Cost: building a new project costs 3 credits; an edit costs 2. New accounts start
with 5 free credits. Connecting a backend or a repo does not cost credits on its own. See
Credits & pricing.
Why it works this way
- Your data stays yours. Mythos never runs your database or holds your users’ auth tokens. If you stop using Mythos, your Supabase project and its data are untouched in your own account.
- Real code, not a locked template. The app the agent writes is a conventional React/Next.js project committed to Git — you can read it, edit it, and (after a one-time GitHub connect) export it to your own GitHub.
- No backend lock-in. Mythos captures no backend revenue and proxies no app traffic, so there is nothing to migrate off later.
Two distinctions worth getting right
Your Supabase vs ours
Mythos itself runs on Supabase for its own accounts and billing — but that is Mythos’s Supabase, and you never touch it. When this documentation says “connect Supabase,” it means your own Supabase project, which holds your app’s database, users, and files.| Mythos’s Supabase | Your Supabase | |
|---|---|---|
| Holds | Mythos accounts, credits, billing | Your app’s data, users, files |
| You manage it | No | Yes — it is in your Supabase account |
| Where you connect it | n/a | Workspace → Services → Cloud |
A Mythos-built site vs the workspace IDE
- A Mythos-built site is the app the agent generates — what your visitors see, and what you publish to a live URL.
- The workspace IDE is the editor inside Mythos where you chat with the agent, browse the file tree, and edit code by hand.
What you connect
Supabase
Connect your own Supabase for a database, auth, and storage. Paste credentials or connect with OAuth.
GitHub
Each project is a private Git repo you can review and roll back — export it to your own GitHub.
What Mythos does not do
- It does not host a database for you. There is no “Mythos Cloud” backend — that was retired.
- It does not see your Supabase service role key. The agent is given only your project URL and the public anon key.
- It does not proxy your app’s database traffic. Your app talks to your Supabase directly.
- It does not migrate your data between providers — switching backends means pointing at a new project.
FAQ
Do I need a backend to use Mythos?
Do I need a backend to use Mythos?
No. Mythos is frontend-first — landing pages, marketing sites, portfolios, and dashboards work
with no backend at all. You only connect Supabase when you need data saved, user accounts, or file
storage.
Which backends can I connect?
Which backends can I connect?
Supabase is the supported, fully wired backend. A few other provider names exist as reserved
values in the database, but no connect flow writes them today — Supabase is the path that works.
Where does my app's code live?
Where does my app's code live?
Mythos keeps each project in a private Git repository it manages, one per project, and every build
and edit is a commit. Connect your GitHub account to export a copy that is yours. See
GitHub.
Is my Supabase the same as the one Mythos runs on?
Is my Supabase the same as the one Mythos runs on?
No. Mythos runs on its own Supabase for accounts and billing; you never touch it. The Supabase you
connect is your own project, holding your app’s data.
