When you are ready to share your app with the world — or even just with a colleague — Genie gives you several tools to control access and distribution. You can make your project public, grab a shareable link, allow others to fork it with the Remix feature, and connect a custom domain so your app lives at your own URL.

​
Public vs. private

Every project in Genie has a visibility setting that is either public or private. You control this with the Visibility toggle in Settings > General.
A public project is accessible to anyone who has the link — no Genie account required to view the live app. Public projects can also appear in community listings on Genie.When to use: when you want to share your app with customers, collaborators, or the general public.
Changing visibility takes effect immediately after you click Save in project settings. There is no delay or re-deployment step.
There is no separate “unlisted” state — a project is either fully public or fully private. The toggle in Settings > General is the only control you need. Each project has a persistent URL you can send to anyone. You can find this URL in Settings > General or by copying it directly from your browser’s address bar when you are viewing the live app.
1

Make the project public

In Settings > General, turn on the Visibility toggle and click Save.
2

Copy the URL

Copy the project URL from your browser’s address bar, or from the URL shown in Settings > General.
3

Share it

Paste the URL into an email, a chat message, or anywhere else. Recipients can open the live app immediately.

​
Remixable projects

Making your project remixable allows other Genie users to create their own independent copy of your app with a single click. This is similar to “forking” in version control — the person who remixes gets a full copy they can customize without affecting your original.

​
Enabling remixing

1

Open Settings

Click Settings in the project view to open the project settings dialog.
2

Go to the General tab

The General tab is selected by default.
3

Turn on Remixable

Toggle the Remixable switch to on.
4

Save

Click Save. A Remix button now appears on your project for other signed-in users.

​
What happens when someone remixes

When a signed-in user clicks Remix on your project:
  1. Genie creates a new project in their account.
  2. The new project is a complete copy of your generated app at the moment of remixing.
  3. Genie records that the new project was remixed from yours (tracked internally for attribution).
  4. The user is redirected to their new project, where they can prompt Genie to make further changes.
Changes the other user makes to their remixed copy have no effect on your original project.
Remixing requires the user to be signed in to Genie. If an unauthenticated visitor clicks Remix, they are redirected to the login page and then returned to complete the remix after signing in.
The Remixable toggle only has a visible effect when the project is also public. If your project is private, the Remix button is not shown even if Remixable is enabled.

​
Custom domains

You can connect a custom domain to your project so your app is accessible at a URL you own — for example, app.yourbusiness.com — instead of the default genie-app.de subdomain. Custom domain configuration is managed through Genie Cloud. Your project must have Genie Cloud connected before you can attach a custom domain.
1

Connect Genie Cloud

If you have not already done so, open Settings > Cloud and connect Genie Cloud to your project. See Genie Cloud overview for instructions.
2

Add your domain

In your Genie Cloud dashboard, navigate to the domain settings for your project and enter the custom domain you want to use.
3

Update your DNS

Follow the DNS instructions provided by Genie Cloud. You will typically need to add a CNAME record pointing your domain to the Genie Cloud-provided hostname.
4

Wait for propagation

DNS changes can take a few minutes to several hours to take effect globally. Once propagated, your app is accessible at your custom domain.
Once your custom domain is active, visitors who go to your Genie URL are redirected automatically, so you can share either address without breaking anything.
