⚙️  How it works

Low-code solutions like Locofy make the entire development process faster and better, taking you from design to launch.

Design. You probably make your designs and website mockups on Figma, Sketch or Adobe. Use those same tools with the Locofy plugin!

• Get access to pre-built components like buttons, labels, inputs and more. Then, drag and drop them into your design!

Prototype. Say goodbye to wasting time building prototypes. Build a live, responsive prototype that runs on code— without writing code at all.

Convert to code! Launch faster than ever. Once your designs are ready, Locofy writes production-ready (aka, ready-to-ship) frontend code for both mobile and web.

• This can save 50–60% of developers' time! Just export the code or add it to Github.
• They speak your language. Convert to React, Vue, Angular, HTML/CSS, SwiftUI, Flutter, React Native and more.

😱  Killing developer jobs?

Nope. Low-code startups lessen the menial work for developers. By automating these, developers can focus on more complex problems.

On the business side, low-code helps you launch faster and spend less $$$ on product development!

• In 2021, there were 1.4M unfilled developer jobs in the US alone— and the number only seems to be growing.
• By 2025, it's estimated that nearly 60% of part-time developers and a third of full-time developers will be low-code developers.
