What AppNest does
AppNest lets you connect an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT, ask it to build a small app, and deploy that app to a public AppNest URL with persistent shared state.
AppNest is currently operated by Charles Squeri as an early sole-proprietor project.
Information AppNest collects
- Account information from Google sign-in, such as your name, email address, profile image, and Google account identifier.
- Generated app metadata, such as app name, description, slug, status, deployment history, and capability schema.
- Uploaded deployment files, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other assets your AI assistant asks AppNest to deploy.
- Data stored inside generated apps, such as RSVP responses, poll votes, score entries, list items, or form submissions.
- Operational data, such as OAuth session records, audit events, request IDs, timestamps, status codes, and error details.
- Basic technical data your browser or AI client sends with requests, such as IP address, user agent, and request headers.
How AppNest uses information
AppNest uses this information to authenticate you, create and deploy apps, keep app data available, show your apps in the dashboard, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, and maintain service security.
Public generated apps
In v1, generated apps are public by link. Anyone with a generated app URL can open the app and may be able to read or write data depending on how the app was built. Do not put private, regulated, confidential, or sensitive information into generated apps unless AppNest later offers a private app capability that fits that use.
AI assistants and third-party services
When you use AppNest from Claude, ChatGPT, or another compatible AI client, that client also processes the conversation and tool calls according to its own terms and privacy policy. AppNest uses Google for sign-in and Cloudflare for hosting, storage, and network infrastructure.
Retention and deletion
You can delete generated apps you own from the dashboard. Deleting an app removes the live app resources AppNest controls. AppNest may retain limited operational records, audit logs, or backups where needed for security, reliability, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.
Security
AppNest uses OAuth for account connection, HTTPS for public endpoints, per-app storage isolation for backed apps, and an AppNest-authored generation engine for server-side behavior. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, but AppNest is designed to keep generated frontend code separate from AppNest's backend infrastructure.
Your choices
- You can disconnect AppNest from the AI client where you enabled it.
- You can delete apps you own from the AppNest dashboard.
- You can choose not to include sensitive information in public generated apps.
