✨ Vibes DIY — make apps with your friends, run the front counter

Software is getting weird again. Describe what you want and get a real, live app — fun, done, and alive. Try it now.

Make apps with your friends — or run the front counter. So easy even AI can do it. Describe your app in plain words, it builds instantly, and you keep changing it just by talking to it. Share the link and your friends — or your customers — join right away. No setup, no "wait, let me send you the invite."

Why it's different

• Fun — build for any reason, or no reason at all. Or because the spreadsheet is killing you.
• Done — it's a real app at its own live link, not a prototype. It can take an order — add a payment flow when you wire one up. State is saved automatically.
• Alive — keep talking to it and it keeps changing. So can anyone you share it with.

Seeing a vibe makes you want to change it. Start from someone else's, tweak it to fit you, share it, and the people you share with remix their own version. You're not a user anymore — you're a maker.

What people make

From the group chat to the front counter. A character bot that answers in your voice. A neighborhood resource tracker you share at the next town meeting. A daily-specials board that takes the order. The shared spreadsheet your team fights over, turned into a real app with a form and a dashboard. A booking-and-intake app your clients fill out themselves. Every one is the same move: start, tweak, share, remix.

Yours to control

Private by default — or open to the world. You choose. Keep an app to the people you invite, or publish it so anyone can use and remix it. You set who can read, write, and open it.

Your app's data lives in a centralized cloud database. "Private" means access-gated from other people — not encrypted, and not hidden from the platform.

Open source

The vibes-diy CLI, the use-vibes SDK, and the system prompts behind the generator are open source under Apache 2.0 — published on npm, with their public home at VibesDIY/use-vibes. Read the code, open an issue, send a PR.

Quick Start

1. Try the demo — no setup required.
2. Or build from the terminal: npx vibes-diy login, then npx vibes-diy generate "a scoreboard for our pickup basketball games". The CLI handbook covers the rest.
