01
Built for a phone in a van
Big tap targets, today’s stops in order, and a detail screen with the address, the contact and the notes. react-native-maps for the stops on a map, and a hand-off to the phone’s own navigation app for the driving.
Use case — native mobile app
Build the delivery app your drivers use, on their own phones
Delivery days run on a printed manifest and a group chat full of photos nobody can search. The software that fixes it is per-driver, per-month, and still does not match your run sheet. What you need is small and specific: today’s stops in order, a map, a tap to mark delivered, a photo as proof, and the office seeing it happen. That needs a native app — location and camera on a phone in a van — and Vibely builds native.
- Real React Native and Expo — native navigation and native components, not a web view
- Camera and GPS through expo-camera and expo-location
- Stops on a map with react-native-maps
- Photos and statuses in your own Supabase project
- Scan a QR code and run it on your own phone through Expo Go while you build
- Cloud builds through EAS reach TestFlight and Play internal testing
Start with this prompt
Paste it in and edit the details to match your own. Being specific about the screens and the data is what separates a working app from a mockup.
Build a native mobile app for delivery drivers. Home: today’s stops in sequence — address, customer name, a note, and a status chip. A progress bar at the top showing how many of the stops are done. Stop detail: the full address, a Navigate button that opens the phone’s maps app, a phone number that dials, and three buttons — Delivered, Failed, Rescheduled. Failed asks for a reason. Delivered opens the camera, takes a proof-of-delivery photo, records where and when, and uploads it. A second tab with a map of today’s stops, coloured by status. Data in Supabase: drivers, stops, statuses and photos. A driver only sees their own run. Seed a run of eight stops so I can walk through it.
What to build next
- Add a signature capture on the stop detail alongside the photo.
- Queue completions locally when there is no signal and sync when there is.
- Build the office web dashboard against the same database.
Native mobile app
What the build actually consists of
For a small fleet, a distributor, a florist, a bakery or anyone whose drivers currently work from paper and a chat thread. It is not a routing optimiser or a dispatch platform; it is the app that replaces the manifest and the photo thread.
02
Camera and location, natively
expo-camera for the proof-of-delivery photo and expo-location for where the stop was actually completed — real native modules, which is exactly what a web app in a shell cannot reach properly.
03
The office sees it
Stops, statuses and photos live in your own Supabase project, so a web dashboard built in the same account shows the run as it happens. One workspace, two apps, one database.
What you get
- Today’s stops in sequence, with address, contact and notes
- A map view of the run, and hand-off to the phone’s navigation app
- Mark delivered, failed or rescheduled with a reason
- A proof-of-delivery photo captured and uploaded per stop
- Status visible to the office as each stop completes

Paste the prompt above and scan the QR code when the build lands — the app runs on your own phone while you are still changing it. The free plan needs no card.

Questions, answered.
Can drivers use it where there is no signal?+
It has to be asked for — say so in the prompt and the completions are written to device storage and synced when the connection returns. Ask for that from the start if your runs go through dead zones; retrofitting an offline queue is more work than having it from the first build.
Does it do route optimisation?+
No. The app takes the stop order you give it. Optimising a route is a genuinely hard problem with dedicated services for it — the honest version of this app is the manifest, the proof and the status, which is the part that is currently paper.
How do drivers install it?+
While you are building, they scan a QR code and run it in Expo Go. For real use, Vibely builds through EAS and can push to TestFlight and Play internal testing, which is enough for a fleet; the public store listing is your own submission from your own developer accounts.
Can the office see the run without an app?+
Yes — build the web dashboard in the same account against the same Supabase database. Vibely builds both web and native mobile, so the two sides share one schema instead of an integration.
