Track how much of your app is actually built

Connect your app

1. 1

   Open Build monitor

   AppLab > Build monitor. Use the app switcher at the top if you're working on more than one app.

   Open Build monitor
2. 2

   Paste the connect block

   Your first prompt already contains it. It makes your app report its own progress back to us, on every change and on start-up.

3. 3

   No buttons needed

   Reporting is automatic. The Sync button is only a spare if you want to force an update.

Reading the page

1. 1

   Percent built

   A plain figure like "40% built, 60% still to go", worked out by comparing your app's manual against what your plan promised.

2. 2

   Missing list

   Every promised feature that isn't in your app yet, each with a ready-to-paste prompt.

3. 3

   Prove-it checks

   Each step has checks you tick only when you can see the thing working. You can't skip ahead on trust.

Understand your own app

The report is the detail. The plain-English tour is the version you can read out to a friend.

1. 1

   Open Understand my app

   AppLab > Understand my app. It says what your app is, what people see, what it remembers, how it takes money, and how it behaves on a phone.

   Understand my app
2. 2

   Listen instead of reading

   Press "Read it to me" at the top and Frank reads the whole tour aloud.

3. 3

   Change anything that looks wrong

   Each card has a button that sends your builder the exact words to change that part. You never have to write the instruction yourself.

4. 4

   Clear the last card before launch

   The final card lists anything unsafe or unfinished, like data nobody has locked down, with a one-tap fix for each.
