Managing your workspace apps

Manage the apps in your workspace. Search and filter, group apps in folders, share, rename, and clone them, move or transfer apps, and delete or restore an app.

The Apps page is your central hub for everything you build in Base44. Group apps into folders to keep your workspace tidy as your project list grows, share them with collaborators or people outside your workspace, and manage the full lifecycle of each app from renaming and cloning through to deletion.

To change which workspace an app lives in, move it to another workspace. To change who owns it, transfer app ownership. You do both from inside the app, not from its card on the Apps page.

Searching and filtering your apps

Use the search bar and filters at the top of the Apps page to find exactly what you need. You can also switch between a grid view and a list view.

To search, filter, or sort your apps:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Use the options at the top of the page:
   • Search: Enter an app name in the search bar. Search also matches an app’s description, its creator, an owner’s email address, and an app ID you paste in.
   • Filter by ownership: In a shared workspace, workspace admins and owners may be able to switch between Created by me and All apps. This filter does not appear in every workspace or role.
   • Sort: Order apps by Last edited, Last created, App name A-Z, or Most visitors. Under Most visitors, choose Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, or Last 30 days.
   • Switch view: On desktop, select Grid view or List view.

Star any app to add it to your Favorites section in the left sidebar of your workspace for quick access.

Organizing your apps into folders

Group your apps into folders to keep your workspace organized. Folders are visible to everyone in your workspace. Apps that are in a folder no longer appear in the main apps list.

Each app can only be in one folder at a time.

Using folders to manage your apps

Creating a folder

Folders appear at the top of your Apps page, so your most important groups are always easy to find. Once created, you can add any of your apps to a folder from the Apps page.

To create a folder:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Click New folder at the top right.
3. Enter a name in the Folder name field.
4. Click Create.

Adding apps to a folder

You can add apps to a folder from the Apps page or from inside the folder itself.

To add apps to a folder:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Click the More actions icon on the folder card, or open the folder and click the More actions icon next to the folder name.
3. Click Add apps.
4. Search for or select the apps you want to add.
5. Click Move.

Adding apps to a folder

You can also move an app to a folder from the app card. Click the More actions icon on the app, click Move to folder, and select the folder you want to move it to.

Cloning an app from your Apps page

To clone your app:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Click the More actions icon on the app card.
3. Click Clone app.

Cloning copies your app’s full code, including pages, design, backend functions, and logic. Your app’s data is not included, so the cloned app starts with an empty database. Any connected integrations are copied but need to be reconnected.

Moving an app between workspaces

Move an app when it belongs in a different workspace, such as your team’s workspace or a client’s. The app keeps its data, settings, and owner, and from then on it uses the new workspace’s plan and credits. To hand the app to another person instead, see Transferring app ownership. If you can’t find Move app or the move doesn’t go through, check the cases at the end of this section.

Before you move an app:

• You need to own the workspace the app is in now. Owning the app isn’t enough. On an Enterprise plan (Business or Enterprise), workspace admins can move apps out too, depending on the App transfers setting.
• You and the app owner both need an editor role or higher in the workspace you’re moving the app to. The app owner doesn’t change when you move it.
• If that workspace is on the Free plan, it needs room for another app.
• You can’t move an app you purchased from the marketplace.

To move an app:

1. Go to your app’s dashboard.
2. Click Overview.
3. Click the More actions icon next to View usage.
4. Click Move app.
5. Select a workspace from the Target Workspace drop-down.
6. Click Move App.

Moving an app to another workspace

What happens when you move an app:

• Your app’s Base44 address doesn’t change, and you don’t need to publish again.
• The app uses the new workspace’s credits, and members there with the right role can open it.
• Collaborators keep their access. Any who aren’t members of the new workspace join it as guests.
• A connected custom domain stays with the app as long as the new workspace’s plan includes custom domains.
• GitHub sync, custom connectors, and bank account connections disconnect, so you connect them again in the new workspace.
• A Google Ads account on the app closes and its campaigns pause. Moving the app back doesn’t restore them.

If you’re having problems moving your app, or want to move it to your other account, find your situation below.

I can't see the option to move my app

Move app only shows in the menu when you’re able to move the app. It’s hidden in these cases.

• You don’t belong to any other workspace. Create a workspace or join one first.
• You don’t own the app’s current workspace. On most plans, only the workspace owner can move apps out, so ask them to move it for you.
• App transfers are turned off for the workspace. Learn how to choose who can move apps.
• You’re a viewer or guest in the workspace.

