The home of every app idea

Every app
starts here.

EngineZero is the starting line for every app idea. Turn napkin sketches into shipped apps — with your crew behind the curtain, or with the whole internet pitching in.

Two ways to play

Build with your crew.
Or with the whole crowd.

Every app on EngineZero is either Private or Public. Pick the energy.

Private 🔒

Your crew, behind closed doors

Invite-only. Bring the squad, build the app, keep it under wraps. Perfect for stealth startups, client work, and ideas not ready for the spotlight.

  • Invite-only access
  • NDA-friendly by default
  • Team comments & change proposals
  • Versioned, exportable specs
Public 🌐

The crowd, in your corner

Anyone can find your app, upvote it, comment, and propose changes. Like Reddit, but instead of memes you get real app ideas with screens you can click.

  • Open to the internet
  • Upvotes & downvotes surface the good stuff
  • Anyone can propose changes
  • Comment threads on every screen
The studio

Design, debate,
and ship — all in one window.

Every app gets its own live design board. Screens, status, comments, votes, and proposed changes — sitting next to each other instead of scattered across six apps.

Live screen board See what's shipped, cooking, or still on the napkin.
Inline change proposals Roast a screen, suggest a patch, get it merged.
Design DNA, baked in Color palette, typography, components — all versioned.
AI co-pilot Turn "like X but for Y" into actual screens and specs.

"CTA spacing is cooked — patch attached, lmk."

Public feed

The good ideas float to the top.

Public apps get upvoted (or downvoted) by everyone. The best ones get traction, contributors, and eyeballs.
