Setup questions.

How long does setup take?

Plan a few days. The Builder steps take an afternoon; most of the waiting is for account checks and Google Play review.

What computer do I need?

Any recent Windows, macOS or Linux computer with a few gigabytes free for the Android tools the Builder downloads.

Can you help me set it up?

Yes. Support covers setup questions for 12 months. Message us before you buy if you'd like help with installation.

What do I need to run it?

A Google Play developer account, a Firebase project and a TMDB API key. For Links and Panel mode you also need a server or hosting with PHP 8.2 and MySQL for the panel. The setup guide lists every account and cost.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The Builder renames the apps, applies your icon and colours, connects Firebase, installs the panel on your server and builds signed APK and AAB files. Developers can do the same by hand in Android Studio, following the docs.
