Creator access

Publish and share the apps you build with AI.

Upload an app you’ve built and share it with a link. People can use it without signing up, and you can publish updates without sending a new link.

Request creator access

For small apps that run entirely in the browser.

Let a client estimate their project’s cost.Simulated walkthrough · Fictional example and pricing

Read the walkthrough

The creator selects project-estimator.html, checks the file, enters an app name and description, then publishes it. After copying the published link, the walkthrough opens a separate tab representing a signed-out recipient and pastes that same link. The recipient chooses five website pages and adds copywriting, producing a fictional estimate of $3,350 CAD before tax, then downloads it. The walkthrough stays with this one publishing and recipient workflow.

How it works

From your finished app to their browser.

Upload

Choose your finished HTML file. DotSmall checks the file and highlights potential problems before you publish.

Publish

Review the checks, give your app a name and description, then publish it.

Send the link. The person receiving it opens the app in their browser and can start using it.

After you share it

Keep improving what you’ve built.

Make changes. Keep the link.

Publish a new version when your app improves. Future opens use the update, and you can roll back to an earlier version if needed.

Let someone make their own version.

Allow another invited creator to copy your app into their workspace. They can download it, make changes using their usual tools and publish their version.

The copy doesn’t include anyone’s files or saved answers.

Offer a download, too.

When you enable downloads, people can keep a copy of the app. Downloaded copies don’t receive your future updates.

What works today

Bring a finished browser app.

DotSmall supports a single HTML file with its CSS and JavaScript included. You can build it with whichever tools you prefer.

A good fit

Calculators, CSV utilities, assessments and generators that do their work in the browser.

One finished .html file

Results generated in the browser

Not supported

Apps that need a server, shared database, live API or connection to an AI model.

Built with AI is fine. Requiring a live AI service isn’t supported yet.

Where the person’s data goes

Files opened inside the app, entered information and generated results stay in their browser. They aren’t sent to you or uploaded to DotSmall.

What DotSmall stores

The published app and its versions, basic usage information, and feedback someone chooses to submit.

Questions

A few things to know.

Who needs an account?

Creators need an invitation and currently sign in with Google. People opening your published app don’t need a DotSmall account. Making a private fork requires an invited creator account.

Can I stop sharing an app?

You can stop future hosted opens through DotSmall. That won’t recall downloaded copies or results, or close an app someone already has open.

Can I build or edit the app in DotSmall?

No. Build and edit it using your usual tools, then upload the finished HTML file to DotSmall.

Are apps checked before publishing?

DotSmall checks for common unsupported features and runs accepted apps with restricted browser access. Those checks don’t guarantee that an app is harmless or that every feature works.
