Pack your website into an Android app.

Upload an HTML file or ZIP project, or paste a website link. instApped sets up the Android project, checks it, and builds an APK you can install for testing and an AAB ready for Google Play.

Start with what you already have

If it works in a mobile browser, it can become an app.

An HTML file

A single page with its styles and scripts built in. Good for tools, calculators and small games.

A ZIP project

A full site folder with pages, images, fonts and scripts. It is bundled into the app so it can run offline.

A website link

Any HTTPS site you own or have permission to package. The app opens it with Android navigation built in.

Seven steps, one workspace

The app factory walks you through each step and saves your project in your browser, so you can stop and pick it up later.

What you get

Two files for two jobs, from the same project.

.apk

A test build for your phone

Install it directly on an Android device to try the app the way your users will, before you publish anything.

.aab

A release bundle for Google Play

The format Google Play requires for new apps, targeting Android API 36. Upload it to your own Play Console account to publish.

Offline mode: Bundled pages and saved data keep working without a signal.
Back button: Android's back gesture moves through your pages, not straight out of the app.
External links: Links to other sites can open in the phone's browser.
Downloads and exports: Files and images your site creates save to the device.
Full screen: Hide the status bar for games and immersive pages.
Orientation: Lock to portrait or landscape, or follow the device.
Zoom control: Allow or block pinch-to-zoom.
Launcher icons: Standard and round icons for every screen density.

Checked before it's built

Most rejected builds fail on small things. instApped looks for them first, so a build only starts when the project is ready for it.

Version name and codePresent, and in the form Google Play expects.

Your project, your app

What happens to your files, in plain words.

Saved on your deviceProjects and settings stay in your browser until you send a build or delete them.
Sent only to buildYour source goes to the build service only when you ask for a build, and is processed in private storage.
Never soldWe don't sell your content or personal information, and the factory runs no advertising trackers.

Questions

Do I need to know Android development?

No. instApped prepares the Android project and runs the build in the cloud. You need your web project, an app name and an icon.

What's the difference between the APK and the AAB?

The APK installs directly on a phone, so use it for testing. The AAB is the format Google Play requires when you publish. Both come from the same project.

Can I publish the app on Google Play?

Yes. Upload the AAB to your own Google Play Console account. You publish under your own developer name and are responsible for the store listing, content rating and the privacy disclosures Google Play asks for.

Who owns the app?

You do. You keep the rights to your content and to the app built from it. See the Terms of Service for details.

Will my app work offline?

HTML and ZIP projects are bundled into the app and can run fully offline. Website-link apps need a connection for pages that aren't already cached. You choose the offline setting in step four.

Is there a size limit?

Uploaded HTML and ZIP projects can be up to about 21 MB. Website-link apps have no upload limit, because the site is loaded rather than uploaded.

Can I package someone else's website?

Only if you have permission. Packaging sites or content you don't have the rights to is not allowed. See the Acceptable Use Policy.

Your website is one build away from an app.

Open the app factory and start a new project.
