Develop apps

This section is your go-to place when you are developing. It gives you an overview of all tools you have at your disposal as a VIKTOR developer, including the different ways of creating apps, an overview of all VIKTOR components and tutorials on how to use them.

Two ways to build a VIKTOR app

VIKTOR offers two ways to build apps: the App Builder and local development. Both produce the same kind of VIKTOR app — the difference is in how you write and manage the code.

App Builder

• Browser-based environment
• AI assitant
• Great for getting started quickly.

Local development

• Write your app code in your preferred IDE on your own computer
• Better suited for larger or more complex apps.

See Two ways to build a VIKTOR app for a side-by-side comparison.
