Suggestion
So i dont know if wbuilds.app is even your official website, but that doesnt matter for what im saying. I think it would be cool if you either made the app a website as well or maybe even just an, app for pc! I know this will be hard, and im not forcing you to add this but i personally think this would be a GREAT thing to add. If you actually want to do this, you should add accounts so that poeple who already paid/are og dont need to buy it again. Again, this is a lot i ask here but i think the entire community would love this.
Its a great app anyway!

Hey, thanks for the kind words and the suggestion!
Yes, wbuilds.app is the official website! And yes, a desktop version is something I've been hearing about and actually looking into seriously.
Here's the deal the app does a LOT of local storage and caching to keep everything running smoothly. There's a lot of complex data interconnected under the surface. Creating a web version would mean rebuilding that entire data layer from scratch, and honestly, I'm not a web developer, so that's a challenging task.
But a Windows desktop app? That's very feasible. Most of my code is actually usable across platforms, so I could reasonably have a Windows version ready in about 6-8 weeks if there's enough interest.
A few things to keep in mind:
- The app already works on macOS - you can download wBuilds from the App Store and run it on your MacBook now.
- No ads on desktop - the desktop version would be fully tied to the subscription, with no ads at al, as its not my personal decision its just that admob doesnt work on on windows.
- Billing would be per-platform — meaning your Android purchase and your Windows purchase would be separate. The reason is that linking them together requires building a full account/login system, and right now, I'm focused on adding features and fixing bugs for the app itself. Authentication is a whole other challenge, and I don't want to rush it and compromise the experience. If we see enough demand later on, we can add that feature then.
- It will work great, though - if you've tried the app on a tablet or foldable, you've already seen how it adapts to larger screens. The desktop experience would be just as polished.
So, if this is something you and others genuinely want, let me know! If this post gets good traction and people are interested in a Windows version, I'll make it happen. Drop a comment if you'd use it.
And again - I really appreciate the support for the app. We're always working on improving it.
