Generate a SaaS web app that earns money while you sleep.

Many app builders focus on prototypes, internal tools, or experiments. Manifest is built specifically for entrepreneurs who want to launch real products that generate revenue.

Every Manifest app comes with subscriptions and payments already built in, so you can start charging users without stitching together third-party tools or custom billing logic. Instead of getting stuck at the "how do I monetize this?" stage, you can move from idea to working app to paying customers in one place.

Our goal is to support you long-term. Apps built on Manifest can scale to support large user bases and meaningful revenue.

That said, we believe you should always have options. You can export your data at any time, and much of your app's generated code is accessible. If you eventually decide to migrate, a developer can help recreate or extend your app elsewhere. We're building Manifest to grow with you — but not lock you in.

Yes. The custom code generated for your app is visible in the Code tab, where you can review it, copy it, and make edits.

Some shared infrastructure is proprietary, but the unique parts of your app are accessible. This gives you transparency, flexibility, and the ability to involve a developer if you ever want deeper customization.

You do. Your app, brand, and intellectual property are 100% yours — not Manifest's.

No. Manifest does not take a cut of your customer payments. When your customers pay you, that revenue goes directly to you.

Yes. Each app includes a Code section where developers can make direct edits to the source code.

Most updates can be handled through AI or design tools, but having direct code access gives you flexibility if you want to fine-tune behavior or bring in technical help.

Manifest creates modern web apps that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.

These are not native app-store apps (iOS/Android), but they are responsive and mobile-friendly. Many founders start with a web app first and later decide whether a native mobile app makes sense.

No. AI is the fastest way to build and update your app, but it's not the only way.

You can also use Design mode to click into your app and make visual changes without writing prompts. This gives you both conversational control and direct editing tools.

Manifest is best for founders who want to launch and monetize a software product without building a full engineering team from day one.

Common use cases include SaaS tools, marketplaces, membership products, internal tools you plan to sell, and niche software for specific communities. If your goal is to test an idea quickly and start charging customers, Manifest is designed for that path.
