Vercel's AI builder that ships full-stack Next.js apps from a prompt

v0 (v0.app) is Vercel's AI-powered app builder. You describe what you want in a chat — a dashboard, a booking tool, an AI-powered product — and v0 generates a working full-stack application built on Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui. You iterate in plain English, preview the result live, and fine-tune the visuals in Design Mode until it's ready to ship.

Shipping is one click: press Publish and choose Publish to Production, and v0 automatically builds and deploys your code to Vercel. The first publish creates a Vercel project with its own permanent production URL — something like your-project.vercel.app — and you can attach a custom domain from the Vercel dashboard. v0 can also sync with GitHub in both directions, or export the code for local development.

That live Vercel URL is the key. Free App Maker is a website to APK converter: paste the production URL of your deployed v0 app, and in about 60 seconds you get a signed Android APK your users can install like any other app. Under the hood it's the same URL to APK pipeline we run for the other builders we support — if it's live on the web, it can be an Android app.

A browser tab is not a place on someone's phone

Your v0 app is polished and live on Vercel — but it lives only in a browser tab. There is nothing to hand out, nothing to push through a device-management system, and nothing to list. A browser shortcut isn't a file you can send someone; an APK is.

An Android APK closes that gap. Users install it once, tap the icon on their home screen, and your app opens without a URL to remember or browser chrome in the way. Because the APK wraps your live URL in a WebView, the interactive parts of your web app keep working; just know the site must stay online, and native-only device APIs aren't automatically available.

For startups and indie founders, distributing via Android APK also means you can reach users through direct download links, beta testing groups, or enterprise MDM systems — without waiting for Play Store approval. Share an APK link and anyone on Android can install it directly.

Convert Your v0 App to Android in 3 Steps

No Android Studio. No Gradle. No Java. Deploy to Vercel first, then paste your URL — your APK is ready in about a minute.

Publish your v0 app to Vercel

In v0, click Publish in the top-right and choose Publish to Production. v0 builds and deploys your code to Vercel automatically. Copy the production URL; it looks like https://your-project.vercel.app, or use your custom domain if you've attached one. Check the URL opens in a private browser window — if Vercel's deployment protection is enabled, disable it so your app's users can reach it.

Configure your Android app

Paste the URL into Free App Maker. Enter a name for your Android app (this appears under the home screen icon) and your email address. Optionally upload a square 1024×1024 PNG icon — if you skip it, we generate a clean default icon automatically from your app name.

Download and install your APK

Free App Maker wraps your v0 URL into a WebView APK and signs it in about 60 seconds. Your signed APK is delivered on your build screen — with any one-time unlock and its exact price always shown before you pay. Open it on any Android device, tap Install, and your v0 app runs as a standalone app with its own home screen icon — just like any other Android application.

Who Converts v0 Apps to Android?

From solo founders to enterprise teams, converting a v0 app to Android opens distribution channels the web alone can't reach.

Startup Founders & Indie Hackers

You prompted your MVP into existence in v0 and published it to Vercel in an afternoon. Converting it to an Android APK lets you distribute it to beta users directly — no Play Store listing required yet. Share the APK link in your Discord, Reddit post, or Product Hunt launch and get feedback from real Android users.

Agencies & Freelancers

Your client asked for an Android app on top of the web version you built in v0. Converting the live Vercel URL to an APK gives you an installable Android build to show in minutes rather than weeks. Bring it to the client meeting, and plan the Play Store path — which needs an AAB — separately, when they're ready to launch officially.

Students & Hackathon Teams

If your hackathon asks for an installable build alongside the web demo, publishing your v0 project to Vercel and converting it to an APK takes minutes and gives your team a real Android entry to hand the judges.

Enterprise Internal Tools

Internal dashboards, field-worker tools, and admin panels built in v0 can be distributed as APKs through your company's Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. No Play Store account or listing needed — deploy directly to company-managed Android devices.

What Works — and What to Test First

Free App Maker uses a full Android WebView, so most modern web features behave much as they do in Chrome on Android. Here's a practical breakdown for v0 projects — remember the APK loads your live site, so it needs your deployment online and an internet connection.

✅ Works out of the box

  • Next.js pages, React Server Components, and client components — v0's default output
  • Tailwind CSS styling and shadcn/ui components
  • Next.js API routes and Server Actions (they run on Vercel's servers, not on the phone)
  • Streaming AI responses built on the AI SDK — it's HTTP under the hood
  • REST API and GraphQL calls to any backend
  • Auth flows with email and password
  • WebSocket connections over wss://
  • Stripe payment flows and Stripe Elements
  • File uploads and downloads
  • Responsive layouts optimized for mobile viewports

⚠️ Test before sharing widely

  • Vercel deployment protection — a protected URL can't be opened by your app's users; keep the production URL public
  • The "Built with v0" badge — shown by default on free-plan deployments; visitors can close it, and paid v0 plans can disable it in Project Settings
  • Google OAuth sign-in — it hands off to the device browser rather than running inside the app, which adds a step; test the round trip before sharing widely
  • Magic-link and email-link sign-in — the link may open in the device browser instead of the app; test how the session carries over
  • Camera and microphone access — requires explicit permission prompts in AndroidManifest
  • PWA install prompts — suppressed inside a WebView (expected behavior)
  • Native-only device APIs (Bluetooth, contacts, background services) — not automatically available in a WebView

6 Reasons v0 Builders Choose Free App Maker

Beyond the speed, there are real technical and strategic advantages to converting your v0 app with us.

