Share an app

Every app has one link: app.maypop.ai/app/<id>. Sharing decides what happens when someone opens it. Press Share on the app (or in Studio) to open the share sheet. Changes apply immediately — there’s no save button, just Done.

Invite people and groups

Type into Add people by email, username or group:

• A username finds that person.
• An email address invites them, even if they’ve never used Maypop: “We’ll email them a link — they don’t need an account yet.” If the address already has an account, it’s shared with them right away.
• A group shares the app into that group’s shelf for all its members. See Apps in groups.

When the box is empty, it suggests people you’ve shared with before and your groups. Each person or group gets a role; the default is Can use.

Who has access

Who has access lists the owner, then people, then pending invitations (marked Invited), then groups with their member counts. Use the role menu on a row to change it, or Remove access / Cancel invitation / Remove group access. Removing shows an Undo.

General access: what the link does

General access	Who can open it	On Explore
Only people you add	People and groups on the list	No
Anyone with the link can ask for access	Others see the app’s page and a Request access button	No
Anyone with the link can view	Anyone, read-only	Yes
Anyone with the link can use	Anyone; signed-in people can also add and change things	Yes

A few things to know:

• Viewing needs no account. Anyone can open a viewable app and try it. Anonymous visitors are always read-only; an app can offer them Sign in to save.
• Opening by link never gives more than use. Editing and managing always come from being on the list.
• Narrowing takes effect at once. People who reached the app through the link lose that access straight away; people on the list keep theirs.
• Apps open to anyone with the link are listed on Explore and can appear in search engines. To keep a link-only app out of listings, use Anyone with the link can ask for access.

Access requests

With Anyone with the link can ask for access, visitors see “keeps this app closed. Ask for access and they can let you in.” and a Request access button. Requests appear at the top of your share sheet — “1 person is asking for access” — with Approve and Decline. Someone declined can ask again the next day.

Copy the link

Copy link in the share sheet’s footer copies the app’s address. People without sharing rights see a Share this app block with the link instead, when the app isn’t private.

Share a specific screen

Apps can share a link to one screen — a poll, a game room, a list — with their own share buttons. Whoever opens it lands on that screen, with the access the app’s settings give them. Developers: see Deep links and sharing.

Who can change sharing

• The owner can do everything here.
• People with Can manage can invite and remove people, change their roles and answer requests, but can’t change General access, groups or remixing.
• Everyone else can copy the link when the app isn’t private, and remix it when that’s allowed.
