Part 1 — Connect your backend
Connect your backend to your SnapApp project.
SnapApp uses Supabase for accounts, data, and files. You connect your own Supabase account once from the desktop app, and SnapApp sets up the database for each project you build.
Connecting to
Backend
Before you start
A free Supabase account
Sign up at supabase.com. The free plan is enough to start building and testing.
SnapApp installed
Use the latest SnapApp desktop app for Mac or Windows, and open the project you want to connect.
A project to connect
Each SnapApp project connects to its own Supabase project, so data stays separate.
SnapApp connects to Supabase with your permission using a secure sign-in. You stay the owner of your Supabase account, your data, and your project — you can disconnect at any time.
Step by step
From SnapApp to your database.
Select any step to see where you are. Work through them in order when you’re ready to publish.
- Go to supabase.com and create an account with email or GitHub.
- Confirm your email address so your account is ready to use.
- You don’t need to create a project by hand — SnapApp can create one for you during the connection.
