Today we're announcing Glide 2.0. Nearly every aspect of Glide has been updated and refined, with delightful new capabilities for apps, powerful new features for our app builder, collaboration features for teams, and new templates designed for work.
Hola, PH! 👋 I'm David, CEO & co-founder of Glide.
I'm so happy to share Glide 2.0 with you today. This is the result of a year of feedback from our awesome community, lessons from thousands of customers, and the joyful work of the entire Glide team.
(If you're new to Glide: Glide creates web apps from Google Sheets, without code. The apps are optimized for phones & tablets and can be shared with a link. Users have created apps for everything from neighborhood composting clubs, to last-mile delivery of international freight.)
Headline Features of Glide 2.0:
📐 Redesigned App Builder—we completely redesigned our app builder so you can build apps for larger screens and more easily work with data.
🖥 Tablet Layout—apps now feel more natural on more devices. This large-screen layout works on laptops, desktops, and the web.
👯♀️ Teams—create a team and add unlimited collaborators, for free.
🤖 Action Editor allows you to build multi-step action sequences with logic-based branching.
🧮 Glide Tables, our first data source beyond Google Sheets, is faster and more scalable than Google Sheets. You can still build apps using Google Sheets, but now they're optional.
⚡️ 10x Faster Data Editor—our built-in spreadsheet editor is much faster and fully open-source.
🧑💼 Try Apps for Work—we worked with our business customers to build apps specifically for their needs, and made those apps free for anyone to copy. Copying one starts a 14-day trial of Glide's business tier, no credit card required.
There are many other improvements to apps, team collaboration, and templates. Visit glideapps.com/2.0 for the full list.
We hope you enjoy Glide 2.0, and build an amazing app for work, for good, or just for fun 😉
Thank you!
David & The Glide Team
PS: Our focus for the next year is to enable more data sources like Excel and Airtable, and to significantly improve our web & desktop layouts. Please share your feedback on our community forum and stay tuned!
@eugenehp Thanks a lot! And simpler than both of those, we hope ;)

@dvdsgl congrats on the launch. You’ve got a nice list of features but what are the benefits of using Glide? Do you have a page I can look at with case studies to figure out how I can apply this to my business?
I've been a fan of Glide for a long while now and with each iteration, it seems to be getting 10x more powerful, easy to use and fun to build with. Excited to bring forth and share the redesigned Glide 2.0 with the PH audience :) Impressed by the set of features this new release unlocks which include major enhancements to the app builder, team collaboration (magic links etc), and tons of new templates for business use-cases.
@thisiskp_ Thank you for your support! It was a blast working on ODNC1 together.

Fantastic product - and great update. I started with Glide 1.0 after it first came out and it was great... but had some drawbacks as an enterprise app platform. Many of these issues (security, etc) were fixed during 2020, so that encouraged me to get back into Glide start of 2021 building a networking app with a swipe feature (cool!). As I got more into it, I decided to use Glide for my next project - covessa.de - a telemedicine app for remote covid testing with video chat. First it was just the prototype, then the MVP, and now the front end and part of the back-end for the live system. Over the past months the Glide team has done exceptional work on making the platform extremely powerful to develop not just easy apps, but sophisticated workflow apps. Mine, for example, is actually at least 3 apps for now that all talk to one another (not quite in real time, but I have hopes for future things :). The learning curve to get into Glide is very quick - my youngest son earned his Airpods (instead of just watching YouTube vids) by spending 4.5 hours to learn Glide, learn Google Sheets, throw in some IMPORTXML, and make an app for his favorite YouTube channels (for kids). Not bad for a 14 year old - and a great platform for all to explore. Thanks to @Dvdsgl and the Glide team! Also the Glide Community is amazingly helpful - my go-to place to figure things out, learn new tricks, and help me continue to push the boundaries of the tech. Thanks!
Do we really need to say something about the most amazing No-Code tools of the century ?
Thanks for all your work and what you are doing with Glide ;)
You are the best team ever
Super big fan of Glide and the ease at which they help in launching an MVP is mind-blowing 🤯 They've enable a new era of makers!
Congrats on the launch, Glide team! I'll be backing this amazing team till the end of earth! 💜
