A v0 alternative that gives you real, ownable code

If you want what v0 does but with a real backend and database, not just UI, Mortar is the developer-focused alternative — a real Django project you export and own.

What changes when you switch

  • ✓A real Django project instead of a platform-bound app.
  • ✓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.
  • ✓Built for developers and agencies who want to keep, read and extend the code.

Why pick Mortar over v0?
