Plan your v0 app: features first, then screens
Flowmaps helps you plan an app for v0, so every screen v0 builds has a clear purpose and fits into the rest of your app.
What is v0?
v0 is an AI builder by Vercel. You chat with it to create web interfaces and apps, and it's especially good at screens and layouts.
Why plan before you build with v0
v0 makes good-looking screens quickly. Without a plan, you can end up with lots of screens that don't connect: a sign-up page, a dashboard, a settings page, but no clear way through them.
Planning first gives every screen a job. You know which feature it belongs to, what it needs to show, and what happens when someone clicks.

Describe your idea in Flowmaps
Flowmaps suggests the features your app needs.

- 3
Choose v0 as your builder
Each step is written for v0: the layout, the states (empty, loading, error) and what every button does.
- 4
Build and connect
Paste one step at a time into v0. Your board shows which features are done.
See a finished plan: example map for a booking app. How build prompts work: build prompts in the docs.
Tips for building with v0 as a beginner
- Ask for the empty state too: what does the screen show before there's any data?
- Describe what each button does, not just how it looks.
- Reuse the same style across steps so the screens feel like one app.
- Note where data comes from, so the screens can be connected later.
Questions about planning a v0 app
Does Flowmaps replace v0?
No. Flowmaps makes the plan and v0 does the building. You use both: Flowmaps decides what to build and in which order, and v0 turns each step into a working feature.
Do I need to know how to code to plan a v0 app with Flowmaps?
No. You describe your idea in your own words, and Flowmaps writes the plan in plain language. You copy each step into your builder when you're ready for it.
Is Flowmaps free?
Yes, Flowmaps is free to start. The Free plan covers one app idea; paid plans add unlimited apps and teams. AI usage runs on your own Anthropic key, without a markup.
