Apps inside a project
A project can hold a Website, a Web app, a Mobile app and a Desktop app side by side — each with its own chat, files, preview, pages, server, and publishing, all sharing one CRM, team, domain, and cloud database.
A project is no longer one site. A single ESTAGE project can hold a Website, a Web app, a Mobile app and a Desktop app at the same time, and you switch between them from a switcher in the builder.
Build the marketing site, the customer portal, the phone app and the program people install — once, on one set of data — without wiring separate projects together by hand.
Each app is a real, separate build
Ask the AI to change something and it changes the app you have open. Nothing bleeds into the others.
| Per app | What that means |
|---|---|
| Chat history | Each app has its own conversation with the AI |
| Files | Separate codebases — a Next.js app is not your website's React build |
| Live preview | The preview follows the app you're in — a desktop app opens on your own machine instead |
| Pages list | Each app has its own routes and folders |
| Server | The Server tab shows that app's machine, not the project's main one |
| Publishing | Publish each app independently, on its own schedule — a site to its domain, an app to its store or to an installer link |
Inspector edits, version history, and settings all follow whichever app you have open.
What the apps share
The things that should be shared, are:
- The project's CRM connection — one customer list, one product catalog, one set of orders behind all of them.
- Team members and their roles.
- The project's domain — put each app on its own subdomain
(
app.mysite.com,store.mysite.com). - The project's cloud database — one backend, read and written by every app.
Adding an app
On the project, add the target you want — a Website, a Web app, a Mobile app or a Desktop app — and it appears in the switcher next to what you already have.
- Mobile apps are part of the ESTAGE Atlas plan, and the card unlocks it in place if your account doesn't have it yet.
- Web apps are billed per app: dev hours while you build, and a dedicated machine once you publish.
- Desktop apps run on your own computer while you build them, and ship as a Mac or Windows installer people download.
Note
Creating a new project starts from a "What are you building?" chooser on the dashboard — Website, Web app, or Mobile app. Adding a second app to an existing project is the other route, and the only one for a Desktop app — same builder, one project.
