About Adalo
Adalo lets people build mobile and web apps without writing code. You lay out screens on a multi-screen visual canvas, add components such as lists, forms, charts and chat, and link them to data. One build can be published to the Apple App Store, Google Play and a custom web domain.
Each app gets a hosted Postgres database, and apps can also use external data such as Airtable or Google Sheets. In 2026 Adalo added an AI assistant called Ada for prompt-based building and editing, a ChatGPT integration, Google sign-in, and a Publishing Studio that prepares store screenshots, privacy policies and listing details.
Adalo launched publicly in November 2019. The company says more than 1 million apps have been created on the platform. It has been used for mobile MVPs, community apps and simple marketplaces by founders and small teams who don't write code.
