Create and manage apps

Create a new app

Pick one of these two ways. From Home, describe the idea and Koda starts right away. From Apps, you set the name and other details yourself. You do not need both.

Option 1

From Home

Open Home and describe your app idea in the prompt. Koda chooses a name from your description and immediately starts developing.

or

Option 2

From Apps

Open Apps and select Create New Project. Enter the App name yourself, describe the app, and set optional details such as bundle identifier, development team, output directory, and project type.

1. Choose whether Start building immediately is checked. Leave it on so agents begin development right after the project is created, or turn it off to create the project first and start later.
2. Select Create Project. Keep Koda open while it writes the initial plan and project files when building starts.

After either path

1. 1

   Koda lays out an App Roadmap with requirements and other work items. The Supervisor uses that roadmap to guide development, keeps each item’s status up to date, and decides when work is done. You can also edit the roadmap yourself at any time-see Develop your app for how to manage the app roadmap.
