Start your app from a template with CI, previews and tests in place

Pick a web app, blog, payments or admin dashboard template in a GitHub repository you own. SHIP then builds each feature, upgrades dependencies and patches security advisories, as reviewed, tested pull requests.

For: Founders who start a new product, technical or not.
Instead of: An app builder that hosts your code, or a starter kit you set up yourself.

Runs today: Connect a GitHub repository you already have. SHIP builds each feature as a reviewed, tested pull request, and scheduled missions upgrade dependencies, fix flaky tests and triage security advisories.

How it works

Pick a template and describe the product

Step 1

Choose a template

Choose a web app, blog, payments flow or admin dashboard. Each one comes with sign-in, a database, tests and a deploy pipeline already set up.

Step 2

Own the repository from day one

The template starts as a repository in your own GitHub account. You own the code and its history, and you decide where it runs.

Step 3

Describe what to build next

Write the next feature as an issue or a sentence. The agents plan, build, review and test it, and you merge the pull request.

Capabilities

Leave the setup and maintenance to SHIP

Get CI and previews on the first commit

Every template comes with a pipeline that tests each pull request and deploys a preview of it.

Maintain the project on a schedule

Scheduled missions upgrade dependencies, fix flaky tests and patch security advisories that affect your code. Each change comes as a pull request for you to merge.

Use your own models

Run the agents on your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai or OpenRouter keys, or on a subscription you already pay for.

Host the app wherever you like

Templates use standard frameworks in a plain repository. You can host the app anywhere and hand the code to any engineer.

Add features the same way later

Your tenth feature goes through the same CI, review and test as your first.

Lovable	Prices its plans by the credits they include, not by seats. Pricing Starts Pro at $25 a month for 100 credits. Plans Creates a new repository and starts a two-way sync when you link a project to GitHub. Git sync Hosts your published app. Hosting Manages the model its agent runs on. FAQ
Replit	Bills Agent work by effort, per checkpoint, with one checkpoint for each completed request. AI billing Publishes apps to its own cloud, and hosts published apps in the United States. Deployments Sets up a managed Postgres database with separate development and production environments. Database Adds sign-in with Replit Auth or Clerk Auth, set up by its Agent. Auth
SHIP	In early access Starts the template in your own GitHub repository. Puts every change through your CI, a code review and a test on a preview, on your own model keys.

Generally available Bills per mission: one credit covers one mission of up to 3 agent-hours, and your own provider bills model usage. Key facts

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are app templates available today?

Not yet. App templates are in early access. Today SHIP builds features on a GitHub repository you already have, and scheduled missions maintain it.

Who maintains the code after launch?

SHIP does, on a schedule you set. Maintenance missions upgrade dependencies, fix flaky tests and patch security advisories, and each change is a reviewed, tested pull request for you to merge.

Do I need to code?

No. You need a GitHub account and a model key or subscription for the agents, and you decide which pull requests to merge. SHIP writes the code, and each change comes with its review and test results.

When is Lovable or Replit the better fit?

Lovable or Replit fits better when you want to describe an app in chat and get it built and hosted in one place. Their own pages describe this. SHIP fits when the code should live in your own GitHub repository and every change should pass your CI, a review and a test.

Can I use SHIP on an app I already started?

Yes, today. Connect its GitHub repository, and SHIP builds each feature you describe as a reviewed, tested pull request. Scheduled missions upgrade dependencies, fix flaky tests and triage security advisories.