My app can't move to that workspace

After you select a workspace, the Move App to Workspace window tells you if something blocks the move. These are the most common reasons.

• The app owner isn’t an editor or higher in that workspace. Invite them to the workspace as an editor, then try again.
• The workspace is on the Free plan and has no room for another app. Upgrade its plan or delete an app there.
• The app has an unpaid Google Ads balance. Use the link in the window to pay it, then try again.

I want to move an app to my other account

If you have 2 Base44 accounts, such as an old and a new email address, you can move apps between them yourself. Your first account needs to own the workspace the app is in.

To move an app to your other account:

1. Sign in to your other account and invite your first account’s email to its workspace as an editor.
2. Sign in to your first account and accept the invitation.
3. Move the app to your other account’s workspace.
4. Add your other account as a collaborator on the app and make it the app owner.

Transferring app ownership

Transfer ownership to hand an app to someone else, such as a teammate taking over or a client you built it for. The new owner takes over the app, and you can choose to stay on as a collaborator. How you transfer depends on who the new owner is.

• Someone in your workspace: Make them the app owner from your collaborators list. This works on every plan, and the app stays in your workspace.
• Someone outside your workspace: Send a transfer from your app’s settings. This needs an Enterprise plan (Business or Enterprise) or approved Base44 Partner status, and the app moves to the new owner’s workspace when they accept.

Making a collaborator owner

Make one of your app’s collaborators the owner when they work in the same workspace as you. The app stays in your workspace and keeps using its plan and credits. The new owner gets an email and accepts the transfer from there.

Before you begin:

• Only the current app owner can make someone else the owner.
• The new owner needs to be a collaborator on the app and have an editor role or higher in your workspace. Guests and viewers can’t own apps.

To make a collaborator the app owner:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click the Add collaborator icon at the top.
3. Click Invite collaborators.
4. Click the More actions icon next to the collaborator.
5. Click Make app owner.
6. Choose what happens to each integration and secret the app uses.
7. Turn Stay on as collaborator on to keep editor access, or off to lose access once they accept.
8. Select the checkbox to confirm.
9. Click Send transfer.

Transferring app ownership to another collaborator

Transferring from settings

Transfer ownership from your app’s settings to hand the app to anyone, inside or outside your workspace. A transfer to someone outside your workspace moves the app into a workspace they choose when they accept.

Before you begin:

• You need to be a workspace owner or admin.
• Your workspace needs an Enterprise plan (Business or Enterprise), unless you’re an approved member of the Partner Program. See Choosing a plan.
• To transfer to someone outside your workspace, the workspace’s App transfers setting needs to let you move apps out.

To transfer ownership from settings:

1. Go to your app’s dashboard.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Danger Zone to expand it.
4. Click Transfer Ownership.
5. Do one of the following:

Transfer to someone in your workspace

The new owner needs an editor role or higher in your workspace. The app stays in your workspace. If the app has no integrations or secrets, ownership changes right away. Otherwise, the new owner accepts the transfer from an email.

To transfer to someone in your workspace:

1. Click Someone in your workspace.
2. Select the new owner and click Continue.
3. Choose what happens to each integration and secret, and whether to stay on as a collaborator.
4. Click Transfer now.

Transfer to someone outside your workspace

The new owner gets an email with a link to accept, and needs a Base44 account with the same email address. Until they accept, the button in Danger Zone shows Transfer Pending. The invitation expires after 7 days.

To transfer to someone outside your workspace:

1. Click Someone outside your workspace.
2. Enter their email address in Recipient email and click Continue.
3. Choose what happens to each integration and secret, and whether to stay on as a collaborator.
4. Click Send transfer.

Accepting a transfer

When someone transfers an app to you, you get an email from Base44 with a link to accept it. The invitation expires after 7 days.

To accept an app transfer:

1. Open the link in the transfer email.
2. Sign in with the email address the transfer was sent to.
3. If you’re asked to choose a Destination workspace, select a workspace where you’re an owner or admin.
4. Click Accept Ownership.

What happens after a transfer:

• The app stays live on the same address, so there’s nothing to republish.
• If the app moved to the new owner’s workspace, it uses that workspace’s plan and credits. Otherwise it keeps using the same workspace’s credits.
• If the previous owner chose Stay on as collaborator, they keep editor access.
• A connected custom domain stays with the app as long as the new owner’s plan includes custom domains.
• Integrations the previous owner disconnected, and secrets marked as needing a new value, need to be set up again.

