Add and manage applications

Applications are how you make your product or service available to your users, such as through a mobile app, a web app, or a website.

If you plan to manage authentication for each of your applications using Kinde, you will need to add and configure each application.

Kinde provides several application types, including a regular web app (for execution on a server), single page web app (for browsers and mobile), and machine to machine applications (for backend services that require access to an API, including the Kinde management API).

Delete an application

Link to this section

You can now delete applications in Kinde. You need to be an owner or an admin to do this.

Deleting an application is a destructive action which cannot be reversed. We recommend backing up all relevant data and checking for application dependencies.

When an application is deleted, all application-related authentication settings, token settings, session information, and API links are also deleted.

1. Go to Settings > Environment > Applications.
2. Select the three dots next to the application you want to delete and select Delete application. A confirmation window appears.
3. Follow the prompts in the window and select Delete application.
