Top 5 Bubble Plugins of 2023

5. Air Date/Time Dropper

For when you need your users to name a time and place

For the times when you want to make selecting a date and/or time clear, simple, and elegant, there’s Air Date/Time Dropper from Zeroqode. Technically two plugins in one download — Air Date Dropper and Air Time Dropper — you can add either to your project to customize their properties and match the look, feel, and behavior of your app. With more than 153,300 lifetime downloads, we especially love that this free plugin supports multiple languages and alphabets around the world.

4. Air Copy to clipboard

For when you need to give Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v a little more horsepower

Copy and paste: it’s a pairing as natural as peanut butter and jelly. With more than 158,000 lifetime installs, the free Air Copy to clipboard plugin from Zeroqode makes incorporating copy/paste functions into your app a breeze — just install and drop the the element on your page to style and set up. 

3. Feather Icons

For when you need to kick your branding up a notch

Every app deserves beautiful iconography — that’s where Feather Icons by AirDev comes in. The free plugin with more than 149,800 lifetime installs enables users to add more than 287 practical and familiar icons from the Feather Icons open-source library. Customize the color, fill color, and stroke width to match the look and feel of your app.

2. AirAlert

For when you need to keep your users posted

In traditional software design and development, a “toast notification” is a non-modal-style message that briefly appears when an event occurs. Toasts can often be dismissed by tapping or swiping them off the screen, or they may disappear on their own automatically. AirAlert, a free plugin built by AirDev with more than 252,300 lifetime installs, makes adding these notifications to your app easy and painless for an optimal end-user experience.

1. Toolbox

For when you want to sprinkle some code into no-code

Bubble’s visual editor is mighty powerful — but every once in a while, a little bit of JavaScript can help optimize a process or two. Toolbox, a free plugin created by Misha V. with more than 538,200 lifetime downloads, makes it possible for code-savvy devs to run custom JavaScript in their app. Whether you want to make JavaScript expressions available on your Bubble page or create a function that sends the function parameter to Bubble to be used in dynamic data, Toolbox has you covered.
