Glide — Build mobile and web apps from a spreadsheet — AI Builder generates schema and UI from a brief. Turns Google Sheets and other spreadsheets into functional mobile and web apps without writing code.
About Glide
Glide is a no-code app builder that turns Google Sheets and other spreadsheets into working mobile and web apps.
Its AI Builder generates app schema and UI components from a natural-language brief, and a visual editor lets non-developers design layouts, configure data, and set up business logic. Published apps run on iOS, Android, and the web from a single project.
It fits non-developers and teams building internal or lightweight apps on top of spreadsheet data, and it is beginner-friendly. The trade-offs: the free tier limits apps, data rows, and active users; apps are hosted on Glide's infrastructure with no self-hosting; and spreadsheet-sourced data limits scalability compared with a dedicated database.
Among no-code builders, its niche is the spreadsheet-to-app path rather than building on a full backend database.
