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 external users, and manage the full lifecycle of each app from renaming and cloning through to deletion.

​
Moving an app between workspaces

Move an app to another workspace to change which workspace owns and manages it. Your app’s data and settings move with it.
Before you begin:
  • App transfers must be enabled in the current workspace.
  • You must be the workspace owner to move an app out of the current workspace.
  • On the Enterprise plan, workspace admins can move apps out by default. Workspace owners can restrict this permission. See Getting started as an enterprise admin.
  • You must have an editor role or higher in the target workspace. If someone else owns the app, they must also have an editor role or higher there.
  • You cannot move purchased apps.
  • If the target workspace is on the Free plan, it must have fewer than 5 apps.
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 to confirm.

Moving an app to another workspace

The Move app option only appears if you belong to another workspace.

​
Transferring app ownership

Transfer app ownership when someone leaves the team or changes roles. The new owner takes over the app’s permissions and settings.
Selecting a new app owner from the collaborators panel

Transferring app ownership to another collaborator

Before you begin: The new owner must already be an app collaborator and a workspace member with an editor role or higher. Guests cannot own apps.
Important:
  • Only the current app owner can initiate a transfer from the collaborators panel.
  • Transferring ownership within your workspace has no plan requirement. The app stays in the same workspace.
To transfer app ownership:
  1. Open your app in the editor.
  2. Click the Invite collaborators icon at the top right.
  3. Find the collaborator you want to make the owner.
  4. Click the More Actions icon next to their name and click Make app owner.
  5. On the Pick the new owner step, confirm the new owner and continue.
  6. On the Hand [app name] to a new owner step, choose what happens to each connected service:
    • Keep: Keep the service connected to the app.
    • Disconnect: Disconnect the service before transferring the app.
  7. Choose whether to remain a collaborator using the Stay on as collaborator toggle:
    • Enabled: You remain a collaborator after the transfer.
    • Disabled: You lose access to the app after the transfer.
  8. Select the checkbox to confirm the transfer.
  9. Click Send transfer.
The new owner must accept the transfer before it takes effect. If you chose Stay on as collaborator, you keep editor access after they accept.
Transferring ownership to someone outside your workspace is available for Enterprise workspaces and approved Base44 Partners.To transfer an app to someone who is not in your workspace, use Transfer Ownership in your app’s Danger Zone.To transfer app ownership from the Danger Zone:
  1. Go to your app’s dashboard.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Scroll down to Danger Zone and click Transfer Ownership.
  4. Select Someone outside your workspace.
  5. Enter the new owner’s email address.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Choose whether to stay on as a collaborator.
  8. Click Send transfer.
The new owner receives an email and must accept the transfer within 7 days. Until they accept, Transfer Pending appears in Settings, where you can Resend the invitation or Cancel transfer. If you chose Stay on as collaborator, you keep editor access after they accept.
The app keeps its Base44 URL. If the transfer moves the app to another workspace, control of that URL passes to the new owner.

​
Deleting an app

Remove an app from your workspace when you no longer need it. Deleted apps move to Trash, where you can restore them for 30 days.
Deleting an app takes it offline immediately and releases its custom domains, connected integrations, and automations. Restoring the app does not bring these back, so you need to set them up again. Clone the app first if you want to keep a separate copy.
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 name shown in the dialog to confirm.
  5. Click Delete this app.
Deleting an app from the app card actions menu on the Apps page

Deleting an app from your Apps page

​
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

Trash holds every app you deleted in the last 30 days, so you can bring one back yourself. Each app in Trash shows who deleted it, when they deleted it, and how many days you have left to restore it. To restore a deleted app:
  1. Go to Apps in your Base44 workspace.
  2. Click Trash.
  3. Find the app you want and click Restore.
  4. Click Restore again to confirm.

​
What you get back

Restoring brings back your app’s data, pages, 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
Base44 flags which of these need attention once the restore finishes. To relist on Launchpad, contact support. If another app took your app’s address while it was in Trash, your app comes back on a new address, which you can change in app settings.
Files that an in-app agent uploaded are removed when you delete the app, and restoring does not bring them back. Upload them again after you restore.
After 30 days an app leaves Trash and you can no longer restore it yourself. Contact support to recover it. This also applies to apps you deleted before self-serve restore was available.

Choosing who can move apps out of the workspace.

Enabling app transfers in workspace settings

Anyone who can delete an app can restore it: the app’s owner, and workspace owners and admins. You must still be an active member of the app’s workspace. 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, restore fails until you make room. Delete another app or upgrade your plan, then try again.
