A Bolt.new Alternative Built for Production
Bolt.new made prompt-to-project generation feel immediate, and it is excellent for exploring an idea. Getting that idea to production is a different job. This page looks at how BYOB handles the pieces that appear after the prototype works.

See what builders ship, or start from an example.
Live workspace
Code, chat, and preview in one place.
The workspace is built for repeated product work, not disposable demos. Every generated file stays inspectable, every change is visible, and every follow-up can target the exact part of the app you care about.
01 · EDITOR
Generated code, ready to edit.
Every file BYOB writes stays visible and editable. Follow-ups target the exact lines you care about instead of regenerating from scratch.
- Added lines highlighted the moment they land
<script lang='ts'>type Task = { id: string; title: string; done: boolean
}let tasks = $state<Task[]>([])function toggleTask(id: string) {task.done = !task.done // just added by BYOB}</script>02 · AI COMMAND
Plan, build, and refine in one chat.
Describe the outcome once. BYOB turns it into a build plan, implements it step by step, and keeps every change visible while you iterate.
- Build plan with live progress you can inspect
Your prompt
“Build a todo app for beginners”
Build plan
80%- Task list UI + empty state
- Add + toggle actions
- Progress summary…
03 · LIVE PREVIEW
See every change the second it lands.
The preview updates as BYOB works, with deploy status attached, so the path from edit to production stays inspectable.
- Real app state, not a static mockup
Team Tasks
Shared task tracking
- Wireframe landing page
- Task list component
- Responsive polish + QA
Prompt to app
From first prompt to a workspace you can ship.
Start conversationally, approve the shape, let Tool Mode implement, then refine and deploy from the same workspace.
- 01 Describe the product Start with the outcome, audience, and any constraints. BYOB turns the idea into a practical build plan.
- 02 Shape the UX Review the proposed flows, screens, data needs, and visual direction before code starts moving.
- 03 Generate the app Tool Mode writes SvelteKit code, connects integrations, and keeps each change visible in preview.
- 04 Test and refine Ask for edits, roll back when needed, run checks, and keep the project editable instead of disposable.
- 05 Deploy Ship the finished app, connect domains, and keep iterating from the same workspace.
Agent and backend
Code with your agent, ship with a real backend.
Connect Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity to your project, then store data and ship to production without leaving the workspace.
- Approve project access from BYOB
- Installs the byob command
- Preview, deploy, git diff, DNS, credits, and code tools
npx -y byob-cli codex install Approve only the projects your agent can touch, then read context, edit files, inspect diffs, test previews, and roll back from your terminal.

Loved by builders
Rated 4.9/5 by developers and founders using BYOB to move from idea to shipped product.
Built for shipping
The parts that usually slow you down are already here.
BYOB handles product planning, implementation, preview, testing, database work, and deployment from one focused interface, with coding-agent access and production analytics when you want to keep working from your own terminal.
This part is hands-on. The cards drift until you touch them. Drag to rearrange, or press and hold one to feel it push back.
Agent integrations
Give Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity scoped access through BYOB CLI or Agent MCP. Your agent reads context, edits code, tests previews, and deploys from your terminal.
Git history and diffs
Every change lands as a commit. Inspect history, compare diffs, and see exactly what changed since the last deploy.
Inbox in every project
Every project ships with an inbox. Collect messages, leads, and feedback from your app without wiring a third party.
Email sending built in
Send magic links, OTP codes, and transactional mail from your own sender address. Resend-backed, no SMTP setup.
Google and magic-link login
Offer Continue with Google plus passwordless email codes. Sessions and callbacks are handled.
Custom domains and SSL
Point your domain at BYOB with guided DNS checks. Certificates are automatic.
Visual editing
Click any element in the live preview and describe the change. Copy, spacing, color, behavior.
AI testing agent
Run full-site or feature checks and get implementation-level feedback you can apply in one step.
Version rollback
Step between saved states or redeploy a known commit when an experiment goes sideways.
One-click deploy
Builds publish to production hosting in one step. Deploys can auto-save the project state first.
Deployment analytics
Worker traffic, errors, CPU timing, subrequests, and custom-domain status from the workspace.
Supabase aware
Connect Supabase and BYOB reads schemas, drafts migrations, and generates types that match your app.
Team collaboration
Invite people in and keep sessions coordinated so work never overwrites work.
- Vision inputs
- Voice coding
- Project templates
- SEO-ready output
- Context tracking
- Model lock

Bolt.new is a fast prompt-based environment for generating and previewing web projects. BYOB is a Bolt.new alternative aimed at production: it adds a persistent data, login, payment integrations and one-click edge publishing, so the generated project can run for real users rather than staying a demo.
Prototyping versus producing
Bolt.new shines in the first hour. You describe an interface, it appears, and you keep iterating without ceremony. That speed is genuinely useful. Production asks harder questions: where does data live, who can sign in, what happens on publish, and how is the project maintained. BYOB is designed around those questions, so the prototype and the production app are the same codebase rather than two separate efforts.
A data that survives a refresh
Many generated demos store everything in memory or local state, which resets constantly. BYOB connects projects to a managed data from the start. You define tables, the generator writes the queries and forms, and records persist between sessions. A page refresh no longer erases a signup. If you already run a data source, you can point BYOB at that instead and keep your existing schema.
Authentication and payments
Real products need accounts and money. BYOB generates Better Auth sessions for email and OAuth sign-in, along with protected routes, so a user sees only their own data. For paid features you can integrate built-in payments checkout and webhooks. Having these in the project from the beginning avoids the awkward retrofit that happens when a prototype suddenly needs real users.
Deployment and custom domains
BYOB publishes to edge infrastructure with a single action and supports pointing a custom domain at the result. That removes the usual gap between a generated repository and a live URL. If your team prefers to manage infrastructure, the same project exports and runs anywhere is supported, so the publishing path is a convenience rather than a requirement. Certificates are handled for you, so there is no separate publishing stack to babysit.
Choosing between Bolt.new and BYOB
Pick Bolt.new when you want to sketch an interface quickly or test an idea with no intention of putting it in front of users yet. Pick BYOB when the goal is a running application with data and logins. Some builders use both: rough out the concept in Bolt.new, then build the real version in BYOB. The showcase is the quickest way to judge the output quality.
