A Lovable alternative with a real backend

When you need more than a front-end, Mortar is the Lovable alternative built around a real, production Django backend and database you own and export.

Backend-first by design

✓Real Django (Python) — models, views, templates, migrations, tests.
✓A real relational database (SQLite in preview, Postgres-ready), not a hosted black box.
✓You own the code: one-click full source export, runs anywhere, no lock-in.
✓Live preview + an in-browser editor and terminal on your actual project.

Frequently asked

Do I own the code Mortar generates?

Yes. Every project is a real Django repository you can export in full and run anywhere — there is no proprietary runtime and no vendor lock-in.

Can Mortar handle real data models and auth?

Yes — it generates real Django models, migrations and auth, backed by a real relational database.

Describe it in plain English. Preview, edit, and export the full source — no lock-in.
