📲 Installed in seconds

On the home screen in seconds

Your app runs as a Progressive Web App, so it installs straight from the browser. No app store, no download, no account. Your community taps two or three times and the app sits full-screen on their home screen, just like a native app. It barely uses any storage, updates itself, and is online in seconds instead of waiting days for store approval.

📦 Barely any storage 🔄 Always up to date automatically 🔓 No store account needed

Important for iPhone: the page must be open in Safari – not in Chrome or an in-app browser (e.g. from Instagram).

Frequently asked questions

Can I build my own app without any coding skills?

Yes. With BauDir you build your own app entirely without coding: upload your logo, choose colors and assemble your content in the builder. The first live version is usually ready in under 5 minutes – with no app store.

How do I build my own app?

With BauDir you build your own app in minutes – no coding and no app store: create an account, upload your logo and choose colors, assemble your content in the builder and put up the QR code. Your own app, with your name and logo, is then on your community's home screen – on iPhone, Android and desktop. 14 days free, no credit card.

What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is an app that installs directly from the browser. It has its own icon on the home screen, runs full-screen and can send push notifications, but needs no app store, no Apple or Google account and no review wait. Every BauDir app is exactly such a PWA.

Is BauDir a GDPR-compliant alternative to a WhatsApp group?

Yes. Instead of a WhatsApp group, you get your own branded app with push notifications. Hosting is exclusively on EU servers in Germany (Hetzner), with no data transfer to Meta and with a DPA in place. So you reach members or parents in a privacy-compliant way, without sharing private phone numbers.

What does a club app or daycare app cost?

Your own club or daycare app costs a fixed monthly price at BauDir, from €29,99. No setup fee, no app-store commission, cancel monthly. 14 days free to try, no credit card.

Does the app work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Your BauDir app runs on iPhone, iPad, Android devices and desktop – the same app adapts everywhere. On iPhone it's added to the home screen in Safari, on Android in Chrome, with just a few taps.

Can I send push notifications to my members?

Yes. You can send push notifications straight to your community's devices at any time – for canceled training, closing days or promotions. It works without WhatsApp and without access to private phone numbers.

What does your own app with BauDir cost?

A fixed monthly price. No setup fee, no app-store commission, cancel monthly. 14 days free to try, no credit card.

PWA or native app – which is better for my club?

A Progressive Web App feels like a native app to your users: its own icon on the home screen, full-screen, push notifications. The difference is everything around it: no app store, no Apple or Google fees, no review wait, and updates go live instantly. For clubs, daycares and shops it's almost always the faster and cheaper solution. And on privacy it's ahead anyway.

Who is BauDir for?

For anyone who wants to reach their community without app-store hassle: sports clubs, daycares and kindergartens, cafés and shops, communities, music and fitness schools, and events.

Can I export or take my content with me later?

Your text and images belong to you. On request, we'll provide your content to you.

Do I need an Apple or Google account?

No. Your app is a Progressive Web App and runs straight in the browser: no app-store upload, no developer account, no review wait.

How do my members install the app?

Your app doesn't come from the app store – it's added straight to the home screen from the browser (Progressive Web App). This works a little differently depending on the device:

iPhone & iPad (Safari only):
1. Scan the QR code with the camera or open the link in Safari.
2. Open the Share menu: on older iPhones, tap the Share icon at the bottom (a square with an upward arrow). On newer iPhones (iOS 26 and later), tap the "•••" menu on the right of the address bar instead.
3. Choose "Add to Home Screen" (you may need to scroll down a little in the list) and confirm with "Add".
Note: on iPhone, installation only works in Safari – not in Chrome or Firefox.

Android (Chrome & co.):
1. Scan the QR code or open the link in Chrome.
2. Tap the "Install app" banner that appears automatically – or choose "Install app" or "Add to Home screen" from the menu (three dots).
3. Confirm with "Install".

The app then sits on the home screen with your logo and opens full-screen, just like a native app. On desktop (Chrome/Edge), an install icon appears on the right of the address bar instead.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Hosting exclusively on EU servers (Hetzner), encrypted connections, no data transfer to Apple or Google. DPA included.

Do I need a cookie banner for analytics?

No. Our optional Premium analytics record only anonymous daily counters (e.g. page views) – with no cookies, no IP storage and no profiling. Since no personal data is processed, neither consent nor a cookie banner is required.

Do I need technical know-how?

Not at all. In the page builder you drag blocks together and see your app live. Upload your logo, choose colors, done.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, cancel monthly. No minimum term and no setup fee; it stays at the fixed monthly price of your plan. You can try it free for 14 days beforehand.

What happens to my Premium content if I switch from Premium to Standard?

Your existing content stays in place and visible in your app: Premium blocks (video, image slider, table, reviews, pricing table) you've already added, as well as extra pages/tabs beyond the Standard limit, keep showing and remain editable. On the Standard plan you simply can't add any NEW Premium blocks or additional pages, and the subtle "Powered by BauDir" notice reappears in the Info tab. Push notifications you've already scheduled still go out at the chosen time. As soon as you switch back to Premium, you can use everything without restrictions.

What happens after the trial?

If you don't take out a subscription, your app is automatically deactivated when the 14-day trial ends and is then no longer reachable. With a subscription you can reactivate it any time.

Is my data deleted if I don't subscribe?

Yes. If you don't reactivate your app after the trial, all content – images, text, the entire layout, your URL, everything – is permanently and irreversibly deleted 14 days after deactivation.
