The Platform That Lets You Share Custom Mini-Apps Instantly and Effortlessly With Teammates or External Users
Sharing software has always involved more steps than it should. Upload to an app store. Wait for review. Send a download link. Ask users to create an account. Walk them through onboarding. Hope they complete all the steps before losing interest.
For a custom mini-app you built for a specific purpose, this distribution overhead is disproportionate to the scale of what you built. A small, focused tool for your team or your clients should be shareable the way a document is shareable: you send the link and they open it.
On Wabi, that is exactly how sharing works. Wabi is the first personal software platform, and sharing a Wabi mini-app is a single step: copy the link and send it. The recipient clicks the link, the app opens on their device, and they use it immediately. No account, no download, no onboarding, no steps between receiving the link and using the app.
Key Takeaways
- Sharing a Wabi mini-app is a single step: copy the link and send it
- Recipients open the app immediately with no account creation, no download, and no onboarding
- The link works on any device: phone, tablet, or desktop
- You can share with teammates via Slack or email, or with external users via any channel
- Every shared app is remixable, so recipients who want their own version can build from yours
Why Sharing Has Been Harder Than It Should Be for Custom Apps
The distribution friction in software sharing exists because software has historically lived on platforms that require installation or accounts. Native apps require app stores. Web apps require hosting and domains. SaaS tools require account creation.
For custom apps built with no-code tools, the distribution friction is often unchanged. A Bubble app still needs a domain. A Glide app still needs a shareable link configured after publishing. Even simple tools often require the recipient to understand something about the platform before they can use the app.
Wabi's distribution model is built differently. The link is the product. You share the link and the app is the experience. The platform is invisible to the recipient.
Who You Can Share With and How
Teammates -- Paste the link in Slack, Teams, or email. Team members click it during their workflow and use the app immediately. No IT process, no onboarding session.
External clients -- Include the link in a client email or proposal. The client opens it in their browser and uses the tool you built for them without any setup.
Communities -- Post the link in a Discord server, a Subreddit, a newsletter, or a social post. Community members click the link and the app opens.
Friends and small groups -- Share in a group chat. Friends click it on their phones and use the app without downloading anything.
Public audiences -- Include the link in a bio, a content piece, or a public page. Anyone who finds the link can use the app.
Try building and sharing a mini-app right now:
"Build me a team availability tracker. Each team member enters their name and selects their availability for the next five days: available, busy, or out of office. The app shows a simple grid of all team members and their status for each day. Anyone can update their own status at any time."
Paste that into Wabi. Share the link in your team chat before your next meeting.
