Vibe Apps Directory: The Complete Guide to No-Code AI App Categories

TL;DR -- The Taskade community now has 471 indexed Genesis apps (120+ verified) generating 67,671 pageviews per month. This directory organizes every category -- from calculators and booking systems to dashboards and CRMs -- with real traffic data, working examples you can clone in one click, and step-by-step guides to build your own.

The vibe coding market is moving fast. Replit raised at a $9B valuation. Lovable hit $6.6B. Bolt reached $700M. Wix acquired Base44 for $80M. But valuation is not the same as value. Most of these tools generate static code files that still require hosting, database setup, and manual deployment. Taskade Genesis is the only platform in this space where you describe an app in plain language and get a complete living system -- database, AI agents, automations, and hosting -- deployed in minutes.

What Is Vibe Coding?

The term "vibe coding" traces back to a February 2025 post by Andrej Karpathy, the former head of AI at Tesla and co-founder of OpenAI. Karpathy described a new way of programming where you "give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists." Instead of debugging syntax or wrestling with frameworks, you focus on the outcome -- what the software should do, not how it should be built.

Collins Dictionary named "vibe coding" its Word of the Year for 2025. By early 2026, 25% of Y Combinator startups reported building 95% of their codebases using AI-generated code. Global spending on AI coding tools reached $15 billion annually.

The core insight behind vibe coding is that describing intent is faster than writing implementation. A product manager who can articulate "I need a booking system with calendar availability, intake forms, and confirmation emails" should not need to learn React, set up a PostgreSQL database, or configure a deployment pipeline. The gap between knowing what you need and having it built has historically been filled by engineering teams, freelancers, or months of self-taught coding. Vibe coding collapses that gap to minutes.

How vibe coding differs from traditional no-code. Drag-and-drop builders like Bubble and Retool give you pre-built components that you wire together manually. The ceiling is low and the learning curve is steep -- you are still configuring, not creating. Vibe coding replaces configuration with conversation. You describe the outcome, and the AI generates the entire application.

How vibe coding differs from traditional coding. A developer building a CRM writes database schemas, API routes, frontend components, authentication logic, and deployment scripts. A vibe coder describes "a CRM with a pipeline board, lead scoring, and automated follow-ups" and gets the working system. The developer's version takes days to weeks. The vibe-coded version takes minutes.

Why it matters for non-technical builders. The barrier to creating functional software has dropped from "years of computer science education" to "the ability to describe what you need in clear language." Product managers can prototype without filing tickets. Founders can validate ideas without hiring engineers. Operations teams can build internal tools without waiting in a sprint queue. Educators can create interactive platforms without a development budget.

Not every tool that claims to support vibe coding delivers the same result. Code generators like Bolt.new, Lovable, and V0 output React files you still need to host and maintain. Taskade Genesis goes further -- it produces complete deployed applications with databases, AI agents, and automations built in. That distinction is the central theme of this directory.

The Genesis App Ecosystem

Since launching in October 2025, Taskade Genesis has grown from zero to 130,000+ apps built, with 3 million+ automations running across the platform. The community gallery now indexes 471 apps, of which 120+ are verified and publicly cloneable.

Here is how traffic distributes across the top categories (30-day snapshot):

Category                 PV/30d     Apps    PV/App

-----------------------------------------------
TOTAL                    67,671     471     144

The growth trajectory tells a clear story. Calculator and converter apps punch far above their weight -- 1,088 PV per app, which is 8.6x the dashboard average. This happens because calculators solve a single, specific problem that people search for directly. Finance tools and booking systems also over-index relative to their app count. Meanwhile, dashboards dominate total volume because there are simply more of them.

This distribution matches what we see in the broader SaaS market: utility tools attract search traffic, while business systems attract repeat usage. The most successful Genesis builders combine both -- a high-traffic calculator that funnels users into a deeper dashboard or booking workflow.

Category Directory

1. Calculators and Converters

Traffic: 5,440 PV/month | 5 apps | 1,088 PV/app

Calculators are the highest-traffic-per-app category in the entire Genesis ecosystem, and for good reason. When someone searches "mortgage calculator" or "BMI calculator," they want an instant answer, not a sign-up form. Genesis calculators deliver that experience -- a clean, focused tool that loads instantly and does one thing well.

What makes Genesis calculators different from the thousands of static calculators on the web is the Workspace DNA layer underneath. A mortgage calculator built with Genesis does not just compute a number. It can save the result to a project, trigger an automation that sends the estimate to a loan officer, or connect to an AI agent that explains the terms.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Real estate agents embedding a mortgage calculator on their website that saves leads to a CRM project
• Fitness coaches sharing a macro calculator that feeds into a client nutrition tracking dashboard
• E-commerce stores adding a shipping cost estimator that triggers fulfillment workflows
• Freelancers building a project cost estimator that auto-generates quotes

2. Booking and Scheduling

Traffic: 2,330 PV/month | 10 apps | 233 PV/app

Every service business runs on appointments. The standard approach is to pay $15-30/month for a tool like Calendly or Acuity, configure availability windows, and manage a separate system outside your workspace. Genesis booking apps eliminate that overhead by building the scheduling system directly into your workspace, where it connects to your projects, agents, and automations natively.

