Definition
AppGyver is a no-code application development platform for visually building web, mobile, and enterprise apps without writing traditional code, acquired by SAP in 2021 and later evolved into SAP Build Apps.
Overview
AppGyver started as an independent no-code startup focused on letting non-programmers assemble functional, cross-platform applications through a visual canvas rather than writing code by hand. SAP acquired AppGyver in 2021 and initially offered it as a free standalone product before folding it into the SAP Business Technology Platform and eventually rebranding it as SAP Build Apps. The platform centers on a drag-and-drop visual builder where users compose screens from pre-built UI components, wire up logic using visual flow-based workflows, and connect to data through REST APIs and other integrations — with the option to drop into custom JavaScript for logic that the visual tools don't cover. A single app definition can be published across web, iOS, Android, and progressive web app targets. Compared with consumer-oriented no-code builders like Bubble and Adalo, AppGyver's positioning under SAP leans more toward enterprise use cases, particularly building custom front-ends that connect to SAP and other enterprise data sources. It is sometimes evaluated alongside Figma.
