Turn a website into a mobile app
The author used Replit Agent 4 over about two days and roughly $40 to turn a website into a mobile app with design, preview, and App Store prep, then submitted it for review.
Done withReplit Agent
- What they did
- The author started on Replit by choosing the task to make an app from an existing website, which auto-generated a first code draft and app draft. Then, over about two days, they iterated through chat prompts in plain language while Replit Agent 4 kept revising the code, producing the design, previews, and App Store preparation; the human mainly described changes and submitted the result for review.
- How it went
- They say the first attempt came out surprisingly decent, cost about $40, and was submitted to the App Store for moderation. In a later comment, they said it was live and linked the app, but they gave no performance metrics or deeper details on problems.
- Worth knowing
- Their headline numbers were roughly two days of work and about $40 total.
Try it yourself with Replit Agent
Turn my website at [URL] into a mobile app for [iOS/Android/both]. Match the site's branding, with these main screens: [list, e.g. home, products, contact], and show me a preview I can test. Stop when the app runs in preview and you have a checklist of what I need for store submission, and ask me before spending credits on any big redesign or submitting anything to a store.
