Why launch a mobile app to web

• Skip app store review - share your app immediately without waiting for Apple or Google approval
• Test with real users fast - send a link to testers and get feedback before committing to a store release
• Reach users without downloads - anyone with a browser can use your app, no install required
• Push updates instantly - fix bugs or add features and update the live version in one click

• Web Browser
• Mobile App

First time launching? Rocket uses a default Netlify account if you have not connected your own.

Use your own Netlify account? Connect Netlify to Rocket.

Use a custom domain? Set up a custom domain.

If you link your Netlify account later, apps published with Rocket’s default account remain published. Rocket uses your Netlify account for new launches only.To move existing apps to your account, open each one and click Launch again.If you disconnect your Netlify integration, Rocket restores the last version using the default Netlify account.

Update or unpublish

• Update publishes your latest changes to the same URL.
• Unpublish removes the app and disables the public link.

Clicking Unpublish shows a confirmation dialog. Choose Cancel to go back or Confirm to unpublish.

Free users cannot unpublish apps and will see a Built with Rocket badge on the public site. Upgrade to remove the badge and access unpublish options.

After unpublishing, the link stops working. You can publish again anytime.
