What Can Your Apps Do?

Think of this as a smart filing cabinet for your app. It can store lists of items — like contacts, tasks, recipes, orders — anything. The data saves automatically and syncs across all devices in real time.

Lets users search through all the data in your app by typing keywords. Like having Google built into your app — it finds matches instantly, even in large amounts of data.

Automatically calculates numbers from your data — like 'how many orders this month?' or 'what's the average rating?' No spreadsheet needed.

Keeps a record of every change made to your data — who changed it, when, and what it looked like before. Like 'track changes' in a document.

When one person adds or changes something, everyone else sees it immediately — no refreshing the page. Like how Google Docs shows edits in real time.

Users can upload files — images, documents, anything — and your app stores them securely in the cloud. Files get a permanent URL that works anywhere.

For apps that need more complex data operations — like filtering across multiple lists, generating reports, or doing calculations on stored data. This is the heavy-duty version of Collections.

Sends a quick message to everyone using the app right now — like an announcement or alert that pops up instantly. Messages aren't saved; they're just for the moment.

Shows a notification badge (like the red dot on your phone apps) when something new happens. Users can see what they've missed since they last checked.

Shows which users are currently active in your app. Think of the green dot next to someone's name in a chat app — that's presence.

Lets users react to things with likes, upvotes, hearts, or any emoji. Each user can only react once per item (no spamming). Counts update in real time.

Rooms let multiple groups use the same app simultaneously without stepping on each other. Each room has its own presence list, broadcast channel, and scoped data. First person in becomes the host.

Your app can ask AI to do things — write text, analyze data, answer questions, generate suggestions, translate languages. It's like having ChatGPT built right into your app.

Instead of waiting for the entire AI response and then showing it all at once, streaming shows the words appearing one at a time — like watching someone type. Makes the app feel fast and responsive.

Choose which AI model powers your app — Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or Grok (xAI). Different models have different strengths, and you can pick the best one for your use case.

For when your app needs a conversation interface — chatbot, assistant, coaching app, tutor, customer-support helper. Drop in <AIChat /> with a system prompt and you have a working chat with streaming, history, and the standard chat affordances.

For when you want AI to give you data, not text. Pass a prompt like "Look up: American robin" and an example showing what fields you want back, and you get a parsed object ready to save or display.

Add a login system to your app so each person has their own account. They can sign in with their Google account, GitHub, or email — no passwords to remember.

Each logged-in user gets their own private data that only they can see. Their notes, their files, their progress — invisible to everyone else, and it follows them across devices.

Put a password on your app so only people who know the code can get in. Simple and effective — share the code with the right people and keep everyone else out. Access codes are for group-mode apps only — NEVER combine with require_login.

Assign roles like admin, editor, or viewer to your users. Then lock down parts of your app so only the right people can see or change things. Admins manage everything, editors create content, viewers just read.

Only let people with a specific email domain sign in — like @yourcompany.com or @school.edu. Anyone without the right email gets turned away.

Every visitor gets a name automatically — no prompts, no inputs, no friction. In group mode, visitors enter their name on a gate screen before reaching your app. With require_login, names come from OAuth. In private mode, the owner's name is used.

Your app can send real emails — order confirmations, reminders, notifications, receipts, or any automated message. The emails come from Deplixo's servers, so there's nothing to set up.

Add an email signup form to your app. Collect email addresses from people who want updates, newsletters, or notifications. Handles opt-in properly.

Your app can talk to any external service — weather APIs, payment processors, AI services, social media, anything with an API. Your secret keys stay hidden and secure on the server, never exposed to users.

Keep sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens encrypted and secure. Your app can use them without ever exposing them to users in the browser.

Your app can receive automatic notifications from other services. For example, Stripe can tell your app when a payment comes in, or GitHub can notify when code is pushed.

Your app can do things automatically on a schedule — send daily reports, clean up old data, check for updates, generate summaries. Runs in the background even when no one has the app open.

Checks that users fill out forms properly before saving — like making sure an email address looks right, a required field isn't empty, or a number is in the right range.

Add countdown timers (counting down to zero) or stopwatches (counting up from zero). Perfect for time-based features like cooking timers, workout intervals, or exam timers.

Set up automatic actions that fire when something happens in your app. When someone places an order, email them a confirmation. When a task is marked urgent, notify the owner. All server-side, all reliable.

Access the device camera to take photos directly within your app. The photo can be displayed, uploaded, or processed — all without leaving the app.

Add bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, radar charts, and more. Feed your data in and get a professional-looking visualization. Interactive and responsive.

Let users download their data as a CSV file (opens in Excel/Google Sheets) or JSON file. One click and they've got their data in a format they can use anywhere.

Embed external content directly in your app — YouTube videos, Vimeo clips, Google Forms, or any embeddable content. It appears seamlessly inside your app.

Ask the user's device for their current GPS location. Great for showing nearby places, calculating distances, or personalizing content based on where someone is.

Add a real map to your app with markers, pins, and location detection. Users can see their location, browse nearby places, or view locations on a map.

Convert any part of your app into a downloadable PDF document. Perfect for reports, invoices, certificates, or anything users might want to print or save offline.

Your app can create QR codes (those square barcodes) for any text, URL, or data. It can also scan QR codes using the camera. Perfect for bridging physical and digital.

Give users a text editor with formatting options — bold, italic, headings, lists, links. Like writing in Google Docs but inside your app.

Adds native sharing — on mobile, it opens the system share sheet (text, WhatsApp, email, etc.). On desktop, it copies a link to the clipboard. One button, works everywhere.

Add sound effects to your app — a ping when a message arrives, a chime when a task is completed, a buzz for errors. Eight built-in sounds ready to use, plus you can add custom ones.
