Describe your app. Shipyard generates it, pushes to your GitHub, deploys to your Railway. No lock-in. Ever.
Five steps. You own every one.
Type what you want, like you'd text a friend.
"I want a to-do app" or "a website for my bakery." No tech words needed.
The AI asks a few quick questions, then puts it together.
You'll see it come to life as it's being built — no waiting in the dark.
Click around, change colors, ask for edits in chat.
Don't like something? Just say so. The AI updates it and you choose what to keep.
Every change is safely stored in your own private folder online.
If you ever leave us, your app stays with you. You own it — we just help you build it.
One click and your app is live for anyone to use.
It runs on your own piece of the internet, paid by you. We don't host it — you do.
Steps 1–4 ship today. Step 5 lands soon — until then we walk you through deploy manually.
Everything you expect from an AI builder — plus the part they all skip.
Every line committed to your own repo with full git history. Fork it, clone it, walk away with it.
One-click OAuth connect. We deploy to your Railway account. Your bill, your data, your control.
Plain-English changes. Agent writes, previews, ships. You review and approve.
Walk away whenever. Your app keeps running in your Railway exactly as-is. We're the tool, not the prison.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google — switch providers per request. Bring your own keys or use ours.
Real Docker, real Postgres, real domains. Not toy sandboxes.
Lovable, Base44, Bolt — great tools. But your app lives on their servers.
