Pi Network launches App Studio inside Pi Browser, enabling users to create and run custom apps using no-code tools on mobile devices.
Pi Network has launched a new App Studio inside its Pi Browser, expanding its development tools for users.
The feature allows app creation without coding and is designed for mobile use. The update reflects Pi Network’s effort to grow its internal ecosystem through user-built applications.
App Studio Released Inside Pi Browser
Pi Network confirmed that the App Studio is available only within the Pi Browser mobile app. Users cannot access app creation tools through the Pi Desktop App.
This setup keeps development activity inside the Pi Network environment.

The App Studio allows users to build, test, and deploy applications directly. All processes run within the browser and connect to Pi Network services.
This approach reduces reliance on external platforms and tools.
Pi Network stated that the studio supports custom app creation for approved use cases. Apps must follow existing platform rules and standards.
The company did not announce support for external app publishing.
No Code Tools Designed for Wider Access
The App Studio uses no-code tools that remove the need for programming skills. Users can build applications using templates and visual controls.
Backend services and payment functions are handled automatically.
Pi Network designed the tools for users with limited technical experience. The system supports interface customization and basic logic settings.
This structure allows faster development and testing cycles.
The platform supports Pi based transactions within apps. Developers do not need to integrate external payment systems.
This keeps financial activity within the Pi ecosystem and follows network rules.

Focus on Mobile Development and Security
Pi Network said the mobile-only approach reflects its user base. Most users access Pi through smartphones, and tools are optimized for mobile screens.
The company has focused on consistency across devices.
Restricting development to Pi Browser allows tighter security control. Apps run within a managed environment and follow built in safeguards.
This reduces risks linked to external hosting or unknown software.
The company stated that keeping all development inside Pi Browser improves compatibility. Users can access apps without additional downloads. This setup also simplifies app updates and maintenance.
Support Resources and Ecosystem Growth
Pi Network provides written guides and video tutorials for the App Studio. These resources explain app creation, testing, and deployment steps.
The materials are available within the Pi Browser.
The company said education is part of its platform strategy. Tutorials are designed for beginners and non-developers. This may increase participation from users with business or service ideas.
Custom apps may include local services, marketplaces, or tools for daily use. Pi Network aims to expand real-world activity inside its ecosystem.
The App Studio supports that goal through user-generated applications.
