## Pages

- [Build an app of your own, on your own | Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/): Describe an app in plain words and build a real one: its own Postgres, workflows and screens, live on a domain you own. The first one is free.
- [About Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/about): Orbit turns a plain-language idea into a real, AI-native product you launch on your own domain.
- [Orbit articles — what we have worked out so far](https://orbitapps.io/articles): What we have learned building an AI-native app platform, written down while it is still true.
- [Apps you can build with AI: sites, tools, APIs | Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/build): The apps you can build with AI on Orbit: a website, a tool for your team, a full product, a REST API, or an Android build, every one on the same real backend.
- [Build an app from Claude, Codex, WhatsApp, or the browser | Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/build-from): Four ways to build an app on Orbit: Claude, Codex, WhatsApp, and the browser studio. Every one edits the same app.
- [Build an app programmatically over REST | Orbit API](https://orbitapps.io/build-from/api): Build an app programmatically: the Orbit REST API treats apps as HTTP resources, so you POST to create one, PATCH to change it, and call deploy to put it live.
- [Build an app with Claude, backend included | Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/build-from/claude): Connect Orbit to Claude and build a hosted app from the chat: screens, data, backend logic, and launch all stay in Orbit.
- [Build an app from the command line with the Orbit CLI](https://orbitapps.io/build-from/cli): Build an app from the command line: create it, apply changes, deploy and read the logs without leaving your terminal. Scriptable, and it drives the same app.
- [Build an app with Codex, backend included | Orbit](https://orbitapps.io/build-from/codex): Connect Orbit MCP to Codex and build a hosted app from the chat: screens, data, backend logic, and launch all stay in Orbit.
