What platforms does Zalcro support?

Zalcro is available on Web App.

What are the limitations of Zalcro?

Full prompt packs, the implementation plan and tickets beyond Phase 1 require a paid Builder subscription. Starter tier only includes the first paste-ready prompt, so free users cannot complete a whole build from it. DOCX and Draw.io XML export are limited to the Builder tier.

What is Zalcro?

Zalcro is a coding tool that plans your app with AI before you prompt Lovable, Bolt or Cursor. Zalcro turns a short plain-language conversation into an architecture document, system diagram and phase-by-phase prompts or tickets for Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor and Claude Code, so AI builds stay coherent past the 80% mark.

Zalcro is a planning tool for people who build software with AI coding assistants. Its premise is that most AI-built apps stall around the 80% mark because each part was generated without knowing what it had to connect to. Instead of jumping straight into a builder, the user first holds a short conversation with Zalcro, typically five to ten minutes, describing the idea in plain language and answering follow-up questions about audience, hosting budget and similar constraints. From that conversation Zalcro produces a set of planning artifacts, and the output depends on the chosen workflow. The vibe coding workflow targets Lovable, Bolt, Replit and v0. It yields an Architecture Design Document, a system diagram, a phased roadmap and a Prompt Pack, a sequence of paste-ready prompts where each one covers a build phase and comes with a checklist to confirm before moving on. The agentic workflow targets Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and similar agents. It adds an implementation plan and a dependency-aware ticket backlog that agents can read directly over MCP, and tickets can be copied as structured text for Jira, Linear or ClickUp. Documents export as Markdown, PDF or DOCX, and diagrams export as images or Draw.io XML. The audience spans non-technical founders who want the technical decisions explained in plain terms, and experienced developers who want a baseline design document before writing code. Compared with asking a general chat assistant for a plan, Zalcro positions itself as the step after the thinking: it turns decisions into ordered, verifiable instructions and keeps them consistent across sessions, since projects are saved and the conversation can be resumed. A free Starter tier gives a complete build plan and the first prompt, while the full set of prompts, implementation plan and tickets sit behind a paid Builder subscription. It fits between idea and code, complementing rather than replacing the coding tools it feeds.

How do you use Zalcro?

1Create a free account
Sign up or log in from the Zalcro login page. The Starter tier is free and does not ask for a credit card.
2Pick your workflow
Choose the Vibe Coding workflow for Lovable, Bolt or Replit, or the Agentic workflow for Cursor, Claude Code or Codex.
3Describe your idea in the planning chat
Explain what you want to build in plain language and answer the follow-up questions about audience, budget and scope. This usually takes five to ten minutes.
4Review the architecture and diagram
Check the generated Architecture Design Document and system diagram, then approve them so the implementation plan and tickets can be generated.
5Compare against sample outputs
Browse the real example outputs to see what prompt packs and documents look like before committing to a build.
6Paste prompts or connect your agent
Paste the prompts into your builder in order, confirming each checkpoint, or let a coding agent read the tickets via MCP.
