Want an app? Write it in Bangla and the AI builds it
No coding and no software to install. Write in Bangla what the app should do and the AI builds it; install it on your phone, or turn it into an Android app.
- Make an accounts app for our savings group: a tick for who paid each month's dues, a list of expenses, and a month-end statement to post in the group.
- I teach two batches. Make an app for the students' attendance and for who has paid this month's fee, with big buttons I can tick with one hand.
- Make a stock app for a pharmacy: the medicine's name, how many are left, when it expires, and the ones running low shown in red.
Do you need coding or special software to make an app?
No. This is the website that makes the app: open it in your phone's browser and write in Bangla what the app does, who uses it and what it keeps track of. In a few minutes the AI builds it; it installs on the phone's home screen and, once opened, opens without the internet too. From the live app you can also get a signed Android app, the first one free.
How to make an app: three steps
- Write what the app does: Who uses it, what gets written down (names, money, dates) and which totals or reports it shows.
- Try it and ask for changes: In a few minutes the app is on the screen. Enter a few records yourself, then say in the chat what to change, one thing at a time.
- Publish and put it on your phone: Press Publish, open the address on your phone and add it to the home screen. For a real Android app file, build one from the same live app.
No app-making software to download
Ask how to make an app and you usually hear: you need a computer, you have to learn programming or hire a developer, and getting onto the Play Store is another hassle. For something small, like a shop's credit book or a savings group's accounts, that is a very long road.
Here the app is made from your phone's browser, by writing in Bangla. It opens from a link, runs on old and cheap phones, and sits on the home screen as an icon. Looking for an app that makes apps? Put BanglaCodes itself on your home screen; there is nothing else to download.
Which apps you can make
Each of these has a card in the ready-made prompts list, or you can ask for it in your own words:
- Income and expenses: daily income and spending, monthly totals and profit, a simple chart. For a shop's book with customer credit, see the accounts book
- Invoices and receipts: enter items and prices, the total adds itself up, then PDF or print
- Attendance register: tick each day, and at month end everyone's total and percentage
- Result sheet: enter marks and get grades, GPA and rank by Bangladesh's rules, with a printable marksheet for each student
- Habit tracker: a daily tick for prayer, study or a walk, and how many days in a row
- Converter: length, weight, temperature and land measures, from shotok to katha and bigha
- Prayer times: pick a district for today's five prayers, worked out inside the app
- Savings group accounts: who paid dues in which month, expenses and the fund, with a month-end picture or PDF for the group
- For play, there is a separate page for making a game
Where an app keeps its records
Know this first. By default whatever the app records stays in that phone's browser. Open it on another phone and the book is empty, and clearing the browser's data or losing the phone loses the records. So download a CSV or backup file now and then; ask for that button when you build and it is part of the app.
For the same records on two phones, or for a staff member to see the same book, turn on cloud data on the Business (14,499 BDT) or Commerce (23,999 BDT) plan. The records are then kept on our servers, and whoever has the passcode sees the same book from any phone. How to switch it on is in the cloud data guide.
Installing the app on a phone, and the Android app
Open the published app in Chrome on an Android phone and add it to the home screen: it sits there with its own icon and name and opens full screen. Installing does not work from the preview share link, so publish first.
For a real app file, build a signed Android app from the live app: an .apk to install on phones and an .aab for the Play Store. The first app is free, then 10,000 Token a build. You can send the .apk to customers on WhatsApp as a Document. The app opens your live site, so whatever you change later reaches it as soon as you publish again.
What it costs to make an app
Building, changing, publishing and installing on a phone are free, within up to 400,000 free AI Token a day, at your-name.banglacodes.app. The first Android app is free too.
Money comes in for extras: 10,000 Token for each later Android build, lifetime hosting at 6,999 BDT once to run on your own domain, and the Business or Commerce plan for the same records on every phone. The Play Store developer account fee is Google's, and separate. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Apps that cannot be made here
- A separate login and account for every user
- Regular notifications in the background while the app is closed, as in ride or delivery apps
- Deep access to the phone: reading SMS, the call log, Bluetooth or location in the background
- Taking payment inside the Play Store, or running your own server and database
- If any of these is the app's main job, talk to an Android developer
What to write for a good app
- Who uses it: you alone, your staff or students; on a phone or a computer
- What gets written down, such as names, mobile numbers, amounts and dates
- Which totals or reports you want: today's, this month's, who owes how much
- Build the most needed part first, and once it is in use, add the rest one piece at a time
Questions about making an app
How much does it cost to make an app?
Building, publishing and installing on a phone are free, and so is the first Android app. Each later Android build is 10,000 Token. Running it on your own domain takes lifetime hosting, 6,999 BDT once, for life.
Can I make an app on my phone?
Yes. Writing, building, trying it out and publishing all happen in the phone's browser. No computer and no software needed.
What do I need to make an app?
A browser on a phone or computer, a free account, and a clear description in Bangla of what the app should do. The AI does the rest; no coding and no software to download.
Can I put the app on the Play Store?
Yes. Building an Android app from the live app gives you the .aab file the Play Store wants. You upload it to Play Console from your own Google Play developer account; Google charges a one-time fee to open one and reviews the app before it goes out.
Can the app's records be seen on another phone?
By default the records stay in the browser of the phone they were entered on. For the same records on two phones, turn on cloud data on the Business or Commerce plan, and any phone with the passcode sees the same book.
Will the app work without the internet?
Once opened with a connection, the app is stored on the phone and opens without one, and entering and reading records keep working. Sending a form or fetching anything new needs the internet. If it does not open offline, ask in the chat for it to work offline.
Will the app work on an iPhone?
Yes. On an iPhone, open the app's address in Safari and choose Add to Home Screen from the share button, and the icon appears. There is no separate app file for iPhones.
Can an app made with AI be changed later?
Yes. Say in the chat, in Bangla, what to change, then publish again. People who installed it get the new version the next time they open it, with no reinstall.
