Frequently asked questions
Can an app built with appgnt work without an internet connection?
Yes. Apps designed for personal use store their data directly on your device using local storage or IndexedDB, meaning they work fully offline by default. For shared business tools like warehouse stock counts, the app caches entries locally and synchronises them with the cloud database once a connection returns.
Do my team members need to download the app from an app store?
No. Every app builds as an installable Progressive Web App that users can open immediately in any browser and add directly to their home screen or desktop without using an app store. If you do want native store distribution, the studio also generates ready-to-publish Android APKs, Windows installers, and complete project packages for iOS and macOS.
Can different users see different screens and permissions in the same app?
Yes. When your app requires user accounts, the studio provisions dedicated authentication that separates roles like staff, administrators, and clients. The app then serves different interfaces and enforces database read and write rules based on who logs in.
What happens to my app code if I want to move away from appgnt?
You own the complete source code of your application at all times. You can open the Files pane in the studio and download the entire React, TypeScript, and configuration codebase as a standard zip file, which any competent developer can run and host independently.
Can I run my finished application on my own custom web domain?
Yes. While every app receives a live web address immediately on appgnt.com, you can map your own domain or subdomain to the application directly through the Publish pane. The platform provisions an SSL certificate automatically and serves your app from your chosen address.
