Overview

Hero
Get Started
Glitch is a collaborative platform designed to make web app development easy and approachable for everyone. Using an intuitive online code editor, users can create, edit, and deploy web applications in real-time—with no initial setup required. The platform supports live previews, instant collaboration on projects, and a vibrant community where users of all skill levels can share, remix, and learn from millions of community-built apps. Note: Glitch project hosting and user profiles will be shut down on 8th July 2025, but dashboards and code downloads remain available until the end of 2025.

How It Works

  • Create and Collaborate: Work together on web app projects in real-time, similar to Google Docs.
  • No Setup Required: Instantly start coding in an intuitive online environment.
  • Live Updates: See real-time changes as you type—your app updates immediately.
  • Remix Projects: Build from scratch or remix existing community apps for inspiration or a quick start.
  • Machine Learning Integration (for select projects): Use machine learning features in creative apps, such as having algorithms continue your art or code in selected categories.

FAQs

What are private projects?

All Glitch projects are public by default. For existing paid members, private projects allow control over who can view or edit their code, and who can see their live Glitch projects.

What is "always-on"?

With the Starter plan, full-stack apps go to sleep after five minutes of inactivity. They wake up when visited but may show a loading screen. Always-on apps, a feature for existing Pro subscribers, do not sleep, and only editing time is counted against project hours.

What else does the Pro plan include?

In addition to boosted full-stack apps that are always-on and private projects, the Pro plan (for existing subscribers) includes robust access control, more project hours, and no rate limits.

Is Glitch ending its web hosting services?

Yes, Glitch project hosting and user profiles will be shut down on 8th July 2025. Users can access their dashboard to download code and set up subdomain redirects until the end of 2025.
