Prompt-to-app tools start from nothing. Lindi starts from your product.
They generate a new app from a description. Lindi opens the app you already ship — and its Build mode does the same thing, on the real codebase, through the same review.
Lovable, v0 and Bolt share a shape: describe an app, get an app. For something that does not exist yet that is a remarkable shape — a working first version in an afternoon, from a blank project. The project is theirs; the code comes out when you export or sync it, and from that moment there are two of it.
Lindi keeps the part that works — describe a change, watch it land — and changes what it points at. Build mode runs on your shipped frontend, on a branch of your repo, and what it makes leaves as a pull request. A designer can also just take the canvas and do it by hand. They are different jobs: one starts an app, the other changes the one you have.
Lovable and Lindi, row by row.
| Feature | Lovable | Lindi |
|---|---|---|
| What it starts from | A prompt, and a blank project | Your shipped frontend, open on a canvas |
| What it edits | The app it generated | The app you already have — and the ones Build mode generates |
| Where the code lives | Its own project; exported or synced to yours later | Your repo, on a branch, from the first change |
| For a designer | Describe it, wait, describe it again | Adjust it by hand in Design mode; ask for the rest in Build mode |
| Review | Optional, after the fact | A pull request, before anything lands |
| The design system | Whatever the model reaches for | Yours — the components already in the repo |
| Drift | The generated app and your product diverge from day one | There is one app |
| Where it belongs | A new app from zero, fast | Changing the product you ship |
Not a replacement. A different job.
- Use Lovable for
Starting something: a prototype, a side project, a first version of an app that does not exist yet, in an afternoon.
- Use Lindi for
Changing something that exists — the button, the flow, the screen in the product your users already have — with engineering in the loop.
