The six tools

Three build apps in your browser. One is a cloud IDE. Two work on code you keep on your own machine.

• Lovable Browser app builder

  You describe the app in chat and it writes a React frontend, usually wired to Supabase. Deploys from the same screen.

• Bolt Browser app builder

  Made by StackBlitz. It runs a full Node environment inside your browser tab, so you can see the app run while it's being written.

• v0 Browser app builder

  Made by Vercel. Writes Next.js apps and deploys them to Vercel.

• Replit Cloud IDE with an agent

  Replit Agent builds the app in a cloud workspace. Hosting and the database live on Replit too.

• Cursor Code editor

  A fork of VS Code with an agent that edits files in your local repo. You handle hosting yourself.

• Claude Code Terminal agent

  Anthropic's coding agent. It runs in your terminal and works on the repo you point it at.
