Build an app with Onplana Maker

All plans Member

Onplana Maker is the standalone app builder built on Onplana. You describe the app you want in plain language, an agent writes it and runs it live in a secure sandbox, and one click publishes it to a shareable onplana.app URL. Unlike a bare chat-window builder, every Maker app sits on a real Onplana project, with a plan, an issue log, and a files area.

Maker is usage-based: free credit to start (up to 7 builds a day on Free), and one credit wallet that builds, AI edits, and hosting all draw from. There are no seats and no subscription required.

Create your first app

Sign up at maker.onplana.com. Email and password or Google / Microsoft sign-in both work, and a Maker workspace is created for you automatically.
Click New project and pick a path:
- Describe an app, the agent builds it right away. You land in the Build view with your description pre-filled.
- Start with a plan, AI drafts the project steps first, and you build later (or never; some projects stay plans).
In Build, describe what you want or pick a starter, then press Build it. The agent writes the app and runs it live in the preview.
Keep talking to refine it: change the colors, make it work on phones, add a feature. Tick Make it better when a change deserves a deeper build (it costs more credit than a quick edit).
When you are happy, follow Go live. Your app publishes to https://<name>.onplana.app, a real URL you can share with anyone. You can roll back to an earlier published version at any time.

The project around your app

Every Maker project has four views:

View	What it holds
Build	The agent, the live preview, and the publish controls.
Plan	A living to-do list. Agreed build steps become checkable items, and the agent ticks off its own work. You can rename, reorder, add steps and substeps, and send any step straight to Build with one click.
Issues	Problems the agent hits during a build land here instead of vanishing into chat history.
Files	Briefs, assets, and reference docs that stay with the project.

Credits, publishing, and hosting

You start with included AI credit and up to 7 builds a day on Free. Every build draws from your credit wallet, top up from $5 on the Billing page. Purchased credit does not expire while your workspace is active.
Publishing is included. Free apps carry a small “Made with Onplana” badge; activating premium hosting removes it. Premium hosting renews from the same credit wallet, if the wallet cannot cover a renewal, there is a grace period before the app returns to the free tier (badge back, still live) or unpublishes. See Keep your app live with premium hosting for the full lifecycle.
The Billing page also has a Get free credit section, share Onplana or follow along on social platforms and claim a small credit reward for each.

When your app becomes a team effort

Maker projects are real Onplana projects. Choose Open in Onplana (from the account menu, or a project’s overflow menu) and the same project opens in the full Onplana workspace, already signed in, with people, timelines, and every other Onplana capability available. Nothing to migrate.

FAQs

Is Maker a separate account from Onplana? No. It is the same account and the same platform, Maker is a focused surface over it. A Maker workspace appears as an organization in the full app.

Do I need to know how to code? No. You describe what you want; the agent writes and runs the code. If you do want the code, you can export it from the Build view.

What happens when I run out of credit? Top up the wallet from $5, claim the free-credit rewards on the Billing page, or upgrade your Onplana plan for a much larger included credit and no daily cap.

Can my whole team use a Maker project? Open it in the full Onplana workspace, that is where teammates, roles, and collaboration live. Maker itself stays a solo, focused building surface.
