Overview

Once you've built an amazing app with Genesis, you can share it with others in different ways. Whether you want to publish it for everyone to use, let others clone your entire workflow, or simply share a template, we've got you covered.

What "Publish" Means

Once published, your app gets:

A live, shareable URL that works on any device
Real-time functionality for all users
Functional backend powered by your own Taskade workspace
Cloning functionality (if you enabled it)

💡 Note: Want to collaborate on your apps with other workspace members? Visit our guide on how to invite others to your app spaces.

Publish Your App

Publishing makes your app available to anyone with the link.

Enable publishing: Click Publish in the top-right corner.
Set visibility: Enable/disable app cloning (see the next section).
Publish: Once you've adjusted the settings, click Publish.

Congratulations! Your app is instantly available and others can interact with it. 🥳

What's next?

Copy the direct app link or share your app on social media.
Embed the app on your website or blog.
Share the app on your social media.

Unpublish Your App

You can always update your published app by making changes.

The same URL stays active, so your users never lose access.

To unpublish an app:

Go to the Publish menu again.
Click Unpublish app at the bottom of the pop-up.
The app will no longer be accessible to others.

App Visibility Settings

You have two main options for how people can access your app.

👁️ Public Apps

Anyone can discover and use your app
Your app may be featured in the community gallery
Perfect for apps you want to share widely
Can be submitted as templates for others to clone

🔒 Private Apps

Only accessible via the direct link you share
Won't appear in public galleries
Great for internal team tools or client-specific applications
You control exactly who gets access

Cloning Apps

Cloning is different from just using an app. When you clone an app, you create a complete copy of the app and all its connected parts in someone else's workspace.

💡 Note: Think of cloning as sharing the blueprint and building materials.

To enable the cloning feature for your app:

Click Publish (see the first section of this guide) → set App Visibility to Public.

Others can now open the URL and click "Clone App".
- They choose a name and workspace for their copy.
- Select a color to personalize the new app space.

Customization and Branding

When you publish your Genesis app, you can use customization and branding options to create a professional experience that matches your unique style. Customization makes your app professional and helps build brand recognition.

Click Publish in the top-right corner → publish your app.
Choose Branding from the drop-down list.
Customize the settings (scroll down for details).

Page Title

Set a descriptive title that appears in browser tabs and search results

Keep it concise and descriptive of your app's purpose

This also appears when users bookmark or share your app

💡 Note: Keep titles under 60 characters for optimal display in search results. Focus on your app's main function or benefit.

Description

Write a brief description explaining what your app does

This appears in search results and social media shares

Aim for 1-2 sentences that clearly communicate the value

Focus on the problem your app solves

💡 Note: Write descriptions between 120-160 characters for best SEO results. Think of it as your app's elevator pitch.

Site Name

Your company or organization name

This appears in various sharing contexts

Helps establish brand credibility and recognition

💡 Note: Use your official business name or brand name consistently across all platforms for better recognition.

Search Engine Visibility

Control how search engines discover and index your app. This determines whether your app appears in Google searches or stays private to invited users only.

Option	Description	Best For
Allow search engines to index this page	Makes your app discoverable through search engines	Public tools, marketing apps, community resources
Don't allow search engines to index this page	Keeps your app private from search engine results	Internal company apps, private workflows, sensitive data
Allow indexing but don't follow links	App appears in search but links within the app aren't crawled	Apps with external links you don't want to promote
Block search engines completely	Maximum privacy - no search engine access at all	Confidential apps, beta testing, restricted access tools

💡 Note: Not sure which option to choose? Enable indexing for public tools and disable for internal company apps or sensitive workflows.

Social Media Customization

Configure how your app appears when shared on social platforms. Well-optimized social previews increase click-through rates and build trust with potential users.

Format: @yourcompany (optional)

Creates a direct connection to your brand's social presence

Visual Customization

Align your app's appearance with your brand colors and design language. Visual consistency builds recognition and makes your app feel professional and trustworthy.

Custom Colors

Set default theme colors with your brand colors

Choose between Light and Dark theme options

Customize primary colors to match your brand identity

Maintains consistency with your other digital properties

💡 Note: Not sure which option to choose? Enable indexing for public tools and disable for internal company apps or sensitive workflows.

Security Considerations

Only publish apps that don't contain sensitive information.
Use private links for internal or confidential applications.
Remember that public apps can be discovered by anyone.
Template links share your entire workflow structure.
