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 Supabase data stays yours. Mythos never runs your connected Supabase database or holds the auth tokens of your app’s Supabase users. 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 + Vite project committed to Git. Connect your GitHub account and Mythos creates a new private repository you own, then keeps one selected active branch in two-way sync.
- No backend lock-in. Mythos captures no backend revenue and does not proxy your app’s Supabase database traffic. Connector setup and connector action traffic use the separate connector gateway.
Two distinctions worth getting right
What “connect Supabase” means
When this documentation says “connect Supabase,” it always means your own Supabase project — the one holding your app’s database, users, and files. You connect it from Workspace → More → Cloud, it stays in your Supabase account, and Mythos never stores your app’s data anywhere else.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 Supabase account, then choose or create the project this app should use. No keys need to be copied or pasted.
GitHub
Review and roll back the managed history, then connect your GitHub account. Mythos creates a new private repository you own and keeps one selected active branch in two-way sync.
App and chat connectors
Connectors are separate from the app’s backend. The catalog exposes bounded setup surfaces for external services and tools; it does not replace Supabase for database, authentication, or storage. Each catalog entry remains authoritative for which setup methods and app/chat modes are available. The current catalog marks these definitions as Ready:- Notion
- Linear
- Resend
- Airtable
- Google Analytics
- Custom MCP
- Custom API
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 only supported, fully wired backend for app data, authentication, and storage. The separate Connectors catalog links external services and tools; those connectors are not alternative app backends.
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 and Mythos creates a new private repository you own, then keeps one selected active branch in two-way sync. See GitHub.
Whose Supabase project is it?
Whose Supabase project is it?
Yours. Mythos connects to a project in your own Supabase account, never stores your app’s data itself, and leaves that project untouched if you stop using Mythos.