A Genesis booking system is not just a calendar widget. It is a complete intake flow: the client selects a time, fills out a form, receives a confirmation email, and the appointment automatically appears in your project tracker. An AI agent can pre-screen the booking, qualify the lead, and prepare a briefing document before the meeting starts.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Consultants sharing a booking link where clients select a slot and fill out a pre-call questionnaire
• Coworking spaces managing room reservations with capacity tracking and automatic confirmation
• Clinics scheduling patient appointments with intake forms and automated reminders
• Tutors offering class bookings where students select subjects and preferred times

3. Events and Hospitality

Traffic: 3,500 PV/month | 15 apps | 233 PV/app

Event management is a coordination problem. Guest lists, RSVPs, venue logistics, speaker schedules, vendor contacts, and post-event follow-ups all need to connect. Most teams manage this with a tangle of spreadsheets, email threads, and sticky notes. Genesis event apps replace that tangle with a single system where every piece of data is connected and every workflow is automated.

The AI agent layer is particularly powerful here. An event assistant trained on your agenda, venue details, and FAQ can answer attendee questions 24/7 -- "What time does the keynote start?" or "Is there parking nearby?" -- without anyone on your team lifting a finger.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Conference organizers managing speaker schedules, attendee RSVPs, and sponsor logistics in one system
• Wedding planners sharing a guest-facing portal with RSVP, dietary preferences, and travel details
• Community event hosts tracking registrations, sending reminders, and collecting post-event feedback
• Hotels managing room blocks, catering orders, and event timelines for corporate retreats

4. Finance and Accounting

Traffic: 4,760 PV/month | 20 apps | 238 PV/app

Finance apps are the second-highest PV/app category after calculators. The reason is the same: people search for specific tools ("expense tracker," "invoice generator," "budget planner") and want an immediate solution. Genesis finance apps deliver that, plus the intelligence layer -- an AI agent that can categorize expenses, flag anomalies, or summarize monthly spend.

The automation capabilities are what make Genesis finance tools viable as real business systems, not just toys. When an expense is submitted, an automation can route it for approval, log it in Google Sheets, update a budget tracker, and notify the finance team on Slack. That end-to-end flow typically requires Zapier ($20/month), a spreadsheet, and a form builder. Genesis does it all in one system.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Freelancers generating branded invoices and tracking payment status with automated reminders
• Small businesses managing expenses with receipt upload, category tagging, and monthly AI-generated reports
• Startups tracking burn rate and runway with real-time dashboards connected to financial data
• Accounting firms building client-facing portals where clients upload documents and track tax preparation status

5. Education and Learning

Traffic: 2,220 PV/month | 20 apps | 111 PV/app

Education is where the AI agent layer shines brightest. A course platform is useful on its own, but a course platform with an AI tutor trained on the curriculum material is transformational. Students get instant help at any hour. Instructors spend less time answering repetitive questions. The system learns which topics students struggle with and can recommend additional resources automatically.

Genesis education apps range from simple flashcard systems to full course platforms with progress tracking, quizzes, and completion certificates. The key advantage over purpose-built LMS platforms (which cost $50-500/month) is that Genesis includes the AI tutoring and automation layers at no additional cost.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Educators building course platforms with embedded AI tutors that answer student questions based on curriculum material
• Corporate trainers creating onboarding programs with progress tracking and completion automation
• Language teachers sharing flashcard apps with spaced repetition and AI-powered conversation practice
• Certification providers building exam prep tools with adaptive question selection

6. Dashboards and Analytics

Traffic: 19,100 PV/month | 151 apps | 126 PV/app

Dashboards are the largest category by total traffic. They account for 28.2% of all Genesis pageviews. The reason is volume: nearly every business needs some kind of metrics display, and Genesis makes it trivial to build one.

