What is Vibes DIY?

Vibes DIY is a platform for building small web apps by describing them in plain language, with no coding required. You write a prompt such as a booking page, an online shop, a tracker or a members area, and the platform generates the app, hosts it at its own link and keeps its data. Everyone you invite sees the same live state, like a shared document, and each app is private by default or can be made public so others can remix it. Apps can run a backend.js for webhooks, scheduled jobs, secrets and server-side AI, and the Works With pages cover GitHub, Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, Stripe, Zapier, Claude, ChatGPT, calendars, YouTube and Spotify. Developers can deploy from the shell with npx vibes-diy generate, and connect their vibes to an AI agent over MCP. Building uses credits: the Free plan is $0 per month with 1,000 monthly credits, and Vibes Plus is $5 per month with 1,000 credits and optional top-ups.
