Managing Apps
Each org can have multiple apps — self-contained workspaces with their own tables, views, and pages. Creating, renaming, and deleting apps require the owner or admin role.
Creating an app
Section titled “Creating an app”There are two ways to create an app:
- App switcher — click the app name in the sidebar to open the dropdown, then click New app.
- App picker page (
/apps) — click the New app button on the full-page app list.
Both show a form with two fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| App name | The display name (e.g., “Order Management”). |
| Schema name | The internal identifier, auto-derived from the app name (e.g., order_management). You can override it before creating. |
After creating, you’re redirected to the AI Builder to start building your app.
Switching apps
Section titled “Switching apps”You can switch between apps two ways:
- App switcher — click the app name in the sidebar to see all apps in a dropdown. Click one to switch.
- App picker page — navigate to
/appsfor a full-page list of all apps.
Your last-used app is remembered automatically — when you return to Alchemify, you’ll land in the app you were working in.
Renaming an app
Section titled “Renaming an app”Hover over an app in the app switcher dropdown to reveal a pencil icon. Click it to edit the display name inline. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.
Rename is only available in the app switcher, not the app picker page.
Deleting an app
Section titled “Deleting an app”Hover over an app in the app switcher dropdown to reveal a trash icon. Click it to open a confirmation dialog.
Deleting an app is permanent and cannot be undone. It removes all tables, views, pages, and data in that app.
Delete is only available in the app switcher, not the app picker page.
App description & home page
Section titled “App description & home page”You can set an app description and home page through the AI Builder. These are proposed as changes that require admin approval — the AI doesn’t modify them directly. See Using the AI Builder for details on how proposals work.
