Documentation

Everything you need to go from idea to published app.

Creator quick start

For non-technical users building apps for their business. No code required.

1
Create an account
Sign up free at chime.studio. No credit card needed.
2
Describe your app
Type what your business needs. "A restaurant app with a menu, table booking, and a gallery" is enough to start.
3
Review the spec
Chime shows you the screens it will build. Adjust in plain language — "add a loyalty card screen" or "remove the gallery".
4
Generate & preview
Hit Generate. A live preview appears in seconds. Click around — it's a real app.
5
Connect a backend (optional)
Want real data? Connect Firebase or Supabase in the Integrations panel. Chime wires it automatically.
6
Publish
Order a Managed Publish (€500). A certified Launch Partner handles App Store + Google Play submission. You own the app.

A foundation is the backend your app connects to. Choose one when you set up your project.

Local

No backend. Mock data only. Perfect for demos and static apps.

Firebase

Auth, Firestore, Storage. Best for most apps. Fully auto-wired.

Supabase

Postgres + Auth. Great for data-heavy apps with relational structure.

Chime generates a standard React Native + Expo app. Publishing options:
