AppSheet apps work great on both desktop and mobile devices, and are used for a variety of business use cases including project management, operations, field work, human resources, sales, and marketing.
AppSheet is a true no-code platform, which means anyone can build rich apps and automated processes without writing a line of code. The AppSheet Editor helps make creation easier by automatically generating app prototypes and providing smart suggestions for quick customizations. AppSheet also uses spreadsheet-like expressions to incorporate advanced logic to do things like filter data, create dynamic UI elements, and set up workflow automations.

In order to scale and share apps with larger teams, licenses and an AppSheet subscription is required - AppSheet Core licenses are automatically included in some versions of Workspace Enterprise. Contact Workspace sales for more information.
The term app was popularized in the early days of smartphones, after Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007 and then launched the App Store in 2008. At the time, the term applied primarily to mobile apps, which were lightweight and focused on a specific purpose or task, such as checking the weather, taking notes, performing calculations or reading the news.
Over the years, the term has grown in scope and is now often used to refer to applications running on any type of device. This trend has been reinforced by major vendors who now use the term routinely to reference software applications. For example, Apple refers to the Mac software available from its App Store as apps, and Microsoft refers to the Windows software available from its Microsoft Store as apps. Google Play offers Chromebook apps alongside apps for phones, tablets and other devices.
When the term app is used in a more general sense, the apps themselves are often categorized by their characteristics or how they're implemented. The following list describes the more common categories:
An organization will often develop multiple apps that serve a similar purpose, but can accommodate different platforms. For example, Google offers the Gmail app for mobile devices, but maintains a web app for other devices. Evernote, however, provides apps for mobile and desktop devices, as well as maintains a web app to provide users with more flexibility when accessing their data.

Private apps allow you to use HubSpot's APIs to access specific data from your HubSpot account. You can authorize what each private app can request or change in your account, which will generate an access token that's unique to your app.
Please note: private apps do not support custom timeline events. Webhooks are supported in private apps, but subscriptions cannot be edited programmatically via an API, and must instead be edited in your private app settings.
If you plan on building an app using custom timeline events, you should create a public app instead. Learn more about the differences between private and public apps.
To view information about a private app's access token, such as the Hub ID and scopes associated with the token, make a POST request to /oauth/v2/private-apps/get/access-token-info. In the request body, include your access token:
You can create up to 20 private apps in your HubSpot account. Each private app is subject to HubSpot's API usage guidelines. The number of calls your private app can make is based on your account subscription and whether you've purchased the API add-on:
