FlutterFlow · You keep what you built
You made a real app in FlutterFlow. The builder preview opens. Friends can tap around. Now you want it on your side — your Code Download or GitHub copy, your store signing, your passwords and keys. That is what this page is about. We help you move what you built so the builder is no longer the only place it can ship.

Review methodologyIn plain words
Leaving FlutterFlow means this: you get your own copy via Code Download or GitHub, you build and sign somewhere that is not only the builder Deploy button, you move your passwords and your data with a plan, and you prove it still works before you tell everyone the new path. You are done when the app starts without opening the builder.
Where people get stuck
You do not always need every unfinished screen. You do need to know what still lives inside the builder panel — and how people will sign in after the move.
People sign in with Google, email links, or a password. That sign-in needs its own plan. Copying a user list is not the same as someone opening the new app and getting in.
Get the new build working first. Do not put secret passwords in the client-visible custom actions. Signing keys, sign-in links, and push must move together.
A real way back means the old data can take new work again without splitting into two messy copies. Freeze what the builder holds at switch time, and set a clock for how long you can go back.
Also try an old account, a brand-new signup, odd roles, empty screens, custom actions, and a cold build from Code Download.
The calm order
We do not flip store tracks just to look fast. We flip them after a short written check and a practiced way back.
01
Decide what Firebase or Supabase data and files own versus throwaway demo seed. Missing labels surprise you when real people hit the new build.
02
Sessions, Google or email sign-in, passwords, and “I agree” records each get a line. A user list alone is rarely enough.
03
Keep a sealed list of old and new secret names. Check package IDs and old automatic messages, then rotate secrets after the new path can take traffic.
04
Name sample accounts, permissions, media, deep links, and who can put builder Deploy back in charge.
How to
Move your records, secrets, and store path off builder Deploy. Success is a short “it still works” note plus a practiced way back.
Step 01
Keep, copy, or toss. Sign-in sessions, bindings, passwords, and consent each get a line.
Step 02
Keep old and new secret names in a sealed list. Secrets must not sit in client-visible custom actions. Plan sign-in allowlists and return links as one set.
Step 03
Old account, new signup, odd roles, empty screens, custom actions, and a cold clone.
Step 04
Compare what people see and side effects. Freeze the data shape at switch time.
Step 05
Watch the first group on the new path. Support knows builder-era problems. Time-box going back.

Before you book
Prefer writing? Send project details and we reply within one business day.
Take the thing you built — the Code Download or GitHub tree, a list of what it needs to run, and a note of how it starts. Leave builder caches, unfinished experiments, and one-off test screens behind. Save your data (or how to reach it) on its own so nothing invents that shape later.
Write down the bindings and settings the builder had ready for you. Lock that list so a clean clone gets the same setup. Replace “it worked because the builder already had it” with that real list. Put the start and build steps somewhere clear. The check should fail if the app only installs inside the builder.
Copy the names of your secrets from the builder panel into a template. Make fresh values on the new path — never put a builder secret into your owned code. Point the app at the new data store and run the moves on a clean machine. Update sign-in return links that still point at preview hosts before you change store tracks.
A normal CI host is missing tools the builder hid for you. Start paths assume builder folders. The one-click Deploy button is gone. Passwords arrive empty. Sign-in and live links still expect builder names. Fix install, how it builds, and secrets first — then move. Green inside the builder does not mean portable.
Bring your project list, how people sign in, and a few test accounts. We put store tracks last — and we name the builder path you can roll back to.
