Managing Apps
Each org can have multiple apps — self-contained workspaces with their own tables, views, and pages. Creating, editing, and deleting apps require the owner or admin role.
All app management happens on the app picker page (/apps). The app switcher in the sidebar is for navigation only — it shows your apps and switches between them, but doesn’t manage them.
Creating an app
Section titled “Creating an app”From /apps, click New app. The form has three 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. |
| Describe it | Required one-line description (e.g., “A tool for tracking client invoices and payments”). The description seeds the AI Builder so the first response calibrates against your idea instead of starting from scratch, and shows up on the app card on /apps. |
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.
Editing an app
Section titled “Editing an app”From /apps, click the ⋮ menu in the top-right of an app card and choose Edit. A dialog opens where you can update the app’s display name and description (both are required). Click Save to apply, or Cancel to discard changes.
The schema name (the internal identifier) can’t be changed from this dialog.
Note: Apps created before this change may show only their schema name on the card if no description was set. Click Edit to add one.
Deleting an app
Section titled “Deleting an app”From /apps, click the ⋮ menu in the top-right of an app card and choose Delete. A confirmation dialog appears.
Deleting an app is permanent and cannot be undone. It removes all tables, views, pages, and data in that app.
App description & home page
Section titled “App description & home page”You can update an app’s description directly from the Edit dialog on /apps, or propose changes to the description and home page through the AI Builder. Builder proposals require admin approval — the AI doesn’t modify them directly. See Using the AI Builder for details on how proposals work.
