About Thunkable

Overview

Thunkable is a no-code platform that lets anyone turn an app idea into a native iOS and Android app. Its AI Builder generates working apps from plain-language prompts, handling design, logic, and publishing without requiring programming skills. Founded in 2016 by former MIT App Inventor teammates, the company is headquartered in San Francisco.

The platform serves millions of creators across 185 countries, who have built more than 11 million apps. Students, teachers, founders, designers, and large companies use Thunkable to plan, build, and ship mobile apps.
