# Sharing Your App

> Share your Vibecode apps with friends and users

With Vibecode, you can share your app with anyone without going through the App Store first.

## How Sharing Works

To share an app, it must be **published** first. If it is not published yet, Vibecode will prompt you to publish it before sharing.

Once published, you can:

* Open the published app link
* Copy the published app link
* Share it directly to supported social channels
* Send the link by message or email

## Where to Share From

Open your project, use the **Share** control, and Vibecode will show:

* A preview of the published app
* Whether the app is published yet
* The published URL
* Quick share and copy actions

## Sharing Tips

* Publish before sending the link so other people can open the latest version
* Double-check the published app on your own device before sharing widely
* If you make important changes, republish and resend the updated link

<Note>
  Sharing a published app is different from App Store distribution. Sharing gives people direct access to the published app link without going through the App Store review process.
