What is Capacity?
Capacity turns your spoken or typed idea into a working app without any coding. You describe what you want, like you would to a friend, and it asks a few clarifying questions before building. The result is a real app with accounts, logins, saved data, and payments, not just a demo.
You can build directly on Capacity's site or connect it to Claude or ChatGPT. If you use your own AI subscription, every message runs on your plan, not on Capacity credits. Each change is built and previewed immediately, then published on your domain. You can switch between the chat and Capacity anytime, and your version history follows.
Once you are happy, one click puts your app online with a shareable link. You can connect your own domain in minutes. Capacity is designed for people with no technical background, and it handles hosting, database, and versions for you. The website mentions that thousands of people have used it and that your first app is free.
