Deploying your app

When your app is ready, you can put it online in one click, connect your own domain, export the code, or download it.

There are two ways to go live:

1. GenVibe hosting — the fastest path. One click publishes your app to a live genvibe.app link. No accounts, no config.
2. Netlify — connect your Netlify account and deploy there instead.

Publish to GenVibe hosting

The quickest way to share your app. GenVibe builds it and hosts it for you at a live URL — nothing to set up.

1. Click Publish in the top bar. (After a successful build you'll also see a “Publish your app” button right in the chat.)
2. GenVibe builds your app and uploads it to GenVibe hosting.
3. You get a live link like your-app.genvibe.app you can share immediately.

Re-publishing after changes is one click and keeps the same URL. From the Publish menu you can always copy your live link, open it, or update it.

On the Free plan, published apps show a small “Made with GenVibe” badge in the corner. It's removed automatically on any paid plan.

Custom domains

On any paid plan (Standard or Pro) you can connect your own domain — like www.yourbusiness.com — to an app you've published on GenVibe hosting. HTTPS/SSL is set up for you automatically.

Steps:

1. Publish your app to GenVibe hosting first (above).
2. Open the Publish menu → Custom domain.
3. Enter your domain. If you type a bare domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com), pick www. — it's recommended and works on every registrar. (A bare root domain is possible too, but needs a registrar that supports CNAME flattening / ALIAS.)
4. GenVibe shows you the exact DNS records to add — a CNAME pointing your domain to fallback.genvibe.app, plus a one-time record that turns on SSL (and, for a root domain, an ownership record).
5. Sign in to wherever your domain's DNS is managed (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger, Cloudflare, etc.), add the records exactly as shown, and save.
6. Back in GenVibe, click Check status. Once DNS propagates (usually a few minutes), your domain goes Live with SSL — no further action needed.

For a root/apex domain (no www), most providers need you to use Name = @ and to delete any existing A record on the root first (a name can't have both an A record and a CNAME). If your provider doesn't support CNAME flattening, use the www. version instead. To make the bare domain redirect to www, add a free URL redirect (yourbusiness.com → www.yourbusiness.com) in your registrar's dashboard.

Deploy to Netlify

Prefer to host on Netlify? Connect your Netlify account from the deploy menu and click deploy — GenVibe builds and publishes your app to Netlify and gives you a live URL. Re-deploying keeps the same URL. You can then add a custom domain from the Netlify dashboard.

Netlify

Export to GitHub

Push your project to a GitHub repository to take the code with you, collaborate, or set up your own CI/CD. Connect GitHub from the integrations menu, then export.

GitHub

Download the project

You can also download your project as a zip to run locally or host anywhere you like.

Mobile apps

Mobile (React Native + Expo) projects are deployed differently from web apps — export the code to GitHub and use the standard Expo build and submit flow for the App Store and Google Play. See Mobile apps.
