Build native mobile apps the way you build for the web. Send markup from your server, get a real app on the phone. Camera, storage, buttery animations — all of it.

The playground

Write some HAM in the browser,<br>see it instantly on your phone.

A clean editor, big type, the five colors. No install, no account.

1 &middot; write

HTML-like tags in a clean editor. If you know HTML, you already know most of it.

2 &middot; publish

Press Publish and get a five-letter code, like 7m3ef.

3 &middot; run it

Type the code into the box on the Hype Apps home screen — that's it, your creation runs on a real phone.

where the code goes — the app's home screen

And inside the app, press & hold any screen to see the HAM that built it — every screen doubles as a lesson.

The Idea

Build for the phone<br>like you build for the web

Your server sends markup. The phone renders a real, native app. That's it.

Server-Driven UI

Send markup from any backend. Change your entire app without an App Store update. I've had one running for almost 7 years.

Actually Native

Not a web view. Real native components, buttery smooth. Camera, accelerometer, local storage — all the phone stuff.

Your Existing Skills

If you can put up an HTML page at a URL, you can build a phone app. Your bag of tricks already works here.