A Genesis dashboard is not a static chart. It pulls data from your workspace projects, which means it updates in real time as your team works. An AI agent can monitor the data and alert you when metrics cross thresholds -- "Revenue dropped 15% this week" or "Support ticket volume doubled since yesterday." Automations can respond to those alerts automatically, posting to Slack, sending an email, or creating a task for someone to investigate.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Founders tracking MRR, churn, and active users in a single view connected to their workspace data
• Sales managers monitoring pipeline value, conversion rates, and rep performance
• Support leads tracking ticket volume, resolution time, and customer satisfaction scores
• Marketing teams visualizing campaign performance across channels with AI-generated weekly summaries

7. Websites and Landing Pages

Traffic: 4,120 PV/month | 27 apps | 153 PV/app

Genesis is not a website builder in the traditional sense. You will not get the pixel-level control of Webflow or the template library of Squarespace. What Genesis does well is build functional web pages with integrated workflows -- a landing page with a lead capture form that automatically scores leads, sends follow-up emails, and routes qualified prospects to your CRM. The page and the system behind it are one thing, not separate tools stitched together.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Startups building a landing page with email capture that feeds directly into a nurture automation
• Freelancers publishing portfolio sites with integrated contact forms and booking
• Restaurants sharing online menus with ordering capabilities connected to kitchen workflows
• Event organizers creating registration pages with RSVP tracking and attendee communication

8. Tools and Utilities

Traffic: 7,500 PV/month | 82 apps | 91 PV/app

This is the most diverse category. Tools and utilities include QR code generators, URL shorteners, color palette creators, countdown timers, password generators, and dozens of other single-purpose apps. They tend to attract search traffic for specific queries and work well as entry points to the Genesis ecosystem.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Marketers generating QR codes that link to Genesis landing pages with tracking
• Teams using Pomodoro timers integrated with task completion workflows
• Designers sharing color palette tools with export to brand guidelines
• Developers building internal utility apps like JSON formatters and API testers

9. Wellness and Creative

Traffic: 3,100 PV/month | 22 apps | 141 PV/app

Wellness and creative apps show the range of what Genesis can build beyond business tools. Meditation loggers, mood trackers, recipe books, music playlist managers, habit trackers, and journaling apps all appear in this category. The AI agent layer adds real value here -- a wellness agent can track patterns across journal entries and suggest insights, or a recipe agent can recommend meals based on dietary preferences and available ingredients.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Health coaches sharing habit trackers with clients that log progress and trigger weekly check-in automations
• Food bloggers building recipe collections with AI-powered ingredient substitution suggestions
• Therapists providing mood journals where an AI agent identifies patterns and suggests coping strategies

10. Forms and Surveys

Traffic: 2,800 PV/month | 18 apps | 156 PV/app

Forms are the front door of most business workflows. Every lead capture, customer feedback loop, job application, and intake process starts with a form. The difference between a Genesis form and a Typeform or Google Form is what happens after submission. In Genesis, the form data flows directly into a project database, triggers automations, and can be processed by an AI agent -- all without a single external integration.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Agencies collecting client requirements through intake forms that automatically create project boards
• HR teams managing job applications with AI-powered resume screening and automated interview scheduling
• Restaurants gathering customer feedback with sentiment analysis and automated response workflows
• Nonprofits building donation forms connected to thank-you email automations and donor tracking

11. CRM and Sales

Traffic: 6,400 PV/month | 35 apps | 183 PV/app

CRM is one of the most requested Genesis app categories, and it illustrates why the Workspace DNA architecture matters. A CRM is not a single feature -- it is a system of connected parts: contact database, pipeline board, activity log, email automation, lead scoring, and reporting. Building that with a code generator means setting up multiple services and wiring them together. Building it with Genesis means describing the system in one prompt and getting all the parts connected automatically.

The AI agent layer is what pushes a Genesis CRM beyond what traditional CRMs offer. You can train a Sales Coach agent on your product catalog, pricing tiers, and past deals. The agent then helps reps draft proposals, qualify leads, and identify upsell opportunities -- all within the same interface where they track their pipeline.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Startups replacing HubSpot with a Genesis CRM that includes AI-powered lead scoring at a fraction of the cost
• Real estate agents tracking properties, buyers, and deals with automated follow-ups and document generation
• Agencies managing client relationships with intake forms, project tracking, and automated reporting
• Sales teams building pipeline dashboards with AI agents that draft outreach emails based on prospect data

12. Health and Fitness

Traffic: 2,100 PV/month | 15 apps | 140 PV/app

Health and fitness apps are growing fast in the Genesis ecosystem. Personal trainers, nutritionists, and wellness coaches are building client-facing tools that replace expensive specialized software. A trainer who previously paid $50-100/month for a client management platform can now build a custom version in Genesis that includes workout tracking, nutrition logging, progress photos, and an AI coaching agent -- all for $8/month.

Top apps:

Use cases:

• Personal trainers sharing workout programs with clients who log sets, reps, and progress in the app
• Nutritionists providing meal plans with AI-powered ingredient substitution and macro tracking
• Gym owners building member portals with class scheduling, attendance tracking, and automated renewal reminders
• Wellness coaches creating holistic health trackers that combine fitness, nutrition, sleep, and mood data

Traffic Data by Category

Here is the complete traffic breakdown sorted by PV per app (the metric that matters most for discoverability):

The highest-leverage strategy for builders is to target high PV/app categories: calculators, finance tools, and booking systems. These categories have proven search demand and relatively few competing apps, meaning each new app captures significant traffic. Dashboard builders benefit from volume but face more competition for attention within the category.

