Just a heads-up:
If you link your Netlify account later, apps launched earlier with Rocket’s default account won’t be unpublished.
Rocket will switch to your Netlify account for future launches. To republish existing apps under your account, open each one and click Launch.If you disconnect your Netlify integration, Rocket will automatically restore the last version using the default Netlify account.

Manage your published app

If you choose Unpublish, you’ll be asked to confirm.
Select:
  • Cancel to go back.
  • Confirm to unpublish your app permanently.
Free users can’t unpublish apps and will see a Built with Rocket badge on the public site.
Want full control? Upgrade to remove the badge and access unpublish options.
If you launched with Rocket’s default domain and later connected your own Netlify account, clicking Unpublish removes the app from both URLs.
After unpublishing, your link will stop working. You can publish again anytime.

You did it!

Your app is now live on the web. No setup, no stress, just one click.
