What is a Replit App?

Replit Apps are cloud-hosted projects that contain code, data, and assets. You can create, run, and deploy them from a secure, isolated environment.

Replit Apps integrate with the following tools in your Replit workspace to provide a seamless development experience:

  • AI-powered tools: Use Agent and Assistant to create, debug, and explain your code.
  • Collaboration: Work with others in real time on the same app.
  • Deployment: Deploy your app to the cloud with a single click.
  • Templates: Start your app quickly using preset configurations for various use cases.

Replit App is the new product name for Repl. To learn more about the renaming, see Repls are now Replit Apps.

How it works

When you create a Replit App, Replit sets up a private space for your project in the cloud. As you add features and modifications to your app, Replit saves your changes automatically so you can resume editing from any web browser.

Replit provides pre-configured environments with all the necessary components. This lets you start creating your app immediately without worrying about server configuration, database setup, or environment management.

Replit automatically assigns each Replit App a unique web address where you can preview your app while you’re working on it. When you’re ready to share your creation, you can deploy it with just a few clicks to make it available 24/7.

​
