version if a change goes wrong, which is useful when iterating with prompts.
Native capabilities are a stated differentiator. Thunkable's Operations page says apps can access location data, take pictures and use sensors that web apps cannot support, and can capture data offline and send it once a connection is restored. Notifications, work order updates and workflow triggers can also run from the mobile app.
