Overview
Learn how to create new apps and get to know the App Builder.
The App Builder is your tool to develop apps in Heisenware. It complements the App Manager, which is used to manage apps, integrations and your account. The App Builder includes everything to build application logic, integrate and store data, as well as to create user interfaces.
Discover the App Builder
Create a new app
Login to your account, navigate to the Apps
panel and click on the +
in the top bar.

Once created, you can manage the app and start building with the App Builder.
To start building, click on Start App Builder
inside the development card. The App Builder opens and you can start building the app.

App Builder interface
The App Builder combines all components to build apps in just one interface.

Good to know
This is a collection of general App Builder knowledge.
Drag and drop
Drag and drop is crucial when using the App Builder. It allows you to place elements and change their position in both the UI and the flow builder, and also to connect all elements to each other.
Build time vs. runtime
In the context of the App Builder, it's crucial to differentiate between build time and runtime. Build time is when low-code developers design and configure the app using the App Builder, shaping the structure and logic of apps. On the other hand, runtime is the live phase, where the application actively runs, responds to user inputs, processes data, and executes functions, allowing users to interact with the live app.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
Technically, apps built with the App Builder are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). PWAs offer a user experience similar to native mobile apps, combining the strengths of web and mobile application development. They provide several advantages, including:
Improved performance: Fast load times, smooth animations, and responsive interfaces for a seamless user experience.
No installation required: Users can access PWAs without downloading and installing from an app store, reducing friction.
Cost-effective development: Developing a PWA can be more cost-effective than building native mobile apps, as it eliminates the need for separate development for different platforms.
