AppBlips is a free and open-source AI app builder that runs on Windows and Linux, uses the MIT license, has no account system, no credit threshold, and fully public code.
AppBlips is a desktop application, projects are stored in local folders, AI provider credentials are kept in the operating system keychain (Windows Credential Manager / Linux Secret Service), and projects remain usable after going offline.
AppBlips export supports two modes: simple apps are exported as a self-contained single HTML file (HTML/CSS/JS all inlined), while complex apps generate a standard multi-file project, some built with Preact.
AppBlips has a built-in visual point-and-click editing mode that can modify elements directly without calling AI; point-and-click editing is completely free with no usage limit, and any element can be selected to have AI modify only that part.
AppBlips uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model, supports connecting to OpenAI, OpenRouter (which can access Claude, Gemini, etc.), DeepSeek, Z.ai, local Ollama models, or any service compatible with the OpenAI interface, and does not charge credit markups.
Every generation and modification in AppBlips is saved as a snapshot, supporting undo/redo rollback to historical versions.
AppBlips supports building projects by attaching reference images, and can generate results that match designs, screenshots, or sketches.
AppBlips provides two focused workspaces, App Studio (interactive tools, dashboards, and browser games) and Website Studio (content-first websites), along with a device toggle button to check responsive layouts.
All apps built with AppBlips are PWAs out of the box, can be installed on phones and used offline, require no submission to the App Store or Play Console, and involve no Apple developer fees or platform commissions.
Generated applications can call AI themselves through the built-in blip.ai.text() API, using the provider the user has already configured.