Solving transfer problems

If you’re having problems transferring an app, find your situation below.

I can't make a collaborator the app owner

Only the app owner sees Make app owner, and only next to collaborators who aren’t guests. If you aren’t the owner, ask them to transfer the app. If the person you want is a guest, change their workspace role to editor first.

If you see “Choose an existing workspace member” after you click Make app owner, they need an editor role or higher in your workspace first. Add them from Members and groups and send the transfer again.

I can't find the option to transfer ownership

Transfer Ownership only shows in Danger Zone for workspace owners and admins on an Enterprise plan (Business or Enterprise), and for approved Base44 Partners. On other plans, make a collaborator the owner instead, or follow the steps to hand an app to someone outside your workspace.

I want to hand an app to someone outside my workspace

Without an Enterprise plan or Partner status, you can still hand an app to someone outside your workspace in a few steps. You need to own the workspace the app is in now.

To hand an app to someone outside your workspace:

1. Ask the new owner to invite you to their workspace as an editor, then accept the invitation.
2. Move the app to their workspace.
3. Add the new owner as a collaborator on the app and make them the app owner.

I need to resend or cancel a transfer

For a transfer you sent with Make app owner, you can resend the email, copy the link, or cancel the transfer before the new owner accepts.

To manage a pending transfer:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click the Add collaborator icon at the top.
3. Click Invite collaborators.
4. Click the More actions icon next to the new owner.
5. Click Resend ownership request, Get ownership link, or Cancel ownership request.

I get an error when I accept a transfer

If the new owner sees “You can’t accept this transfer,” they aren’t an owner or admin of a workspace the app can move into. They can create a new workspace and open the link again.

If they see “We couldn’t find a transfer for this account,” they may be signed in with a different email address than the one the transfer was sent to. They can click Switch account and sign in with the right one. If that doesn’t help, the transfer expired or was canceled, so ask the sender to send it again.

Deleting an app

Remove an app from your workspace when you no longer need it. Deleted apps move to Recently deleted, where you can restore them for 30 days.

Deleting an app takes it offline immediately and releases the external resources connected to it. Restoring the app does not bring those back, so you set them up again afterwards. See What you get back for the full list. Clone the app first if you want to keep a separate copy.

Deleting your own app

You delete an app from its card on the Apps page. Only the app’s owner and your workspace owners and admins can delete it.

To delete an app:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Click the More actions icon on the app card.
3. Click Delete.
4. Type the app address shown in the dialog to confirm. This is the app’s slug, not its display name.
5. Click Delete.

Confirming an app deletion

Deleting an app you don’t own

Workspace owners and admins can delete any app in their workspace, even if they are not the app’s creator.

When you delete an app you don’t own, the delete dialog shows a warning with the app owner’s email address. The app owner automatically receives an in-app notification and email letting them know their app was deleted and by whom.

---

Restoring a deleted app

Recently deleted holds every app you deleted in the last 30 days, so you can bring one back yourself. Each app there shows who deleted it, when they deleted it, and how many days you have left to restore it.

After 30 days, a deleted app is permanently deleted and can’t be restored. Customer Care can’t recover it either.

Bringing an app back

Anyone who can delete an app can also restore it, so the app’s owner and your workspace owners and admins can all bring it back. You need to still be an active member of the workspace the app belongs to, even if you own the app. Workspace owners and admins see every app deleted from their workspace, including apps deleted by members who have since left. If your workspace is at its app limit, the restore fails until you make room, so delete another app or upgrade your plan first.

To restore a deleted app:

1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
2. Click the Recently deleted icon .
3. Find the app you want and click Restore.
4. Click Restore again to confirm.

Restoring an app from Recently deleted

What you get back

Restoring brings back your app’s data, pages, source files, chat history, and checkpoints, and rebuilds its backend functions.

Some parts are released when you delete the app, so you set these up again after you restore:

• Custom domains
• Integration and connector connections
• Automations and page redirects
• Workflows, archived until you turn them back on
• Google Ads campaigns, paused until you resume them
• Published templates, which you publish again to relist them
• Folder membership
• Files an in-app agent uploaded, which you upload again

A few other things happen once the restore finishes:

• Follow-up checklist: Base44 flags which of the released items need your attention.
• Ownership: If the app’s owner has left the workspace since the delete, the app transfers to the workspace owner.
• Launchpad: To relist your app, contact Customer Care.
• App address: If another app took your app’s address while it was in Recently deleted, your app comes back on a new address, which you can change in app settings.
