About Playcode
AI app and website builder, trusted by 1.1M+ developers since 2016
Our Story
How Playcode started
Playcode launched in 2016 as an in-browser playground for developers learning by doing. What started as a one-week project to build a sandbox for a game idea became a daily tool for tens of thousands of developers, then hundreds of thousands, then over 1.1 million. Today Playcode serves 26 million projects across 100+ countries.
In 2024, AI changed the equation. The same browser-based runtime now serves people who don't write code at all - small business owners, founders, agencies, owner-operators. Describe what you want; AI builds it. Apps, sites, internal tools - all from a chat.
Playcode is built by a small focused team based in Europe. We believe the best software tools are owned by the people who use them - so every project on Playcode is real, exportable code, with no vendor lock-in.
