Quickstart

Create your first OpenV2 mobile app in minutes.

Get from zero to a working mobile app preview in a few steps.

1. Create an account

Go to openv2.dev and sign in with Google, GitHub, or email. The Free plan includes daily credits to explore the platform.

2. Start a new project

From the dashboard, click Start Building and describe your app in the chat. Be specific about:

  • The core purpose (e.g. "habit tracker with streaks")
  • Key screens (home, settings, profile)
  • Visual style (minimal, dark mode, inspired by Linear)

Example prompt:

3. Watch the preview update

OpenV2 generates code in real time. The workbench preview shows your app in a phone frame as files are created and updated.

4. Refine with chat

Keep chatting to add features, fix layout issues, or change styling:

  • "Make the header sticky"
  • "Add a weekly progress chart"
  • "Use green as the primary accent color"

5. Preview on your phone

Open the device preview panel and scan the QR code with Expo Go on iOS or Android. Changes sync as you iterate.

6. Save and return later

Projects are saved automatically to your account. Reopen any project from the dashboard to continue where you left off.

Note: Publishing to app stores and private projects require a Pro or Ultra plan. See Plans & credits.
