Everything Base44 Does. Plus Native Mobile.
Base44 wraps web apps in a native shell for the App Store. CatDoes builds web apps AND real native iOS and Android apps — same vibe coding workflow, real push notifications, no wrapper limitations.
AI Builds It
The Compose Agent works in the cloud — handling code, design, and backend setup. It spins up subagents for parallel tasks. Close your browser, it keeps going.

Base44's App Store publishing wraps a web app in a native shell, not a native app. Base44's backend (proprietary MongoDB) cannot be exported. CatDoes builds real native mobile apps and uses CatDoes Cloud which all use open-source and industry standard technologies, so your backend is portable.
Turn any website into a mobile app
Paste a URL from Base44, WordPress, Shopify, or anywhere else. An AI agent studies the site and ships a native mobile app that matches.
See every screen, on every device
The multi-page canvas lays your whole app out at once. Switch between phone, tablet, and desktop sizes, or scan a QR code to test it live on your iPhone or Android.
Real apps. iOS, Android, and the web.
CatDoes builds native iOS and Android apps with native UI and gestures — not web wrappers. Publish websites to custom domains. Users get an app that belongs on their device.
Edit the code. Own the code.
Open any file from the dashboard and edit it yourself. Export the full codebase anytime you want.
Start from any GitHub repo
Import your existing code and keep building with an AI agent. Push changes, open PRs, stay in sync with your team.
A cloud agent with its own computer
The AI agent runs in the cloud on its own computer. It installs packages, runs the tests, and fixes its own errors. You don't have to watch it work.
Base44 can publish to the App Store and Google Play — but it wraps a web app in a native shell. That means no push notifications, larger download sizes, and the limits of a PWA inside a container. CatDoes builds native mobile apps from the ground up. Real native performance. Real native capabilities.
Every CatDoes app gets a full backend — database, auth, file storage, edge functions, and real-time events. Built on Postgres, so your data is portable. Included on every plan, including Free. US and EU regions. No vendor lock-in, no separate billing.

Pricing
Local taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) will be charged in addition to the prices mentioned.
Can CatDoes build websites?
Yes. As of v4.1, CatDoes builds websites and native mobile apps. You can build a website, a mobile app, or both in the same project. The agent works across them.
How is CatDoes different from Base44?
Both build web apps with vibe coding. The main differences: (1) CatDoes builds real native iOS and Android apps; Base44's App Store publishing wraps a web app in a native shell. (2) CatDoes Cloud is Supabase-based (Postgres) and portable — you can export your backend. Base44's backend is proprietary. (3) CatDoes includes an autonomous cloud agent (Compose) that keeps working after you close your browser.
Doesn't Base44 also publish to the App Store?
Base44 can generate files for App Store submission, but it wraps a web app in a native shell — not a native app. That means no push notifications, larger download sizes, and PWA limitations on some devices. CatDoes builds native mobile apps from the ground up with full platform capabilities.
Can I import my Base44 project?
Yes. Paste your Base44 project URL and CatDoes uses it as a reference to build a native mobile version of your app. You can also import any GitHub repo directly into CatDoes as a project.
Does the AI agent work when I close my browser?
Yes. The Compose Agent runs in the cloud. Give it a task, close your laptop, come back to a working app. It can also spin up subagents to work on different parts of your request in parallel.
What's included in the free plan?
1 project, 25 one-time AI credits, web deployment, and a full CatDoes Cloud backend (database, auth, storage, edge functions). No credit card required.
Can I deploy to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes — built-in on Starter and above ($50/mo). CatDoes handles the build and submission process. No Xcode or Android Studio needed.
Is coding experience required?
No. CatDoes is built for people with zero coding experience. Describe what you want, the AI agent handles the rest. You can also browse and edit code directly in the file browser if you want to.
