Glide: Build custom no-code apps with Google Sheets

Glide Freemium Beginner

This is the tool your short answer names, straight from the source. Glide reads the headers of your Google Sheet and generates a working mobile app around them, so you point it at a tidy sheet and get screens, lists, and detail pages back. Start here to see how little sits between your data and a shippable app.

  • Two clicks connect a Google Sheet as your live backend
  • Glide auto-builds screens from your column headers
  • The free tier is enough to ship a first version
