NukeBase
Get started
For people with an idea — not a computer-science degree

Build a real app in the next 30 minutes. Then build four more.

Describe your idea to an AI like Claude in plain English. It writes the app — NukeBase is the engine underneath: logins, a database, file uploads, a real web address. One command puts it live. $30 a month covers about five apps, and we show you the arithmetic.

30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not up and running, you don't pay.

The idea was never the hard part. Everything after it was. So we did everything after it — for you.

Your idea isn't the problem. Everything after it is.

Nobody quits on the idea. They quit on the wall of tech nonsense that shows up the second they try to make it real. Sound familiar?

A wall of words nobody explained

Servers. Databases. Hosting. SSL certificates. Environment variables. You didn't have a bad idea — you hit a vocabulary nobody warned you about, and the whole thing stalls right there.

You're scared of succeeding

You've heard the horror story: app gets popular, owner wakes up to a $2,000 bill. You haven't even started and you're already afraid it works. That fear has killed more ideas than any bad idea ever has.

"Just hire a developer"

So you ask around. Thousands of dollars and three months — if they call you back. And the idea quietly dies in your notes app, right next to the other twelve.

Everything your app needs to actually work. Done. For you.

You don't need to know what any of this is called. You need it to just work. It does.

Your users sign up & log in

Real accounts with secure, passwordless email sign-in — the kind where people click a link instead of inventing another password. No passwords for you to babysit.

Your app remembers everything

Posts, profiles, orders, messages — whatever your app saves is stored safely and shows up instantly, for everyone, the moment it changes.

A real web address with the padlock

Your app goes live on the internet with its own link and the little lock that says "safe and legit." Bring your own domain and we set up the certificate for you.

Photos & files just work

Let people upload pictures and files with zero setup from you. Storage is already there, with size and type limits you control.

Idea to live in 3 steps. Yes, it's really this short.

Your project arrives with a CLAUDE.md file already inside — so your AI assistant understands the whole system from the very first message. Point it at your project, describe your idea, run the commands we give you. That's the entire process.

1

Describe your idea

Tell ChatGPT or Claude what you want to build, in plain English. It writes the app.

Build me an app where people share recipes.
On it — I can read your whole project. Building now.

It builds, with NukeBase inside

The AI builds your screens and wires in NukeBase — the engine that makes the app actually run: logins, data, storage, the lot.

You're live

Three commands, copied and pasted. The first two are one-time setup; after that it's just the last one, every time you want to publish.

your app, live
# one-time setup $ npm install -g $ npm install # publish (every time after this, just this one) $ nukebase push
LIVE
Online at myrecipes.usw1.nukebase.com — share it with anyone.

Build it with the AI you already pay for. We don't charge you a cent for that.

Other "build an app" sites sell you credits — then run the meter and cut you off mid-project so you buy more. We don't sell you AI. We just take the app you built and put it online.

Never "out of credits"

Build as long as you want on the AI subscription you already have. No meter, no getting cut off at the worst possible moment.

It's yours. For real.

Most tools quietly trap your project inside their walls. Here you can download your entire project — every file, exactly as it sits on the server — and walk, any time.

No sneaky markup

We make money one honest way: hosting your app. We don't tax every AI click on top.

Enough room to stop rationing your ideas.

Logins, database, storage, uploads, a live web address, custom domains and daily backups — included on every plan, at the same published rates. The only thing that changes is how much usage comes with it.

Every plan buys usage at the same published rates — the bigger the plan, the further each dollar goes: $2 of credit per dollar on Launch, $3 on Studio, $4 on Scale. Paying yearly also locks your price for twelve months, keeps your apps running down to −$25 instead of pausing at −$1, and gives you 90 days' grace if you cancel instead of 30.

Try the whole thing risk-free for 30 days.

Build your app, put it live, poke at every feature. If you're not up and running and happy within 30 days, email us and we refund you in full — no forms, no hoops. Cancel any time, and your project is always yours to download and take with you.

Here's every rate. No guessing.

Six numbers — that's the entire pricing model. Everything your app uses draws from your monthly credit at exactly these rates, and nothing else is ever added.

Let's handle the real reasons you haven't started.

Every one of these has stopped someone with a great idea. Here's the straight answer to each.

I literally can't code. This can't be for me.

It's built for exactly you. You never write code — you describe what you want in plain English and the AI builds it. What you do is copy and paste three short commands we give you. If you can send a text message and paste a line, you have the only skills this needs.

30 minutes? Come on. Is it actually real?

Real. That's genuinely the whole process — describe it, it builds, one command, live — a working app on a real web address, not a toy. The hard, slow part (the backend, the hosting, the security) is what NukeBase already did, so all that's left is the fast part. And you have a full month to prove it to yourself, money back if it doesn't hold up.

What if it takes off and I get a monster bill?

Two answers. First, the numbers: a real app with daily users costs about $20 a month, and your plan includes $60 — so "taking off" has a lot of runway before it costs you anything extra. Second, the guardrail: set a spending cap on any app and we pause that app before it costs more than the number you chose. You decide the ceiling, not us.

Is my idea mine? Is it safe? Can I leave?

Yours, yes, and yes. Hit one button and you download your entire project — every file, exactly as it sits on our server — and you can run it anywhere. Your data is backed up daily and your users' logins are secured for you. You're building an asset you own, not renting one back from us.

"But what about…" — let's kill every excuse.

A 30-day money-back guarantee. Build your app, put it live, try everything. If you're not up and running and happy within 30 days, email us and we refund you in full — no forms, no hoops.

About two real apps with daily users, or a dozen quieter side projects. Your $30 includes $60 of usage credit each month, and a typical app costs about $20 of it. We publish the full arithmetic on this page rather than asking you to guess.

You're billed for the extra at the same published rates — no penalty rate, no tier jump. If you'd rather not be billed past a number, set a spending cap on any app and we pause that app before it costs more. You choose the cap.

ChatGPT or Claude both work great — use whatever you already pay for. NukeBase never charges you for the AI itself; we just host the app it helps you build.

Three sizes, each billable monthly or yearly. Launch is $30 a month and covers about two real apps — start there and see how you get on. Studio is $30 more and triples the credit to eight apps, which is client-work territory. Scale is another $60 and takes it to twenty-three. Whichever size you pick, paying yearly gives you two months free and lets unused credit roll forward instead of expiring — so a quiet month funds a busy one. You can move up at any time and we'll prorate it.

You get a real, live web address the moment you deploy — with the padlock. Want your own custom domain instead? That's included too, and we set up the certificate for you.

Your project ships with a CLAUDE.md file that teaches your AI assistant the whole system, so it can answer almost anything about your own app. There's full written documentation too — and when you need a human, we're an email away.

Want to look under the hood? The docs are open.

NukeBase is a real-time database and web server with full documentation — for the curious, the technical, and the AI assistant doing the building.

Stop letting your idea rot in a notes app.

The only thing ever standing between your idea and a real, live app was the techy part. That part is handled now. Spend a dollar and watch it go live.
