Onplana Maker
Describe it. Build it. Ship it.
The AI app builder with a real project plan. Describe what you want, watch the agent build and run it live, and publish to a shareable URL, with a plan that keeps every step honest.
From idea to live URL in three steps
1. Describe it
Type what you want, a retro board, an event signup page, an expense splitter, or paste a screenshot of a design to match. The agent writes the app and runs it live in a secure sandbox. Nothing to install, no code required.
2. Refine it
Watch the live preview and keep talking: change the colors, make it work on phones, add a leaderboard. Quick edits are cheap; flip on "Make it better" when a change deserves a deeper build.
3. Ship it
One click publishes to a live URL on onplana.app that you can share with anyone. Roll back to any earlier version whenever you want.
What can you build?
If you can describe it, Maker can build it. A few things people ship in an afternoon:
Team retro board
Collect wins, misses, and action items, grouped and votable.
Event signup page
An RSVP page with a live headcount and a confirmation screen.
Expense splitter
Log shared costs and settle up who owes whom.
Personal site
A one-page portfolio or link-in-bio you can publish today.
Simple tracker
Habits, inventory, a reading list, anything you need to keep count of.
Quiz or poll
Ask a question, tally the answers, and share the results.
The part other app builders skip
A real plan under every app
Most AI builders give you a chat window and a prayer. Maker is built on Onplana, a project management platform, so every app comes with an actual project: a plan, an issue log, and a files area. You always know what is done, what is next, and what went wrong.
- Every app gets a living to-do list the agent keeps honest, agreed steps become checkable items, and finished work ticks itself off.
- Rename, reorder, and add your own steps and substeps, then send any step straight to the builder with one click.
- Problems the agent hits during a build land in an issue log instead of vanishing into chat history.
- Briefs, assets, and reference docs live in a files area that stays with the project.
Sell from day one
Your app can take money
Sell a file, or unlock a feature once someone pays. You connect your own Stripe account, so the money goes straight to you. Onplana never touches funds, takes no cut, and never holds a key that could move your money.
- Guided setup, no code. Create a payment link in Stripe, paste one value back, and Maker checks live that the connection works before it tells you it is done.
- You pick exactly which of your Stripe products unlocks the app, so a purchase of something else in your account never opens it by accident.
- Selling a file? It stays private until someone pays, is handed only to a buyer whose payment we verified, and is re-checked on every download, so a refund closes access again.
- Buyers who switch device get back in with the email they paid with.
And if payments ever stop unlocking, we email you and flag it in the app. Stripe cannot tell you that, because from its side the charge succeeded.

Safe by design
Sandboxed to build, locked down to ship
Building fast should not mean cutting corners on safety. Every app is isolated while it builds, and what you publish is locked down by default.
Isolated sandbox
Every app is built and runs in its own locked-down sandbox, walled off from other apps and from the wider internet.
Locked-down publishing
Published apps are static, served on their own name.onplana.app address with safe defaults, and every publish is scanned for accidentally exposed secrets.
You stay in control
Roll back to any earlier version, unpublish at any time, and anyone can report an app for review.
When your app becomes a team effort
Maker projects are real Onplana projects. The moment you need teammates, timelines, or governance, open the same project in the full Onplana workspace with one click. Nothing to migrate, it is already there.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe what you want in plain English and the agent writes the app and runs it live. You refine it by talking, not by editing code.
Is it really free?
Yes, you start with included AI credit and up to 25 builds a day, with no credit card. Each build draws the AI tokens it actually uses from your wallet, so a small change costs less than a big one; top up from $5, or upgrade to a paid Onplana plan for more included credit and no daily cap.
How do I share what I build?
One click publishes your app to a live, shareable name.onplana.app URL. Free apps carry a small "Made with Onplana" badge; premium hosting removes it.
Can my app collect form submissions?
Yes, with no backend. Turn on form collection and your app can save what people enter, contact forms, signups, RSVPs, as rows in a list you own. The public side can only add a submission; only you, signed in, can read them.
Can my app show the data it collects?
Yes, a live signup count, a gallery, a leaderboard, still with no backend. You stay in control of what is public: a data view starts as a count only, and no columns become visible until you tick them yourself, with sample values shown before you approve. The AI can build the display but never chooses what goes public.
Can my app accept file uploads?
Yes, still with no backend. Ask for a form with a file field, a job application with a CV, a contest entry with a photo, and each upload lands as a document in a files area only you can open. Uploads are one-way: the app can never read files back, so nothing a visitor sends is ever shown to anyone else.
Can my app take payments?
Yes, using your own Stripe account, on every plan including Free. You create a payment link in Stripe and a guided setup connects it, then your app can sell a file or unlock a feature once someone pays. Money goes straight to you: Onplana never touches funds, takes no cut, and never holds a key that could move your money. Payments are one-time today; subscriptions are not supported yet.
Who owns the apps I make?
You do. It is your app and your project.
What happens when I hit the daily cap or run out of credit?
You can keep planning and refining anytime. For more builds, top up your credit wallet from $5, or upgrade to a paid Onplana plan for a bigger included credit and no daily cap. Purchased credit is valid for 90 days.
Do I get anything for inviting people?
Yes. Every workspace has its own invite link, and when someone signs up on it and actually builds something, you both get a free build credit. It arrives on its own, there is nothing to claim, and credit earned this way never expires.
What makes Maker different from other AI app builders?
A real project plan under every app: a living to-do list, an issue log, and a files area, because Maker is built on Onplana, a project management platform.
Can I show it a screenshot or design?
Yes. Paste or drag an image into the build box and the agent builds to match it, ideal for recreating a UI or matching a look. Your images stay in the project as references and are never shipped inside the published app.
Can my app grow into a team project?
Yes. Maker projects are real Onplana projects, so you can open the same project in the full Onplana workspace whenever you need teammates, timelines, or governance. Nothing to migrate.
