Fastshot is a cloud-based AI platform that builds native mobile apps for iOS and Android from a text prompt. According to its homepage, users describe their app idea in plain language, then Fastshot generates designs, branding, and cross-platform source code using React Native and Expo. The resulting code can be launched through one-click deployment to the App Store and Google Play, with Fastshot also producing store metadata, screenshots, and documentation. The platform is designed to eliminate the need for separate backend and authentication work. It can connect a managed Supabase backend (PostgreSQL, auth, storage, and API keys) in a single click, and it provides one-click integration with Adapty for subscriptions and Google AdMob for ads. The homepage emphasizes native app quality and built-in monetization features, allowing makers to earn revenue without a dedicated engineering team. Fastshot was backed by Y Combinator and presents itself as a complete "idea-to-launch" workflow. It supports example categories such as calorie trackers, dating apps, habit trackers, task managers, and social media apps. The website offers docs, a gallery of community-built apps, tutorials, and a Discord community as supporting resources.
