Lovable Alternative If You Actually Need a Native Mobile App

Of the major AI app builders, Lovable has the cleanest, most explicit scope: web apps, full stop. Per Lovable's own documentation, there's no native iOS or Android output — not a limited version, not a roadmap item, just genuinely out of scope for what the product is built to do.
Why that's worth knowing before you start
If what you actually need is something installable from the App Store or Google Play — not a website that happens to look app-like on a phone browser — Lovable was never going to get you there, no matter how the prompt is worded. That's not a criticism of Lovable's execution within its own scope; it's a category mismatch worth catching before you've sunk time into the wrong tool.
What a real native path looks like
Burgndy.ai takes the same one-sentence-description starting point and compiles it to a real Flutter app — a genuine .apk/.aab (+.ipa), tested on real Android emulator and iOS Simulator infrastructure, submitted through a built-in App Store Connect / Google Play pipeline. If Studio's web-generation path fits your project instead, it deploys to a real, permanently-hosted web app too — so the same product covers both cases rather than forcing a choice upfront.
