A classifieds app builder where the site is the app.
With Yclas, the classifieds app builder and the website are one thing. Every site installs on a phone's home screen with your icon, opens full screen, sends push notifications and lets sellers post from the camera. There is no app store to wait for, and on the Marketplace plan you can add your own branded iPhone app as well.
Free for 15 days · No credit card · Installable on every plan, from $19 a month
Mobile-friendly classifieds software, built around the phone.
Most buyers browse classifieds on a phone, and most sellers have the item in front of them when they post. These four things matter most.
Every screen of the app, from search to sold.

A classifieds app without an app store.
Visitors add your site to their home screen from the browser. It opens full screen with your icon and name, like any app, and shows an offline page when the signal drops. Updates reach everyone at once, because there is no app version to update.
- Android: install from Chrome, with push notifications.
- iPhone: install from Safari's Share menu.
Notifications that bring buyers and sellers back.
A buyer saves a search and hears about the next match before anyone else. A seller gets a push the moment someone messages or makes an offer. Each person picks what they want to hear about. On iPhone, notifications work once the site is on the home screen (iOS 16.4 or later); on Android and computers they work from the browser.

Sellers list from the photo they just took.
On the post page a seller takes a photo, and the AI fills in the category, title, description and a price for them to check. Posting takes about a minute, which matters on a phone more than anywhere.
- Listings written from a photo: 50 a month on Starter, up to 500 on Marketplace.
Your own app on the App Store, on the Marketplace plan.
The Marketplace plan includes your own iPhone app, with your name and icon, published on the App Store under your brand. It is a new part of the plan: we prepare and submit the app with you, and Apple's review decides when it goes live. There is no Android app on Google Play; Android users install the site from Chrome.

What is a classifieds app builder?
A tool that gives your classifieds site an app for phones. With Yclas the site itself installs like an app, with push notifications, and the Marketplace plan adds a branded iPhone app.
Do I need a native classifieds mobile app?
Usually not at the start. An installable site reaches every phone on day one, with no store review. An App Store app helps once you have a loyal audience.
Is there an Android app?
Not on Google Play. Android users install your site from Chrome, where it opens full screen and gets push notifications like an app.
Do push notifications work on iPhone?
Yes, once the visitor has added your site to the home screen (iOS 16.4 or later), which is how Apple allows web notifications.
Is the branded iPhone app ready to use?
It is part of the Marketplace plan and new: we prepare and submit your app with you, and it goes live after Apple's review.
Is Yclas mobile-friendly classifieds software?
Yes. Every look is designed at phone size first, and sellers can post a listing from a photo in about a minute.
Can I see it on my own phone?
Yes. Start a free trial, open your site on your phone and add it to the home screen.
