A photo, a sentence, a different room
Everybody has the same thought in a rented flat: this room could be better and I have no idea how. Not a floor plan, not a mood board — just show me this room, the one I am standing in, looking like something else.
So: upload a photo, type how you want it to feel, get the room back.
One day, then six months
The thing was built in a day. The repository's first day carries 118 commits, which is what building on Lovable looks like from the outside: a conversation, compiled. The interesting number is the second one — six hundred more commits across the following six months, which is the part nobody shows you. A product is not the day it works; it is the two hundred days after, spent on credits, sign-in, watermarks, a blog and the showcase.
The business end
It gives away one credit a day, with no card, which is enough to try it on your own living room and see whether the result is worth anything to you. Paid credits buy the better model — sharper, no watermark — at $0.99 for two, and if you would rather someone else did it, there is a concierge service from $50. That last line is the most honest thing on the page: the software is cheap, and taste is not.
There is also a small pile of articles on the site — where to start redecorating, how to handle a room that is too big, what actually helps a house sell. They exist because a product like this lives or dies on people searching for the problem rather than the tool, and writing them is the least glamorous work in the whole project.
And the thing that will replace it
Running on someone else's platform means every generated room costs money through their gateway, and the margin on a $0.99 pack is not a business — it is a rounding error with support tickets. So there is a successor in progress, called Spacery: the same studio with the subscription machinery taken out, pointed straight at the image model with your own key. No middleman, no credits, no watermark — your room, your key, your bill.
It is not open to anyone yet, and this entry gets updated when it is.
Still rough
It redecorates; it does not understand your flat. Ask for something a room cannot physically do and it will cheerfully do it anyway. The free credit resets daily, which is generous enough to be useful and stingy enough to be annoying, which is roughly the point.
