Answers to some of the most asked questions from the Thunkable community
Thunkable is free to use to create public projects.
We offer paid plans for individuals and businesses looking for extra features to meet their needs. .
Public projects are included in the Thunkable Public Gallery for anyone to preview and remix. Private projects are not included in the Thunkable Gallery and are for your eyes only.
Private projects can only be shared with other Builder users. Please note: If you share your project with another Builder user, they have the ability to make the project public.
Thunkable projects are saved automatically. If you wish to create a snapshot of your app at a certain point in time, you can save a version of it. More information is available here: .
Sometimes, we need to lock access to projects to prevent unsaved changes and hours of lost work. We try to save your project frequently to avoid any loss of work. You will see the above error message and be unable to modify your project after four consecutive changes have occurred in your project without verification from our servers that a save has occurred. There are various potential reasons for this to occur, such as poor internet connection on your end or connection issues between the builder and our
Provisioning profile. After you revoke your certificate, it is possible that one or more of your provisioning profiles will become inactive. To publish successfully, you need to delete any inactive provisioning profiles.
Login. Ensure your Apple ID and password are entered correctly. Thunkable cannot access your credentials, so save them somewhere safe.
Apple ID and privacy terms. You must accept Apple's new Apple ID and privacy terms.

The first two are easily editable in your App Settings, but the keystore cannot be imported/exported.

Wait for the message to go away for up to 5 minutes.
Go grab a glass of water or enjoy a few brisk laps around your living/work space.
We will work to regain the connection once it's been lost. The lock will revert as soon as we regain a connection.
If the message has not gone away within 5 minutes, open a new tab, navigate to and open the project you were working on.
DON'T MAKE CHANGES YET!
If your project opened, return to the first tab.
If the lock message remains, close tab 1, continue in tab 2, and contact creator success.
If you've opened another tab and you don't have any connection to the internet, please keep the tab open until you regain internet connection and check the tab again at that time.
If the lock still hasn't gone away, you should refresh the tab. In cases of poor connection, we can't guarantee all changes will be preserved.
Also known as a "force reload" or a "force refresh," you can use a hard refresh of your browser to ensure you are on the latest version of Thunkable.
The keyboard shortcut to hard refresh your browser is Ctrl + F5. Your screen will blink momentarily. If this does not work for you, try clearing your browser cache.
On a Mac computer, you can use the Option + Cmd + R shortcut to force your browser to refresh. If this does not work for you, try clearing your browser cache.
Thunkable offers built-in integrations with other online services, as well as the opportunity to connect to a wide world of external online services using the Web API feature. Some of our integrations are listed below.
The animation component powered by Lottie makes adding animations as easy as adding images. For designers, animations can be created in Adobe After Effects or Haiku and imported as a .json file.
For the rest of us, there is a large and growing community of designers who have created free and editable animations that you can easily add to your app.
The Data Sources blocks allow you to perform a variety of CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on records you have stored in Airtable, Google Sheets, Webflow, or Local Tables.
Thunkers with Builder or Advanced plans can show ads from AdMob in their downloaded and published apps. This is subject to approval by Thunkable and AdMob.
Translate a string of text between two languages. Any language code from this list can be used. This block can be found in the Speech drawer of blocks.
This block will generate a written description of an image. It can be found in the Camera drawer of blocks.
Save media to the cloud using Cloudinary. This block can be found in the Camera drawer of blocks. You can connect your own Cloudinary account to your Thunkable project.
As well as using online Data Sources, you can use Cloud Variables which are supported by Firebase to save your data to the cloud.
You can use our Sign In feature which integrates with Firebase to manage user accounts.
Thunkers with Builder or Advanced plans can add push notifications supported by OneSignal to their project.
The Bluetooth low energy component can allow your app to communicate with other devices wirelessly.
Great data is an essential part of many apps built today, and the Web API feature enables apps to retrieve data from any public or private API (application programming interface) service on the web.
Thunkers with Builder or Advanced plans can add in-app purchases (IAP) supported by RevenueCat to their project.
No, .aia files are not compatible with Thunkable.
There is not a direct integration with an SQL server, however, it is possible to use the web API feature to connect with an SQL database.
To do this, you need to build a RESTful API that allows you to communicate with the Database Server using HTTP requests and receive a response in JSON format.
We recommend reading this helpful blog post by Microsoft on this topic. It also includes a short tutorial on creating such an API with Node.js.
No, uploading extensions built for other platforms to Thunkable is not supported.
Please contact creator success.