Live updates — no new APK needed

Because the APK loads your live production URL at runtime, changes you publish from v0 to Vercel show up in the Android app the next time it loads. No app store review, no new build, no forced update prompt for users — just open the app and get the latest version.

Signed APK — install it and share it directly

The APK you download is digitally signed, which is what makes it a valid package Android will install and can upgrade in place later. Sideloading still shows the usual "unknown sources" prompt and Play Protect check — that's Android, not your build. For a Play Store listing, Google requires an AAB; we can prepare one on request.

Server-side builds in about a minute

Installing Android Studio, the SDK and a working Gradle setup is a project of its own before you compile anything. Free App Maker's build pipeline runs server-side in optimized containers and delivers your APK in about 60 seconds, so trying a new app name or icon is a quick loop rather than a rebuild.

Launcher icons at every density

Free App Maker generates your launcher icon at every screen density Android needs, from 48×48 up to 192×192 px, out of a single 1024×1024 PNG. No Figma, no Photoshop, no manual export. We generate a default icon if you don't have one.

No lock-in — the APK is yours to keep

The APK you download belongs to you: no watermark and no attribution requirement, and the one-time download unlock also clears the small Free App Maker splash screen from the apps you build. Re-sign it with your own keystore, distribute it from your own website, or send it straight to clients.

Runs on Android 5.0 and above

Our APKs target Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and above. Whether your users are on budget Samsung handsets or Pixel flagships, the Android System WebView that renders your app is kept up to date through the Google Play Store on devices that have it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting a v0 app to an Android APK.

Does Free App Maker work with v0 (v0.app) apps?
Yes. Any v0 app that has been published to Vercel and has a public URL — whether on a vercel.app subdomain or a custom domain — can be wrapped as an Android APK. Free App Maker loads your deployed v0 app inside an Android WebView, so the interactive experience works the same way it does in a mobile browser, in most cases.
Do I need to deploy my v0 app to Vercel before converting it?
Yes — deploy first, then convert. The APK wraps a live URL, so your app needs a public production address. In v0, click Publish and choose Publish to Production; v0 automatically builds and deploys your code to Vercel, and the first publish creates a Vercel project with its own production URL. Use that production URL (or your custom domain) in Free App Maker — not the in-editor preview, which is only meant for you while you build.
Will my app's server-side features — Next.js API routes, Server Actions, AI responses — keep working in the APK?
Yes. Server-side code runs on Vercel's infrastructure, not on the phone. The Android WebView simply loads your live site over the internet, so API routes, Server Actions, streaming AI responses, database queries, and authentication flows behave the same way they do in a mobile browser, in most cases. Usually no changes to your v0 project are needed.
Does the Android app auto-update when I republish in v0?
Yes. Because the APK loads your live production URL at runtime, changes you publish from v0 to Vercel show up in the Android app the next time it loads — no new build, no new APK required. Users just reopen the app to get the latest version. This is one of the biggest advantages of the WebView approach for actively developed apps.
Can I do this entirely on free plans (v0 Free + Vercel Hobby)?
For a personal project, yes. v0's Free plan is $0 and includes $5 of monthly credits with a 7-message-per-day limit, and it can deploy apps to Vercel. Vercel's Hobby plan is free and aimed at personal projects, with one restriction worth knowing: it is limited to non-commercial use, so a commercial app should run on a paid Vercel plan. On the Free App Maker side, building and previewing your Android app is free; downloading the signed APK is covered by a one-time unlock, with the price always shown before checkout.
Is Free App Maker completely free? Any hidden costs?
It is free to start — no account, no credit card, no subscription. You paste a URL, enter your email, and your app is built free. Downloading the signed APK is covered by a one-time unlock — priced by country and always shown before checkout — which also removes the small Free App Maker splash screen from every app you build.
Will the 'Built with v0' badge show up inside my Android app?
If your deployed app displays it on the web, it will also display inside the APK — the WebView loads your site as it is served. The badge appears in the bottom-right corner of deployed v0 apps and is shown by default for free-plan users; visitors can close it on any page, and paid v0 plans can turn it off in the project settings. It is a v0/Vercel setting — not something Free App Maker adds or controls.
Can I upload the APK to Google Play Store?
The APK you receive is built for direct installation and testing — install it on any Android device or share the download link with your users. Google Play is a separate path: new app submissions require an AAB (Android App Bundle) rather than an APK, plus Google's own developer registration and review. If a Play listing is your goal, our team can prepare the AAB and help with publishing — reach out via our contact form.
What is the minimum Android version the APK supports?
APKs built by Free App Maker target Android 5.0 (Lollipop, API level 21) and above. The Android System WebView, the rendering engine that runs your v0 app, is kept up to date through the Google Play Store on devices that have it, so it keeps pace with modern web APIs.
Does the app work offline?
The APK wraps your live URL, so an internet connection is required — the same as visiting your site in a browser. If your Vercel deployment is paused or offline, the app cannot load new content until it is back. Interactive web features generally work, but native-only device APIs (like Bluetooth or background services) are not automatically available in a WebView. If your web app caches content with a service worker, some previously loaded screens may still appear, but you should treat the app as online-first.
