AppJet, Inc.[1] was a website that allowed users to create web-based applications on a client web browser. AppJet was founded by three MIT graduates, two of whom were engineers at Google, before starting AppJet.[2] They launched their initial public beta on December 12, 2007, allowing anyone to create a web app.

AppJet received funding from Y Combinator in the summer of 2007.[3] However, the project was closed on July 1, 2009 to focus on other businesses. AppJet was finally acquired by Google on December 4, 2009, for an undisclosed amount.[4]
