Get your app into the App Store without hiring a dev team
Yani is an AI mobile app builder. You describe the app you want in plain words — the screens, what it should do, how it should look — and Yani builds it as a native mobile app with Expo, then submits it to the App Store and Google Play for you.
Why does a mobile app still feel out of reach?
You've probably priced it out. An agency quotes a painful number, a freelancer quotes a timeline measured in months, and both want a spec document you don't know how to write. So the app stays an idea, and your customers stay on other people's apps.
An AI mobile app builder closes that gap: it turns a plain-language description into a working app. Yani goes further than generating code for you to figure out — it plans the build, shows you the plan, then does the work itself in its own sandboxed computer while you watch. When the app looks right, it goes to the stores.
What does Yani build into your app?
Screens from a sentence
Tell Yani what each screen shows — a menu, a booking form, a profile page — and it designs and builds them. You refine by replying, not by learning a design tool.
Behavior, not just mockups
Describe what happens when someone taps, signs in, or places an order, and Yani builds that logic. The result does real work — it is not a click-through prototype.
Native, built with Expo
Yani builds on Expo, a professional mobile toolchain. Your app installs from the stores, gets its own icon, and runs on the phone like any app people download.
Submitted to both stores
When you are happy, choose Submit to App Store or Submit to Google Play. Yani handles the build and the submission, so launched means listed — not sitting in a folder.
How does Yani build a mobile app?
- Describe your app — In Arabic or English, tell Yani what the app is for, who uses it, and what the main screens do. No spec document — a chat message is enough.
- Watch it get built — Yani turns your description into a plan you approve, then builds screens, logic, and design in front of you. Reply at any point to change colors, flows, or copy.
- Submit to the stores — Review the finished app, then pick Submit to App Store or Submit to Google Play. Yani ships the Expo build, and people can install your app.
What does Yani replace?
| Hiring it out | Building with Yani | |
|---|---|---|
| Explaining what you want | A spec, meetings, revisions | A chat message, in Arabic or English |
| First working version | Weeks to months | One sitting — you watch it get built |
| Changing your mind | A ticket and an invoice | A reply in the same chat |
| Store submission | Another handoff, another wait | A button inside Yani |
| Who owns the code | Read your contract | You do — export it anytime |
Can Yani build my app in Arabic?
Yes — Arabic in Yani is a first language, not a translation layer. The whole product works in Arabic, right to left, so you can describe your app in the language you actually think in. Ask for an Arabic interface, an English one, or both, and the screens follow. For MENA founders, that means an app that speaks to customers in their own language from the first screen.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the app in plain words and Yani writes the code, designs the screens, and builds the logic. If you can explain your idea to a friend, you can explain it to Yani — in Arabic or English. There is no editor to learn and no spec to write.
Does Yani really submit my app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. Yani builds your app with Expo and submits it to both stores from inside your workspace — the actions are Submit to App Store and Submit to Google Play. You review the finished app first; nothing reaches a store until you choose to send it.
Is it a real app or a website in a wrapper?
It is a native mobile app built with Expo. It installs from the App Store or Google Play, has its own icon, and runs on the phone like any app people download. Yani can build a matching website too, but the mobile app stands on its own.
Who owns the app and the code?
You do. Everything Yani writes is yours, and you can export the full code at any time — no lock-in, no proprietary formats. If you later bring on a developer, you hand them a codebase, not a login to someone else’s platform.
How much does it cost to build an app?
You can start for free. YaniLite, the free build engine, costs nothing, and paid plans start at $20 a month with a monthly credit allowance that builds draw from. You see your usage as you go, and you can cancel anytime.
What if the first version isn’t what I pictured?
You tell Yani, and it changes it. Building is a conversation: ask for a different layout, new colors, or an extra screen, and the app updates in front of you. Version control lets you roll back any change. And honestly — Yani is an AI and can make mistakes, so review your app before you submit it.
