By Gaurav Parvadiya | Last Updated On December 19th, 2025
Lovable.dev has one of the most effective AI app builders in 2025. Simply describe what you need using natural language, and AI app builders will create a complete fully integrated app with a React frontend, Supabase backend, authentication, payment collection, and auto-deployed.
Company founders are validating concepts faster than ever. Freelancers complete MVPs for clients in an afternoon. Those without technical backgrounds are crafting SaaS platforms and services that are serviceable only with an entire dev. team a mere 26 months prior.
Lovable reached $200M in ARR just months after becoming available. That’s not an exaggeration, that is a prediction based on principles that hold true relations on how software is conceived, made, and sold.
Yet no one has mentioned the fact that the web is only where it begins.
Your Lovable app is surely functional, beautiful, and addressing a real challenge. However, it is in a race for attention in a browser, competing against 30 open tabs, neglected bookmarks, and the timeless “I’ll get back to this later”.
The typical mobile device owner spends in excess of 4 hours each day using applications. They allocate 30 minutes to mobile web pages. If you want users to genuinely keep interacting with your product, a mobile interface is not an option, it is a necessity.
Lovable.dev is a full-stack application builder powered by generative AI that can turn natural language descriptions into production-ready code. While traditional no-code solutions only offer users a visual editor with drag-and-drop functionality, Lovable provides editable source code.
Why is Lovable so powerful? Here is a summary of Lovable’s core features:
Internal tools, dashboards, SaaS products, and MVPs are Lovable’s bread and butter. Developers use Lovable to generate their product with very little manual coding; and non-developers use Lovable to build projects that they would never have the technical background to build themselves.
The ONLY downside to Lovable is that the platform is limited to building applications that function on the web.
For offline access to web apps, push notifications, and the kind of user interaction that keeps them coming back, web applications are not enough, you need to go native.
Transforming your Lovable web app to mobile iOS and Android should not simply be just a milestone or a check the box exercise. You gain access to a world of possibilities that enhance the user experience through more seamless and advanced interactions to your product.
People rarely open emails these days. While urgent SMS messages can be very intrusive and result in expensive costs. Push messages are free and user welcoming. These messages can be used to remind users about actions they are supposed to take, or announce new features and updates. Also, users can be re-engaged to bring them back to the app if they are quiet.
An installed app cannot be removed or compete with browser tabs. Your app is permanently sitting on the home screen next to the apps that users open every day. They see it every time they are on their phone which drives habitual use of the app. Something that web URLs simply cannot do.
App store are used by phone users to search for apps that solve their problems. Once your app is available in App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android users solving their problems, new users can be easily acquired. Gaining users trust are users that have not heard about your brand before.4. Offline Functionality
Native apps can save some content so that users can function without having to be connected to the internet. This is important for users who may be on the subway, in an area with little to no internet signal, or when traveling internationally. It makes the difference between users having a working product, or a product that just shows a loading spinner on the screen.
Access to the camera, GPS, some biometric features, and haptic response. These all help enable features that web apps don’t offer. Some examples are location-based features, the ability to scan documents, and secure logins that use Face ID.
Mobile apps keep users engaged with the product more than mobile web apps, and increase the retention rates. This is a important metric to a company that’s building a business and not just a project.
Why Twinr, and not Just Wrapping Your Website?
To be clear, there are other products that will take your lovable web app and wrap it in a mobile framework. But that’s not going to help you build a retention channel.
Twinr was built for retention. The main difference with Twinr is what happens after the app is installed.
The app that you love is not limited to being just web containers. It can run smoothly within Twinr’s native eco-system. There are numerous unique and bespoke native screens that can be built for things like: flash sales, and product bundles, loyalty programmes, app exclusive content, etc are built for mobile and outperform web-cores by a wide margin.
Analytics on push notifications are generated by Twinr’s AI. User behaviour patterns are analysed, and unique notifications with custom in-app native layouts and screens are generated by the AI. You just put together the strategy and the AI will build the rest.
No additional costs will be charged and no matter how many notifications are sent out, sent abandoned cart reminders, welcome sequences, promotional campaigns, or other re-engagement nudges. It is part of every plan.
Analytics are not distributed in various tools. You can see everything into a singular dashboard. You can see installs, sessions, retention curves and revenue attribution to know how everything is working together.
Other platforms just give you a tool and hope that you figure it out. Twinr doesn’t work like that. Their dedicated client success manager will manage app store submissions and provide you with launch playbooks and install banners. The rest of the clients can expect apps to be published in a week.Instant Updates
Update your Lovable app and it syncs to your mobile app instantly. There aren’t any manual rebuilds or resubmissions to app stores. Your web and mobile experiences are in sync.
Are you ready to bring your Lovable project into the App Store? If yes, follow these next steps:
Before converting, ensure your Lovable App is:

Imagine how this workflow operates:
Hour 1: Describe your ideal app to Lovable.
Hour 2: You possess a fully-functioning full-stack web app.
Days 2-3: Integrate with Twinr and personalize your app with your branding and notification preferences.
Weeks 2-3: Your app becomes operational on the App Store and Google Play.
No need for a dev team. No more waiting for months. No need to pay six figures for a mobile app.
This is the new playbook. AI builds the product, Twinr makes it mobile, and you grow.
1. Can I convert any Lovable project to a mobile app with Twinr?
Yes. Any Lovable project that has a live and public URL can be converted. This is true no matter what features you built, authentication, payment processing, databases, or complex interactive tasks. Provided that your app is mobile-responsive, which Lovable does very well by default, Twinr can convert it into fully native iOS and Android applications.
2. Is coding necessary to utilize Twinr?
Absolutely not. There is no coding experience needed to utilize Twinr because it is a complete no-code platform. Simply copy and paste your Lovable URL into Twinr, customize it with the visual editor, and the platform takes care of the rest. If you are able to create and develop your app using Lovable’s natural language interface, you have all the skills necessary to utilize Twinr to launch on mobile.
3.When I change my Lovable project, will my app become updated automatically?
There is some good news! Your app will become updated automatically. Twinr is in real-time sync with your web app. This means that your mobile app will reflect any updates you push to Lovable immediately – no having to manually rebuild your app, and no needing to resubmit to the app store. Your users will always have access to the most up-to-date app version.
4.What makes Twinr different than Median.co or other similar site-to-app converters?
Most other app converters take your pre-existing website, and only change the format of it to resemble that of a mobile app. However, Twinr provides a comprehensive retention platform that allows users to utilize unlimited push notifications, create customized screens that they can design from scratch using no code, receive AI feedback for engagement suggestions, recover abandoned carts, and utilize in-app messaging with analytics. Twinr provides your with a mobile retention platform, while competitors just offer you a mobile shell.
5.How long does it take to get my app on the App Store and Google Play?
Most apps take 2-3 weeks to launch and it is a fairly easy process. First Twinr does the setup and customization and that takes about a week. After that, it is solely dependent on the waiting times on Apple’s and Google’s reviews. Twinr does everything for you. They submit the reviews, upload the metadata and screenshots, and get the approvals.
6.How does the cost of Twinr compare to the cost of traditional native apps?
Traditional native app development takes around 4-6 months to complete with a cost of $50,000-$150,000. Twinr is a subscription that charges $85 a month and you get a 14-day free trial. It’s the cost of a few developer hours, but you get native iOS and Android apps, unlimited push notifications, native screen services, and a high quality of service.
