Build add-ons to extend Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms, and Gmail
Desktop add-ons for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms
Apps Script makes it easy to create and publish add-ons in an online store for Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Forms. There’s no better way to distribute scripts to large numbers of users, whether you want to ship your code to the whole world or keep it private to the users in your G Suite domain.
Desktop and mobile add-ons for Gmail
You can also build add-ons that extend Gmail on both desktop and mobile. Since you build Gmail add-ons with a card and widget library, you don't need to build separate UIs for desktop and mobile clients.
A living, breathing platform (well, metaphorically)
