Submit your production URL
WebNativeApp checks whether the site can run inside a native shell — a client-rendered app, not a server that builds a different first page for every user.
Entity overview
What is WebNativeApp?
WebNativeApp is a website-to-mobile-app service built on Capacitor. It converts a compatible, already-published web app into iOS and Android projects — without a rewrite in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, or React Native.

How it works
Three steps from a live website to a store build.
Choose iOS, Android, or both
The website is packaged into a native Capacitor project with your app name, icon, and splash screen, using the included M2 build minutes.
The app follows your website
The published app loads your site through a controlled native shell. Normal website deploys are what update the app — there is no separate mobile release step for content changes.
Fit
Best for, and not recommended for.
WebNativeApp packages an existing website. It does not build one, and it does not replace a full native rewrite for products that need one.
Best for
- Web apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Cursor, Vite, React, Vue, or similar stacks
- Products where every visitor loads the same client-rendered shell
- Teams that want to keep shipping from their existing website
- Founders who want the app source in their own repo, not a rented dashboard
Not recommended for
- Sites that render a different first HTML page per logged-in user on the server
- Products that need heavy offline support or custom native UI
- Projects that need custom native code beyond the available Capacitor plugins
- Anyone looking for a no-code website builder rather than a packaging step
What you own
Nothing is rented back to you.
One handoff, your repo, your store listings, your release flow.
- 01
Source code
The generated iOS and Android project lands in your own repository, not a locked dashboard.
- 02
Store listings
You submit under your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, so you keep control of the listings.
- 03
No subscription
Payment is one-time per app package. There is no monthly converter fee to keep the app working.
- 04
Build minutes
200 or 400 M2 build minutes are included, so you are not billed separately just to produce the build.
Pricing
One platform or both stores, paid once.
One platform
$149/app
For a compatible website that needs either an iOS app or an Android app.

Technologies
Standard native projects, not a proprietary format.
- Core runtime
- Capacitor — open-source native runtime maintained by the Ionic team
- Backed by
- Capgo, one of the leading open-source organizations in the Capacitor ecosystem — it tracks 50M+ devices across the apps it powers, including apps with tens of millions of installs
- Build & update layer
- Capgo tooling — manages M2 build minutes and website-powered updates
- iOS output
- A standard Xcode project, not a custom fork
- Android output
- A standard Android Studio project, not a custom fork
- Native code required
- None — plugins are configured, not hand-written in Swift or Kotlin
Native features
Optional bridges to the phone, added on top of the website.
WebNativeApp does not require any native features to ship. Selected Capacitor plugins can be added where they create a visible mobile upgrade.
Social login
Let users sign in through native Google, Facebook, or Apple account flows.
Camera capture
Show a live camera view for photos, scanning, check-ins, and visual workflows.
Biometric unlock
Let repeat users open sensitive screens with Face ID, Touch ID, or Android biometrics.
In-app reviews
Ask satisfied users for App Store or Google Play ratings without leaving the app.
Live Activities
Show live timers, deliveries, or order status in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.
Widgets
Expose status, shortcuts, counters, or saved items on the phone home screen.
App Store requirements
WebNativeApp does not skip store review.
- Apple
- Apple Developer Program, $99/year
- Google Play Developer account, $25 one-time
- Guideline 4.2 risk
- Mitigated by default: native navigation, push notifications, splash screen, and haptics ship on every project, so the app is not a bare website wrapper
- Review process
- Standard App Store and Google Play review — WebNativeApp does not skip or expedite it
Alternatives
Other ways to get from website to app.
Other packaging platforms
- Capgo — an ongoing Capacitor app platform (OTA updates, channels, native builds) rather than a one-time packaging service
- Capawesome — a broader mobile app platform and plugin toolkit for teams already managing native releases
- Despia — another web-app-to-native-framework converter
- Median.co — a webview app platform priced on recurring plans
Non-packaging paths
- Full native rebuild — rewriting the product in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, or React Native, for products that truly need it
- PWA install — the lightest option when App Store and Google Play distribution are not required

Who owns the code WebNativeApp produces?
You do. The generated iOS and Android project is delivered to your own repository, and the store listings run under your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts.
Is WebNativeApp affiliated with Capgo?
