AppControl:
Your Command Center for Mendix Apps
Creating and managing apps with Mendix is faster and more flexible than ever.

Think of it as your app’s “mission control,” giving you a complete view of your applications’ health, security, and compliance—all in one easy-to-use platform.
Why Choose AppControl?

This way, you’re not just creating apps—you’re building apps that are secure, up-to-date, and in line with the standards your organization needs.
