Glideep is a no-code platform that converts any responsive website into a native iOS and Android app. You enter your URL, configure branding and features through our visual editor, and we build and sign the app using Flutter. No coding, no Mac, no developer tools required.

Any responsive website works — Glide, Bubble, Shopify, Base44, Lovable, Webflow, WordPress, custom SaaS apps, e-commerce stores, membership sites, and more. Your site is loaded inside a native Flutter WebView shell, with native features (push, biometrics, deep links) layered on top.

Most apps are configured in under 5 minutes. Enter your website URL, upload your icon, pick your colors, and hit Build. The CI/CD pipeline (powered by Codemagic) typically completes a build in 10–20 minutes. Submission to the App Store or Play Console takes an additional 1–3 days for review.

Zero coding required. Everything is configured through our visual dashboard — branding, features, navigation, push notifications, authentication, and more. You only need a working website URL to get started.

No. That's one of Glideep's biggest advantages. Our platform uses Apple's App Store Connect API and a Mac virtual machine in the cloud to automatically sign and submit iOS apps. You can build and publish from any device — Windows, Linux, Chromebook, or Mac.

Each build triggers our CI/CD pipeline (Codemagic) to compile your Flutter app and produce a signed output — an APK/AAB for Android or a signed IPA for iOS. Each successful compilation counts as one build. Builds that fail due to a server error on our side do not count against your limit. Unused builds do not roll over to the next period.

Yes. You'll need an Apple Developer account ($99/year) to publish on the App Store, and a Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time) for the Play Store. These are separate from Glideep — they're required so the apps are published under your name. Glideep handles building, signing, and submission.

Glideep uses a Mac virtual machine in the cloud and Apple's App Store Connect API. When you initiate an iOS build, we automatically generate a distribution certificate, create a provisioning profile, sign the IPA, and upload it to TestFlight — all without requiring a Mac on your end. You only need to provide your Apple Developer API credentials (Issuer ID, Key ID, and .p8 private key).

An Android build produces a signed APK (for direct install) and a signed AAB (Android App Bundle, required for Play Console submission). An iOS build produces a signed IPA file, which is automatically uploaded to TestFlight if Auto TestFlight upload is enabled on your plan.

Yes. Changes to your website content are reflected instantly in the app (since it loads your live URL). For changes to native features — splash screen, icons, navigation, permissions — you'll need to trigger a new build and submit an update to the stores. Each update counts as one build.

Glideep offers four plans: Single Platform ($24.99/mo) — Android or iOS with 3 builds/month; Both Platforms ($39.99/mo) — Android + iOS with 3 builds each and priority support; Yearly ($429.99/yr) — both platforms with 35 builds per platform; Lifetime ($699 one-time) — both platforms, 6+6 builds, lifetime support, never expires. See the full pricing page for a feature comparison.

All plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee. If Glideep isn't the right fit within the first two weeks, email support@glideep.com for a full refund — no questions asked.

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your dashboard. When upgrading, you're charged only the prorated difference for the remainder of your billing period. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next renewal cycle.

We accept bKash, Payoneer, Wise, Western Union, Crypto, and Bank Transfer. After payment you upload your receipt and our team manually verifies and activates your plan — typically within a few hours. Contact us if you need help with a specific payment method.

Your published app continues to work for end users — it only loads your website, which is independent of your Glideep subscription. However, you'll lose the ability to trigger new builds, access the visual editor, and use the Glideep dashboard until you renew. The Lifetime plan never expires.

Push notifications are powered by OneSignal. Connect your OneSignal App ID in the dashboard and you can send push messages to your users from the OneSignal console or API. You can define topics so users self-subscribe to relevant segments, and include a deep link parameter to open a specific page inside the app when a notification is tapped.

Enable biometric auth from the dashboard. You can set it to trigger on every app launch, or protect specific URLs (e.g., /account, /checkout). When triggered, the app uses Face ID on iPhone and Fingerprint on Android. A PIN fallback is available if biometrics aren't supported or set up on the device.

Yes. Use the Element Hiding feature to list CSS class names that should be hidden when your site loads inside the app. This is useful for removing your website's navigation bar, footer, cookie banners, or any element that doesn't belong in a native app context.

Yes. Glideep supports RevenueCat integration (connect your API key and product catalog) as well as native IAP via Android SKUs and iOS Product IDs. This lets you charge users directly through the App Store and Play Store billing systems.

You can define a custom URI scheme (e.g., myapp://), host, and path patterns in the dashboard. This means links from emails, QR codes, or other apps can open a specific page inside your app. Glideep also supports iOS Universal Links and Android App Links for standard HTTPS deep linking.

Apps are built with Flutter — Google's cross-platform framework. A Flutter WebView widget loads your website, and native Flutter plugins provide the native features (push, biometrics, deep links, etc.). Builds are compiled via Codemagic CI/CD. The output is a real, production-grade APK/AAB for Android and IPA for iOS — not a PWA or web wrapper.

Yes. The WebView preserves cookies and localStorage, so your website's existing session management works automatically. For extra control, Glideep supports cookie domain configuration and a token sync URL so you can inject auth tokens into the WebView on launch.

Glideep includes an offline cache feature that stores recently visited pages so they can load without a connection. Full offline functionality depends on your website — if your site has a service worker or caches assets, those work inside the app too.

Yes. Use Orientation Rules to define portrait or landscape mode per URL pattern. For example, you can lock */play/* to landscape for video content while keeping everything else in portrait. Rules are evaluated in order — the first match wins.

Email us at support@glideep.com or use the contact form. All plans include email support. Both Platforms, Yearly, and Lifetime plans include priority support with faster response times.

Standard support typically responds within 24–48 hours. Priority support (included on Both Platforms, Yearly, and Lifetime plans) responds within 4–8 hours during business days. Lifetime plan holders receive dedicated lifetime support with no time limit.

Yes — our App Deployment service (part of the Glideep Studio offering) handles end-to-end submission, review prep, and publishing for both the App Store and Play Console. Contact us to discuss a deployment service package.
