Ambient Apps
For small businesses

Your website, as an iPhone app.

Ambient Apps turns your site into a real App Store app with push notifications, a tab bar and more, then publishes it under your own Apple Developer account.

Free to design and previewNo card needed

How it works

From website to App Store in four steps

A setup guide walks you through each one, and the preview is free.

  1. Paste your website

    Start with your site's address. We read its name and colour to get you started.

  2. Design your app

    Pick colours, a tab bar and native features, and watch the live preview change as you go.

  3. Connect your Apple account

    Your app is published under your own Apple Developer account. We guide you through the key.

  4. We build and submit

    Your app goes to TestFlight for you to try, then to Apple's App Review when you approve.

Why Ambient Apps

A real app, without the app project

You're the publisher

The app lives in your own Apple Developer account, under your name, and stays there.

More than a website

Push notifications, a tab bar, haptics, sharing and an offline screen help your app pass Apple's review.

Always up to date

The app shows your live website, so changes to your site appear in the app straight away.

Listing written for you

AI drafts your App Store listing from your site. Nothing is published until you approve it.

A refundable setup fee

The one-time $99 setup fee is fully refundable until your first build reaches TestFlight.

Help when you need it

A help center with an AI help chat, and email support that answers within 2 business days.

My site doesn't show in the preview. Is that a problem?

Some websites don't allow being shown inside other websites, so the preview shows a summary card instead. Your real app loads your site directly and isn't affected. Read more about my site doesn't show in the preview. is that a problem
