Adalo – No‑Code Mobile & Web App Builder
Adalo is a drag‑and‑drop no‑code platform that lets anyone create fully functional mobile apps for iOS, Android, and the web without writing a single line of code. The visual builder provides a canvas where you can place screens, components, and custom actions, while an integrated relational database handles data storage. Once built, apps can be published instantly to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or a custom domain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need any coding knowledge? A: No. All UI elements and logic are built visually. You can add custom code only if you need advanced behavior.
