Runway App Studio: build your own video and image apps without code
Describe the tool you need, and Runway builds an app with an interface, your Brand Kits and your Workflows. It’s included in all paid plans.
On October 26, Runway launched App Studio. You describe the tool you need in plain language, and it builds an app with its own interface that generates images, video and audio using your Brand Kits and Workflows.
What’s new
App Studio writes, tests and deploys the app. You can refine it in plain language, preview changes before publishing and roll back to earlier versions. No API keys or separate infrastructure are needed.
The main idea for teams: the author locks in the prompt, model chain and settings, and teammates see only the inputs they need. Built-in apps at launch include Character Swap, 3D Camera Control and Precise Edit. You can convert an existing Agent session or Workflow into an app in one click.
How to try it
App Studio is included in all paid plans at no extra charge, but building, running and hosting draw on Runway credits. Free users can use built-in apps and apps shared with them.
Apps stay private until the author shares them. Paid plans can publish a public link: visitors sign in with a Runway account and spend their own credits.
Limitations
The announcement doesn’t state how many apps you can create or what hosting costs, so watch each app’s credit use before rolling it out widely across a team.
