Can I design my own Shopify mobile app before committing to anything?

Yes. TicApp's builder lets you assemble a working sketch of your app — your logo, your colours, your home screen sections, your category and product layouts — and send it in as a brief. Nothing is charged and nothing is installed on your store.

Does the app builder connect to my Shopify store?

No. It never touches your store. No API access is requested, no products are imported and no images are taken from your site. The sections you assemble carry our own sample content; only your logo and your colours are yours.

Are the sections real, or mockups?

Real. All 52 sections are cut out of apps TicApp has already built and published to the App Store and Google Play. Anything you assemble is something we have made before.

Why does the builder ask me to register first?

Because what is behind it is our design work. We ask for an email on your store's own domain so we know we are talking to a merchant rather than a competitor, and the designs stay between us and the stores we are speaking to.

How long does it take to design an app in the builder?

About ten minutes. Four steps: your identity, your home screen, your category screen and your product page.

Build your app

A Shopify mobile app builder. Put your logo on it and watch it become an app.

Assemble your home screen from 52 sections we have already built and shipped. Add your colours. Choose how your categories and your product page work. Then send it to us and we will come back to you about the app you just designed.

It is free, nothing is installed on your store, and whatever you make stays yours.

Every section is real. Nothing here is a mockup — each one is cut from an app of ours that is on the App Store today.
Your identity, live. Your logo goes in the header and your colour reaches the app the moment you pick it.
Nothing connects to your store. We do not ask for access to Shopify, your products or your customers. This is a sketch you make, not an install.

We ask who you are because what is behind this is our design work. It stays between us and the merchants we are talking to.

This needs JavaScript switched on. The builder draws your app as you make it, which it cannot do without it. If you would rather not turn it on, email us at mohammad@olapix.com and we will take you through it ourselves.

What you can actually do here

This is a Shopify mobile app builder in the literal sense: you build something and take it away. Nothing connects to your store and nothing is installed.

Create a Shopify mobile app design

Choose the blocks your home screen is made of, then do the same for your category and product screens. Every block is cut from an app we have already shipped, so what you assemble is buildable rather than a mood board.

Turn your Shopify store into an app, on paper first

Put your logo and your brand colour on it and watch the screens change. This is the cheapest possible version of convert-your-Shopify- store-to-a-mobile-app: you see the thing before anybody quotes for it.

Make up to three versions

Three saved designs, so you can compare rather than commit. Send one when you are ready; the others stay yours to keep working on.

Build a Shopify app without coding

No code, no developer, no Shopify permissions. It is a design tool, and the output is a brief a human reads — not a generated app, which is a claim other no-code Shopify app builders make and we will not.

Launch a Shopify mobile app from it

Send the design and we quote against it. From there it is our work: build, submit to the App Store and Google Play, and launch. Your part finished when you pressed send.

Or take it elsewhere

What you make is yours. If you use it as a specification for another studio, that is a legitimate outcome and we would rather you had a clear brief than a vague one.

Not sure whether to build one at all? Compare the three routes first — including the cases where a template app on a subscription is the better answer.
