Are you a nutritionist, wellness coach, or food content creator with tons of videos, meal plans, and healthy recipes โ but no mobile app to share it all?
What if you could turn your recipes, cooking tutorials, and nutrition tips into a sleek, professional mobile app... in just a few hours โ and without writing a single line of code?
In this blog post, weโll show you how we built a fully functional nutrition coaching app using Stitch by Google, Figma, Bravo Studio, and a few powerful integrations.
Letโs walk you through every step. ๐
๐ง Step 1: Design Your App with AI in Stitch by Google
We started with Stitch by Google, a free AI-powered app design tool.
We prompted Stitch to generate a clean, wellness-friendly Nutritionist & Healthy Recipes app design. Our layout included:
A welcome screen
A login page
A recipe video library
A featured section for top-rated or seasonal recipes
A coach profile and tips section
This gave us a solid, visually appealing starting point.
๐จ Step 2: Customize the UI in Figma
Once we had our Stitch design ready, we exported the screens to Figma.
Here we:
Adjusted colors, fonts, and layouts to reflect a clean, plant-based aesthetic
Organized the UI elements for better readability and usability
Added icons and images to create a more engaging food-focused experience
We also designed a custom app icon to give the app a unique, branded look.
๐๏ธ Step 3: Structure the App with Bravo Tags
With the Bravo Studio Figma plugin, we added Bravo Tags to key screens like the login page and video screens.
These tags tell Bravo Studio how to interpret your design for real-world app functionality โ like login, web views, navigation, and dynamic content.
We connected our screens using Figma prototyping to map out the user journey from login to content browsing.
๐ Step 4: Turn Your Figma Design Into a Real App in Bravo Studio
Time to bring the design to life.
We imported the Figma file into Bravo Studio, which instantly transformed it into a real mobile app for iOS and Android โ no code needed.
We used the Bravo Vision app to test and preview our new app in real-time.
๐ฅ Step 5: Add Video Content with a Custom Player
To share our healthy cooking tutorials, we embedded a custom video player into the app using Bravoโs Web View tag.
This player connects directly to your hosted videos (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny.net), allowing users to stream your content inside the app.
This is perfect for creators with existing video libraries.
๐ Step 6: Add User Authentication with Kinde + Xano
To control access to exclusive content, we integrated secure user login using:
Kinde for authentication
Bravoโs external OAuth snippet
Xano as our backend
Only registered or paying users can access premium recipes and videos.
๐งฉ Step 7: Backend with Xano โ No Code Required
We used Bravoโs Xano snippet to manage:
User accounts
Video sessions
Content access
This way, we didnโt have to write backend logic from scratch โ just connect, configure, and launch.
๐ธ Step 8: Monetize with RevenueCat (Optional)
Ready to turn your passion into a business?
We integrated RevenueCat to enable in-app purchases and subscriptions. This gives you full control over:
Subscription models
Free vs. premium content
Revenue tracking
You can also use Kinde Billing if youโre already set up with their platform.
๐ Youโre Done โ Launch & Grow Your Brand
Thatโs it! In just a few hours, we created a powerful mobile app for nutritionists and food creators โ with:
โ AI-powered UI design โ Real video content โ Secure login โ Monetization options โ Zero code
Whether youโre sharing meal plans, nutrition coaching, or food education, Bravo Studio gives you the tools to scale your impact with a mobile app.
