Make it, then share it

An app for the people who make it and the people who use it.

For the people who make it

Describe it, then keep improving it

  • Describe the app in plain words and get one that works, with its own screens.
  • Sign-ins, a database and hosting come built in.
  • Invite colleagues into the project to change it together.
  • Connect Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Notion and 450+ more.
For the people who use it

Open it like any other app

  • Colleagues or customers open it at a replit.app address or your own domain.
  • People can sign in to the app itself, each with their own account.
  • Changes reach everyone as soon as they’re published.
  • Apps run in isolated environments, keys stay hidden, and admins can require a security scan before anything is published.

The path

From a description to an app colleagues and customers use.

The same four steps on both. Replit includes every step in one project. With Glean, most steps need something extra: a tool to sign up for or a task someone has to do.

Enterprise controls

IT controls for apps your colleagues and customers use.

Apps made on Replit follow the sign-in rules, admin settings and audit logs your IT team sets, including the ones customers open, and can run in your company’s own cloud.

  • Identity and compliance

    SOC 2 Type II, SSO and SCIM

    People sign in through your identity provider, and accounts are added and removed automatically as they join or leave.

  • Workspace settings

    One policy, approved exceptions

    Set a rule once for the whole company, approve a different value for one team, or hand a setting to that team’s admin, including which model providers and models each workspace can use.

  • Audit logs

    A record of who changed what

    More than 65 event types across publishing, sign-ins, secrets, connectors, domains and Agent activity, streamed to Datadog, Splunk, Amazon S3 or any webhook.

  • Checks before publishing

    Safer apps by default

    Every app runs in its own isolated environment with separate development and production databases, keys stay hidden, and admins can require a security scan before anything is published.

  • Bring your own cloud

    Run it in your own cloud

    Host published apps, or all of Replit, in your company’s own Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or AWS account, on a private network. For the people making apps, nothing changes: they still click Publish.

  • Custom connectors

    Connect your internal systems

    Connect internal systems that aren’t in Replit’s list of 450+ connections, and decide for the whole company which connections people can use and which credentials they sign in with.

Why companies add Replit

What changes when people outside engineering create products, not just agents.

Ideas become products people use.

When someone can describe an app and publish it the same day, a good idea reaches colleagues and customers without waiting for an engineering project.

  • Hosted apps
  • Customer-facing tools
  • Shared projects
  • One set of controls
  • Sign-ins and saved data

    Each app can have its own accounts and database, so colleagues and customers sign in and pick up where they left off.

  • Screens people click through

    Replit Design turns an idea into screens, slides and charts, so people react to something real.

  • Controls on what goes live

    Workspace policies and audit logs cover the apps people publish, and admins can require a security scan first.

  • 450+ connections, built in

    Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Notion and hundreds more connect inside the app, plus custom connectors for internal systems.
