The Dashboard

Configure, build, update, and manage your entire app from your browser. No code required — but it’s all there if you want it.

The setup dashboard is a local tool that runs on your machine. One command — npm run dashboard — and it opens in your browser. From there you can set up your app, swap out branding, trigger builds, push updates to your users, install modules, manage your license, and check that everything’s working. All without touching a config file.

If you’re technical, you can still edit everything manually — the dashboard reads and writes the same config files you’d edit by hand. But for most people, you’ll never need to open a code editor. The dashboard handles it.

What’s inside

The dashboard has seven tabs. Here’s what each one does.

Config

Everything that defines your app — name, slug, version, bundle IDs, the WordPress site it talks to. Set it once and the dashboard syncs the values across every config file Expo and EAS need, with locked fields so you can’t accidentally overwrite something a build depends on.

This is also where you connect your Apple and Google accounts for store submissions, drop in your Firebase config files for push notifications, and link your EAS project so builds know where to land. The dashboard walks you through each step, validates as you go, and warns you the moment something’s missing or mismatched.

Assets

Your app icon, splash screen, and login branding — all in one place. Click any asset to replace it with your own, or pick a solid color for adaptive Android backgrounds. Thumbnails update instantly so you can see exactly what your app will look like before you build.

A branding colors panel handles your splash backgrounds (light and dark) and notification accent in three clicks. Validation badges flag missing assets and call out anything off-spec, so you don’t ship a build that breaks on launch because the icon was the wrong size.

Launcher Menu

Build the navigation your members see — drag, drop, done. Add unlimited custom buttons with your own labels, icons, and links. Pick from 100+ built-in icons, point each item at a webview, an external URL, or an internal app route, and choose whether it shows in the launcher grid, the tab bar, or both.

Reorder by grabbing the handle, hide items without deleting them, and color each icon to match your brand. Overflow warnings catch you before you cram too many tabs into the bottom bar on small phones.

Builds

Bumping versions, kicking off builds, downloading binaries, submitting to the stores — all from one tab. Pick a platform, pick a profile (dev, preview, production), and hit build. Save your favorite combinations as presets and run iOS and Android production builds in a single click.

Every build shows up in a live feed with status, duration, and a download button when it’s ready. Production builds get a one-click submit straight to App Store Connect or Google Play. Pre-build warnings catch missing credentials before EAS does, so you don’t wait twenty minutes to learn you forgot to upload your .p8 key.

OTA Updates

Push fixes to your users without a new build, without app store review, without anyone having to download anything. Type your release notes, pick a channel and platform, hit publish — and the next time someone opens the app, it grabs the new bundle silently in the background.

The history view lists every update you’ve ever shipped, with one-click republish to roll back to any previous version. A clear info card spells out exactly what OTA can and can’t do, so you don’t accidentally try to ship a native change over the air.

Updates

Activate your license, check for new core releases, and update the app with a click. The dashboard downloads the new core, preserves all your custom settings and branding, runs the install for you, and shows a step-by-step progress tracker so you always know what’s happening.

This is also where your add-on modules live. Each module gets its own card with version, description, license status, and an Activate/Deactivate toggle. Update modules, upload manual zips, export them, or remove them entirely — all without leaving the dashboard.

Snapshot

Your entire app identity in a single zip file. Every config value, every uploaded asset, every credential, every module, every license, every line of your custom notes — exported in one click and importable on any fresh install.

Use it to clone your setup to another machine, hand it off to a developer, or back it up before a major change. The preview pane shows you exactly what’s going in before you export — config values, color swatches, dependencies, license status, the works — so there are no surprises on the other side.
