A Bolt alternative
Looking for an alternative to Bolt? FromScratch is an AI app builder that turns a prompt into a real, full-stack app you can preview live and publish in one click.
Bolt is a popular AI tool for building software from natural language. FromScratch pursues the same goal — letting you create a working app just by describing it — with a focus on shipping a complete, full-stack product you can publish, not just a front-end.
Why people choose FromScratch
- Full-stack by default. Database, API and authentication are generated and wired together — not just a front-end.
- Live preview. See the real, running app as it’s built, and try it immediately.
- One-click publish. Ship to a public URL — or your own custom domain with HTTPS — in a single click.
- Bring your own files. Attach PDFs, images and documents so the app is built from your real content.
- Refine by chatting. Iterate in plain language — no code, no rebuilds, no infrastructure to manage.
Is FromScratch right for you?
If you want to go from idea to a published, working app without managing servers or writing code, FromScratch is built for exactly that. You can start free and judge for yourself.
Note: the feature sets of all AI app builders change over time — always compare current capabilities before deciding.
