From your description, step by step.

01 · Describe

Tell us in your own words.

What your app should do, who it's for, and what matters most. We'll ask 2–3 short questions to make sure we got it right.

Add a logo or photos.

04 · You own & publish

Try it on your phone — and publish.

Try it on your phone, then publish to Google Play from your own account — guided every step. It's yours.

Honest about publishing

Publishing — guided, not one-click magic.

Publishing is a guided wizard, not one-click magic. We walk you through every step. You'll need a Google Play account — a one-time fee of about $25 to Google. The app and the account are yours.

Ownership

Yours, forever

Straight talk

What we don't promise.

One-click publishing

It's a guided wizard, and we walk you through it — not a magic button.

Android, not iPhone

Facto builds Android apps. They run on Android 7 and up.

Ownership — depends on the configuration

An on-phone app is yours forever, on your device. A cloud-based app runs while your subscription is active. On the top plans you'll be able to export the full project Coming soon — so you're never locked to anyone.

Credit billing — not running yet

Pricing is a credit model: a monthly plan, plus credits consumed per action — building costs more than a change. The charging itself is not live. Pricing is provisional · finalized at public launch, and until then you come in through requesting access. The numbers themselves live in one place — see the full pricing →

We'd rather tell you that upfront.

We're a small team who believe creating should be within reach — that a good idea shouldn't wait on a developer or a budget.

Under the hood

A real, native app — and it's yours.

Facto doesn't wrap a website or stamp a template — it builds a real, native Android app. Here's what's under the hood.

Native Kotlin — Google's official language for Android. Not a WebView, not no-code.
Jetpack Compose — Google's modern UI toolkit, the same standard as professional apps.
Encrypted database — your data is stored on the device, in an encrypted local database.
Works offline — offline-first, even without a network.
API keys kept server-side — not bundled into the app.
Each cloud-connected app runs with its own isolated backend and database.
Backups are encrypted.
You can view your app's source (Kotlin) at any version; full project export Coming soon.
No third-party trackers by default — analytics only if you add it.
