Anyone using Base44 already knows how fast it is to build full web-apps just by describing what you want. Dashboards, user logins, databases, workflows - all without traditional coding. But while a Base44 app works great in a browser, many founders and teams want more: a real mobile app on iOS and Android.

That’s exactly what webtoapp.design is built for. In fact, webtoapp.design has already converted over 2 500 Base44 websites into native mobile apps, without customers having to rewrite their product or maintain separate mobile codebases.

Here’s how it works and why it makes sense.

Why Turn a Base44 Web-App into a Native Mobile App

Your users expect an app

A mobile app is easier to access than a bookmarked website. It lives on the home screen, opens instantly, and feels like a first-class product instead of just a web app in a browser.

Push notifications drive engagement

Base44 apps often rely on email or in-app messages. With a native app, you can send push notifications directly to users’ phones - a proven way to increase return visits and engagement.

App Store presence builds trust

Being available on Google Play and the Apple App Store adds credibility, especially for SaaS products, internal tools used daily, or customer portals.

No rebuild, no duplicate work

Your Base44 project stays exactly as it is. webtoapp.design wraps your existing web-app in a native container, so your Base44 app remains the single source of truth. Any changes you make in Base44 will automatically show up in the app too.

How Converting a Base44 App Works

Turning a Base44 web-app into a mobile app is mostly a setup and configuration process, not a development project.

Step 1 - Use Your Existing Base44 URL

You simply provide the URL of your Base44 app. It can be a custom domain or a Base44-provided subdomain - both work.

Step 2 - Configure the App Look & Feel

Inside webtoapp.design you configure:

  • App name

  • App icon

  • Splash screen

  • Navigation (bottom bar, menu, etc.)

  • Colours and basic styling

This is what gives your app a polished, native feel.

Step 3 - Enable Native Features

On top of your Base44 web-app, you can enable native features such as:

Your Base44 logic, authentication, and database remain untouched.

Step 4 - Publish to the App Stores

When everything looks right:

  • Publish the Android app using your Google Play Developer account

  • Publish the iOS app using your Apple Developer account

webtoapp.design guides you through screenshots, store listings, and technical requirements - making it easily manageable even if it’s your first time publishing an app.

Who This Is Ideal For

  • SaaS founders launching a mobile version fast

  • Internal tools that benefit from push alerts and mobile access

  • Startups validating mobile demand without new development

  • Businesses with Base44 portals users want on their phones

The fact that webtoapp.design has already converted 2 500+ Base44 projects into mobile apps shows that this approach scales well - from small tools to production SaaS products.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to learn Android or iOS development to bring your Base44 app to mobile. You keep building exactly as you do today in Base44, and webtoapp.design turns that work into polished native apps with push notifications and App Store presence.

If your Base44 web-app already works well, converting it into a mobile app is the fastest way to expand your reach - without slowing down your development or duplicating effort.
