Hey everyone, it’s 2026. We’ve all asked this many times before.
But I thought with a new year half way over, people may have seen new tools.
Is there a solid mobile-first front-end platform that plays nicely with Airtable? Interfaces is desktop-focused. Softr went backwards. Many others are out of date or just replicate interfaces.
Has anyone seen anything new?
Question
2026 - anyone found a decent mobile first front end tool for Airtable?
+11
+1Glide is the one we reach for when the brief is genuinely mobile-first. The Airtable sync is solid and it feels much more native on phones than most of the responsive portal tools. Pricing can sting a bit at scale, but for internal operational apps it’s probably the cleanest fit right now.
I get what you mean on Softr as well. We still see it used successfully for portals, particularly where keeping backend costs down matters, but I’d think of it more as a responsive business app than a true mobile-first experience. Similar story with Noloco.
On Interfaces, I’d generally agree they still lean desktop-first, but the responsive blank layout has improved some in the last 12 months. Probably still not enough for a proper field-worker/mobile-native workflow, but for lighter mobile interactions it’s become more usable than it was.
For anything customer-facing or where offline/native behaviour really matters, we usually go with a custom front-end on the Airtable API instead.
