Build a no-code app without AI guesswork: same specification, same app, every time
Sheetward builds your app from an App Specification you approve — drafted with AI or written yourself — so the app never changes unless you change the specification.
Glide, AppSheet, Softr or Sheetward: who owns your business rules?
Compare where Glide, AppSheet, Softr, Sheetcast, AI app builders and Sheetward keep your business rules — and what you take with you if you ever leave.
My new app has no data — where did my rows go?
Sheetward reads your workbook to design the app, not to load its rows — use Import to bring your data in.
Turn your spreadsheet into a web app
Upload an Excel workbook or Google Sheets and get a multi-user web app in minutes — no code, no prompt.
Workspaces and apps: how your Sheetward account is organised
Your workspace is your Sheetward account — the home for all your apps, your team members, and your plan.
Apps & forms · 4
Add a form or change an existing one
Edit your App Specification workbook and re-upload it through Change app to add forms or fields — your existing records are kept.
Create and update apps with AI
Three optional assistants — Draft, Revise and Reshape with AI — write or repair your App Specification workbook, and nothing is built until you approve it.
Fix the "Your plan allows N forms per app" message
Each plan caps how many forms and surveys one app can have. Remove a Form_ or Survey_ sheet, or upgrade your plan.
Publish an app to the web
Give an app a public, read-only page — a catalog, an agenda, a price list — and choose exactly which fields the public sees.
Rules & formulas · 3
Make a field required, set limits, or validate what people enter
Add a Rules_ sheet to your workbook to require fields, set number and date limits, and check input before it is saved.
Number records automatically (invoice numbers, ticket IDs)
Give a field an auto rule and Sheetward assigns the next running number to every new record for you.
Protect sensitive data in your app
Mark fields sensitive to mask them on screen, encrypt values at rest, and control who can export real values.
Import & export · 2
Export your records to Excel or Google Sheets
Download an app's records whenever you need them; sensitive fields stay masked unless an owner chooses to include them.
Import data into your app
Load records into your app from Excel or Google Sheets, and let matching key values update existing records instead of creating duplicates.
Analytics & dashboards · 2
Add another dashboard when you've reached your plan's limit
Each app gets a set number of dashboards from your plan; to add more, remove a `Report_` sheet or upgrade.
Build a dashboard from your app's data
Add a Report_ sheet to your workbook and Sheetward turns it into a dashboard with KPI tiles, charts and an interactive pivot.
Account & billing · 2
Change or cancel your plan
Any workspace admin can upgrade or downgrade from the Admin console — only the owner can cancel — and a downgrade first checks that you fit the smaller plan's limits.
Choose the right plan — what Basic, Pro, Max and Enterprise include
Compare what Basic, Pro, Max and Enterprise include, and switch plans anytime.

Back up your workspace and get data back when you need it
Download a backup of your workspace anytime, turn on automatic backups, restore deleted apps from the recycle bin, or bring everything back from a backup file or restore point.
Copy an app to another workspace
Send a copy of an app (and optionally its records) to another workspace with the destination admin's approval, leaving your original untouched.
Invite your team and choose the right role for each person
Add people to your workspace and give each one a role that matches what they need to do — Admin, Builder, or Member.
Set up separate Dev, Staging and Prod workspaces
On a plan that allows it, you can run extra workspaces — for example Dev, Staging and Prod — under one login.
Sheetward Workflow: Setting up an approval workflow
Send records like expense claims through draft, submitted, and approved or rejected, with two named approvers and a full history of who did what.
