How it works
Pick an idea that solves your problem
The best app ideas fix something small that annoys you every week: splitting a bill, picking lunch, keeping a streak.
Try the working version
Every idea below is a live app. Use it for a day before deciding what it needs.
Remix it into yours
Describe the change and you have your own version, with its own link, about a minute later.
What makes a good simple app idea
One person, one job, used often. “An app for my team to vote on lunch” beats “a social network for food.” The smaller the idea, the faster it’s useful, and the easier it is to grow it one change at a time.
- Personal tools: trackers, timers, calculators, checklists.
- Group apps: polls, sign-up sheets, shared boards, leaderboards.
- Fun: small games, quizzes, toys for a party or a class.
- Phone apps: things you want in your pocket, like a plant-watering schedule.

What it won’t do
- These are small apps. An idea that needs user accounts, payments or a large backend is better started as code.
- Phone apps open on your phone through Expo Go; they aren’t listed in the app stores for you.
What it costs
- Every app is free to use, no account needed.
- 2 free remixes every month.
- $0.50 a remix after that, from prepaid credit.
- Pro $19.99/mo: 100 remixes a month + the Advanced console.
Questions
What is a good app idea for a beginner?
Something small you would use every week: a habit tracker, a bill splitter, a chore chart, a quiz for friends. Start from one of the working ideas on this page and change one thing at a time.
Can I build one of these app ideas without coding?
Yes. Open the app, tap Remix it, and describe what you’d change. You get your own copy with its own link in about a minute.
How much does it cost to try an idea?
Using any app in the feed is free and needs no account. Each month you get 2 free remixes (a remix = changing someone’s app, a new version of yours, or a new app from an idea). After that a remix costs $0.50 from prepaid credit, with no subscription, and a remix that fails gives the $0.50 back. Pro is $19.99 a month for 100 remixes a month + the Advanced console.
Where do new app ideas come from?
From the people using Remix. The feed shows the newest apps first, every app shows the remixes made from it, and the weekly top apps are at codeagent-mobile.com/remix/top.