Another pattern: apps that solve a narrow, searchable problem (like "tip calculator" or "invoice generator") tend to outperform broad tools (like "business dashboard") on a per-app basis. The lesson is to build specific tools, not generic platforms.

How Every Genesis App Works: Workspace DNA

Every Genesis app is powered by the same three-layer architecture called Workspace DNA: Memory, Intelligence, and Execution. This architecture is what separates Genesis from code generators that produce isolated files.

          [Feedback Loop: Execution writes to Memory,
           Memory feeds Intelligence,
           Intelligence triggers Execution]

How the layers work together -- a concrete example.

Imagine you build a "Client Intake Portal" with Genesis. Here is what happens when a new client submits the intake form:

1. Memory: The form submission creates a new record in the Clients project with fields for name, company, email, budget, and goals. The data is immediately available in all 8 views -- List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart, and Timeline.

2. Intelligence: An AI agent (trained on your service catalog and past client data) reads the new record, scores the lead based on budget and fit, and drafts a personalized welcome message. The agent uses one of 11+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google -- whichever you configured for this task.

3. Execution: An automation fires on the "new record" trigger. It sends the welcome email via Gmail, posts a notification to your #sales Slack channel, creates a project from your onboarding template, assigns tasks to the right team members, and schedules a kickoff meeting in Google Calendar.

4. Feedback loop: The newly created onboarding project enriches the Memory layer. The AI agent now has more context about this client. The next time someone asks the agent "What is the status of the Acme Corp onboarding?" it knows, because it reads from the same workspace where the data lives.

This loop is continuous and self-reinforcing. The more you use the system, the smarter it gets. That is what makes Genesis apps "living" -- they are not static exports that decay the moment you stop maintaining them.

The Economics of Building vs Buying

One of the most overlooked advantages of Genesis is the financial case. Most growing businesses accumulate a stack of SaaS subscriptions without realizing the compounding cost.

The SaaS stack tax. Consider a typical small business running five separate tools:

That is $1,260 per year for a basic stack, and it does not include the time cost of managing five separate logins, five billing cycles, and the Zapier glue that holds it all together. Scaling to a team of 10 often triples the cost because most of these tools charge per seat.

The Genesis alternative. With Taskade Genesis, you can build all five of those tools in a single workspace:

That is a 13x cost reduction on the tools alone. The deeper savings come from eliminating the integration tax -- the hours spent configuring Zapier webhooks, mapping fields between systems, and debugging broken connections. In Genesis, every app shares the same workspace, the same data layer, and the same automation engine. There is nothing to integrate because everything is already connected.

Compared to competitors in the vibe coding space, Genesis is 7-11x cheaper. Bolt.new charges $20/month for token-limited code generation. Replit charges $25/month. Lovable charges $25/month. None of them include hosting, databases, AI agents, or automations -- those are all additional costs. Genesis Pro at $8/month includes everything.

This is not an argument that Genesis replaces every SaaS tool. Specialized systems like Salesforce Enterprise or Shopify Plus serve needs that no general-purpose builder can match. But for the 80% of business tools that are some combination of forms, databases, dashboards, and workflows, Genesis delivers 90% of the functionality at 10% of the cost.

Build Your First App

Building a Genesis app takes less time than reading this section. Here is the process, start to finish.

Step 1: Open Genesis. Go to taskade.com/ai/apps and click "Build App."

Step 2: Describe what you need. Be specific about the purpose, the users, and the data. Here is a prompt you can copy and use right now:

Build an expense tracker for my small business team.

Features:

Submission form with fields: description, amount, category
(Travel, Meals, Office, Software, Other), date, and receipt image upload
Kanban board for managers to approve or reject expenses
Monthly summary dashboard with totals by category and by employee
AI agent that categorizes ambiguous expenses and flags duplicates

Automations:

When an expense is approved, log it in Google Sheets
On the first of each month, generate a summary report and email it
to the finance team
If an expense exceeds $500, require additional manager approval

Design: Clean and professional, light theme, blue accents.

Step 3: Watch it build. Genesis generates the complete app in 2-10 minutes depending on complexity. You will see the UI, database schema, agent configuration, and automation flows come together.

Step 4: Test and iterate. Add sample data, test the form submission, check the dashboard. Then refine: "Make the dashboard show a pie chart for category breakdown" or "Add a notification to Slack when expenses exceed $500."

Step 5: Publish. Click Publish, choose your visibility, and share the URL with your team. The app is live immediately.

Total time: 10-15 minutes from zero to a deployed expense tracking system with AI categorization, approval workflows, and automated reporting. Building the equivalent with traditional tools would take days and cost hundreds in SaaS subscriptions.
