Glide

Glide is a no-code platform that lets anyone build polished mobile and web applications from their data, without writing a single line of code. Building software has traditionally required developers, time, and budget, putting custom apps out of reach for many businesses and teams. Glide changes that by letting people turn data sources like spreadsheets into functional, attractive apps through a visual interface, dramatically lowering the barrier to creating the internal tools and apps that organisations need. What once took a development team can now be built by the people who actually understand the problem.

The platform connects to your data and lets you design an app visually, choosing how information is displayed and what actions users can take, producing a professional-looking app that works on phones and the web. It's particularly powerful for internal business tools — things like inventory trackers, directories, request systems, field tools, and dashboards — that organisations need but can't easily justify hiring developers to build. Glide has increasingly incorporated AI to make app building even faster and more powerful, helping users create capable applications from a description or their data with remarkable speed.

Glide is used by businesses, teams, and individuals who need custom apps and internal tools but don't have development resources or want to build them far faster than traditional development allows. The value is empowerment and speed: it lets the people closest to a problem build their own software solution quickly and affordably, turning data they already have into useful apps. For the countless situations where an organisation needs a simple custom app but building one conventionally would be too slow or expensive, Glide provides a practical, accessible answer. By democratising app creation, it enables a much wider range of people to solve their own problems with software, embodying the promise of no-code to put building power in everyone's hands.
