Publish and Clone Your Apps

Overview

Publishing turns the app you built with Taskade Genesis into a real, live website your customers and team can use. Click Publish once and your app gets a shareable web address that works on any device, a secure connection, optional password protection, an optional branded domain like yourcompany.com, and a built-in dashboard that shows you who is using it. A solo realtor can publish an inbound CRM site for new leads. A field-service business can publish a customer portal where clients log in to see their jobs and invoices.

TL;DR: Click Publish to take your app live. You get a shareable web address that works on any device, a secure connection, optional password protection, an optional branded domain, a usage dashboard, and free hosting (your visitors never use your AI credits). Publish to just your team, the whole world, or the Community Gallery. Publish your app →

What "Publish" Means

Once published, your app gets:

• A live, shareable web address that works on any device
• Updates that everyone sees instantly, with no refresh needed
• A working app powered by your own Taskade workspace, so the data lives where your team already works
• The option to let others copy your app into their own workspace (if you turn this on)

An app's lifecycle is reversible — Published is a state you can edit, re-publish, or unpublish at any time. Custom domain, embedding, and forking are all layers on top of a single live URL.

Share Your App

Sharing makes your app available to anyone with the link.

• Open Publish: Click the Publish button in the top-right.

• Set visibility: Choose Private, Secret (link only), or Public.

The Publish panel: pick a visibility, protect with a password, manage your domain, and ship to the Community Gallery — all from one dropdown:

• Share a link, embed the app, or publish to community (scroll down for details).

App Visibility Settings

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

Public

• Discoverable by anyone; eligible for community gallery; can be cloned if enabled.

• Ideal for: Broad distribution, SEO, and community growth.

• Public tools and calculators

• Community templates and examples

• Marketing/education apps and docs

• Portfolio or showcase apps

Secret

• General: Hidden from search and galleries; accessible only via a private link.

• Ideal for: Controlled sharing without public discovery.

• Early previews you share by invitation only

• Client reviews and approvals

• Press or partner demos

• Sales walkthroughs you send to one prospect at a time

Private

• General: Kept inside your workspace; not accessible externally.

• Ideal for: Internal building, testing, and sensitive workflows.

• Drafts you are still building and changing

• A test copy you check before sharing the real one

• Internal team tools

• Apps that hold confidential data

Password Protection

Add an extra layer of protection to your apps.

• Click Publish → toggle Require Password.

• Set a password and share it with your audience.

• Click Update Password to save the changes.

Change or remove it anytime ( Publish panel or Settings → Security).

💡 Note: A single shared password is great for a quick gate, like a mental-health clinic sending one link to its clients. If you want each person to have their own private login instead, turn on App Users so clients and teammates sign in with their own account, or add single sign-on so they log in with the account they already use.

Publish to Community

Share your app in the Taskade gallery for discovery and remixing.

• Set App Visibility to Public.

• Click Publish to Community.

• Submit for Review → Wait for team approval.

Unpublish Your App

You can always update your published app by making changes.

• Go to the Publish menu again.
• Under App Visibility(see the next section) choose Private.
• The app will no longer be accessible to others.

• If you published the app to community:
• Click the gear icon ⚙️ in the Publish drop-down.

• Choose Unpublish app from the list.

Clone and Remix

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.

1. Open the link to a shared Taskade Genesis app.
2. Do you like what you see? Click Edit in Taskade.
3. Click Clone in the top-right corner.
4. Choose the Workspace where you want to add the app.

👉 After cloning:

• Customize the app with your branding and content

• Connect it to your Projects, Agents, and Automations

• Modify features to fit your specific needs

• Publish when ready

Advanced Sharing Options

Use full app settings for deeper control over publishing, branding, SEO, and domains.

Remove a Watermark

Control whether the “Powered by Taskade” footer appears (plan dependent).

Manage Domains

Align your app with your brand and use a domain that users will recognize.

Manage Branding

Customize how your app looks, how it shows up in Google search, and how its link previews on social media.

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.

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

Social Media Customization

Control how your app looks when someone shares its link, so more people click through.

• Add your Twitter/X handle (format @yourcompany).
• Review the preview cards that show on Facebook and Twitter/X.
• Adjust the title and description to make people want to click.
• Share a test post to confirm how it looks.

Visual Customization

Align your app's appearance with your brand colors and design language.

Custom Colors

• Enable Use Custom Colors in Branding.
• Set Light/Dark palettes and primary accents.
• Ensure color contrast for accessibility.

Your app's favicon appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens.

• Go to App Settings → General tab
• Under Icon, choose an emoji or upload a custom icon.

• Preview your favicon in a browser tab.

💡 Note: We recommend 32×32 or 64×64 PNG images.

Open Graph Image

When your app is shared on social media, Slack, or Discord, Taskade automatically generates a screenshot of your app to use as the preview image.

App Analytics

Every Taskade Genesis app includes a powerful analytics dashboard.

Note: Visit App Analytics to learn more.

• Open your published Taskade Genesis app.
• Click App Settings (gear icon).
• Click Analytics in the settings menu

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.
