appTown documentation
appTown is a no-code app builder. You turn a spreadsheet, a paper form or "the way we do things" into an app that works on computers, tablets and phones, and share it with exactly the people who need it. You can use AI for any step, or do every step yourself.

#Start here
- Build your first app: a step-by-step walk-through, from an empty app to one your team uses.
- Key ideas: apps, tables, records, views, automations, roles, the draft and publishing, in one page.
- appTown on your phone: using apps on the go.
#Build
| Topic | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| The builder | the editor, the live preview, and how building works |
| Tables and fields | how data is stored, field settings, required/unique/validation |
| Field types | every type of field and what it holds |
| Views and the menu | the screens of your app and its menu |
| View types | table, list, cards, kanban, calendar, map, chart and the rest |
| Expressions | formulas, defaults, validation, filters and conditions |
| Automations | do work when something happens: emails, messages, integrations, AI |
| Roles and security | who sees and changes what |
| Sharing | groups, access levels and owners |
#Connect other systems
| Way in | Who it acts as | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| REST API + API key | you, with exactly your permissions | your own code, scripts, other services reading and writing records |
| Automation API | you (the API key's user) | "do this" endpoints you build as automations |
| MCP + API key | you | AI assistants and agents |
| Incoming webhook | the automation (no appTown account needed) | services that can only call a URL, such as payment or form providers |
