Lovable publishes your project to a [url-subdomain].lovable.app address by default, with custom domains on paid plans. Publish it with public access, then paste its live URL into Free App Maker. We build an Android WebView APK — no Lovable credentials or repository access needed.

Lovable's own documentation describes it as a full-stack AI development platform for building, iterating on and deploying web applications using natural language, generating an application with frontend, backend, database, authentication and integrations, all backed by editable code that can be synced to GitHub or GitLab.
The generated stack has moved recently, which matters if you are reading older tutorials. Lovable's FAQ states that new apps created from 13 May 2026 use TanStack Start with server-side rendering, while older projects use React and Vite — with Tailwind for styling either way. The same FAQ says Lovable hosts every published app, giving it a public URL with HTTPS included, delivered from locations around the world with no servers to set up.
That public HTTPS URL is the whole input Free App Maker needs. We are a website to APK converter: we wrap the live address in a signed Android app. Your project keeps living on Lovable's hosting; the APK is a dedicated, installable window onto it.

Device reach at API 21 (99.8%) from apilevels.com, compiled from Statcounter GlobalStats April 2026 data; Android's 68.36% share of worldwide mobile OS use from Statcounter GlobalStats, July 2026 figure, both checked 26 Aug 2026. The build-time figure is our own measurement: median 24 seconds and 9 in 10 builds under 53 seconds over the 14 days to 23 Sep 2026 (operations console).
Android accounted for 68.36% of worldwide mobile operating system use in July 2026, according to Statcounter GlobalStats. If your Lovable app lives only at a URL, reaching it means opening a browser and remembering an address. An installed app is one tap from the home screen, opens full-screen without browser chrome, and can be handed to testers or members as a download link.
Here is the honest part. The APK wraps your live Lovable URL in an Android WebView. Your project has to stay published and publicly reachable for the app to show anything, and the app keeps no offline copy. Anything your pages already do on the mobile web — forms, checkout, sign-in, embeds — should behave much the same inside the app; native-only device APIs that web pages cannot use, such as Bluetooth or background services, are not available to a WebView app either.
Google Play is a separate path, and we will not pretend otherwise: Google's documentation requires an Android App Bundle for new Play submissions, not an APK. The build you get here is for direct installation, testing and sharing. An AAB is included in our Play Store Pack, along with your signing key, a hosted privacy policy, the store graphics and the answers to Google's forms.

No Android Studio, no Gradle, no Java. Use your published website URL, verify your email, and build free. Pay once to unlock the APK download.
In Lovable, click Publish — and Publish changes if you have edited since your last deploy. Lovable's docs are clear that publishing deploys a snapshot and that only the current version goes live, so unpublished edits will not appear in your app. Copy the live address (https://your-app.lovable.app, or your custom domain on a paid plan) and open it in a browser to confirm it loads.
Head to freeappmaker.ai and paste your Lovable URL. Enter a name for your Android app — this is what users will see under the icon on their home screen. Verify your email with the code we send, and optionally upload a square 1024×1024 PNG icon; if you skip it, we generate a clean default icon from your app name.
Verify your email using the code we send. We build a signed Android WebView APK; build time varies. The free preview shows the name and icon only. Pay the one-time unlock shown at checkout to download, then test your site’s important flows on a compatible Android device before sharing it.

Ready to put your Lovable app on Android?
Build Free — Pay to Download →From SaaS founders to educators, an installable Android app reaches places a bookmarked lovable.app tab does not.
You launched on Lovable and have web users — now you want an Android presence without rebuilding anything natively. Because the app loads your published URL, your Supabase database, auth and subscription flows carry on running exactly where they already run. Test the checkout path on a real device before you hand the APK to paying customers.
You designed a product in Lovable and want to see how it behaves as an installed app rather than a tab. An APK lets you put it on real devices and watch what changes — how people navigate without an address bar, how your Tailwind layouts hold up on a mid-range phone — before anyone commits budget to native development.
Your deck says mobile, but you built in Lovable for speed. An APK gives you something installable to hand round at a demo day or drop into an investor update — full-screen, with your icon on the home screen. No developer account, no review queue, and no waiting on a store before you can show it.
Courses and learning tools built in Lovable can be handed to a class as a download link instead of a URL students have to type. It works on school-managed Android tablets that allow installs from your source. Note that the app loads your live site each time, so devices still need an internet connection — it is not an offline copy of your course.
Chrome's own documentation says the WebView component is based on the Chromium open source project and shares the same rendering engine as Chrome for Android, so rendering should be consistent between the two. Here's what that means in practice for a Lovable app.

Competitor figures checked 26 August 2026 against each vendor's own pages: Median.co pricing (Free $0 with a "Powered by Median.co" watermark; Starter $229 one-time licence activation fee plus $179/yr beginning at month 12) — Median.co returns 403 to automated fetches, so this was read in a real browser; WebViewGold ($109 one-time against a $154 list price — a promotional price the vendor's page dated to a sale running until 31 August 2026, so expect it to move; Android Studio template, with a paid Cloud Builder add-on for browser-based compiling); and Capacitor — Android documentation (managed through Android Studio; API 24+ supported). Prices and plan rules change without notice — check each vendor before you buy. Free App Maker's own unlock is priced by country and always shown before checkout.
The technical and strategic advantages that make this the fastest path from Lovable to Android.
Lovable's docs describe publishing as deploying a snapshot: click Publish, then Publish changes, and that version goes live. Because the APK loads your published URL at runtime, app users see it the next time the app loads that page — no APK rebuild and no store resubmission. What stays fixed is what is baked into the APK: name, icon and start URL.
Lovable's Supabase integration covers your database, Auth, Storage buckets, Edge Functions and realtime subscriptions — and the wrapper touches none of it. Nothing is migrated or re-implemented; the app reaches the same backend over the internet that your site already reaches. Lovable's security docs are worth a read first: misconfigured Row Level Security rules are a common cause of data leaks.
Installing Android Studio and waiting on a first Gradle build is a detour before you see any APK at all — Capacitor's own documentation says Capacitor Android apps are configured and managed through Android Studio. Our build runs server-side, so you do not need to install an Android toolchain. Build time varies; download access requires the one-time unlock.
Android scales launcher art across density buckets on a 3:4:6:8:12:16 ratio, so a 48 dp icon needs to exist at 48, 72, 96, 144 and 192 px for mdpi through xxxhdpi. Upload one square 1024×1024 PNG and we generate those densities for you — no Figma export step. Skip the upload and we make a clean default from your app name.

The APK is yours. Free builds carry a small Free App Maker splash screen; the one-time unlock that lets you download the signed APK also removes it, priced by country and always shown before checkout. Share the download link privately, with clients, or with a testing group — there is no store listing in the way.
Our APKs run on Android 5.0 (API 21). Distribution data compiled by apilevels.com from Statcounter GlobalStats puts that minimum within reach of about 99.8% of active Android devices, built from April 2026 figures. The renderer is not frozen at install time either: on Android 7, 8 and 9 WebView is built into Chrome, and from Android 10 it appears as its own separately updated app.
