As your no-code app grows from a simple prototype to a complex application with dozens or even hundreds of screens, maintaining consistency becomes increasingly difficult. Updating a single logo, icon, or color scheme across every screen can quickly turn into a tedious, error-prone process that eats up valuable development time. Without a centralized way to manage these application-wide settings, even minor design changes can become a major undertaking.
Fortunately, there's a smarter approach to handling global configurations in your app. Adalo is a no-code app builder for database-driven web apps and native iOS and Android apps—one version across all three platforms. AI-assisted building and streamlined publishing enable launch to the Apple App Store and Google Play in days rather than months. By leveraging Collections to store and reference your global settings, you can update assets in one place and have those changes reflected throughout your entire application instantly.

How Adalo Makes Managing App-wide Settings Simple
Adalo is a no-code app builder for database-driven web apps and native iOS and Android apps—one version across all three platforms, published to the Apple App Store and Google Play. This unified approach means that when you implement global settings in your Adalo app, those changes automatically apply everywhere your app lives—whether users access it on the web, their iPhone, or their Android device.
As your app scales and you add more screens and features, having a centralized way to manage settings becomes essential. With Adalo's database-driven architecture, you can create elegant solutions for handling app-wide configurations without touching every individual screen, saving you significant time and effort as your project grows.
Many Makers create apps consisting of dozens and in some cases hundreds of screens. As your application grows in size, so can the time required to make even trivial global changes to things like icons or the application logo. One way to maximize update efficiency is by managing references to various assets in using global settings. While global settings aren't a first-class feature in Adalo, you can easily manage them in a Collection. Watch this video to learn more:
