Convert JavaScript into a mobile app

All your JavaScript, running as a real mobile app

The app runs on the same code you ship to the web, so every screen, flow and integration works on iOS and Android too.

Your framework, whatever it is

Angular, Svelte, Ember, Alpine, jQuery or code you wrote yourself: the app renders what the browser renders.

Routes and URLs

Client-side routes and server-rendered URLs both work, and any link can open the matching screen in the app.

State and storage

Local storage, IndexedDB and your state library keep working, so users pick up where they left off.

Login and sessions

Your login, cookies and tokens behave as they do on the web, and people stay signed in between visits.

APIs and live data

REST, GraphQL and WebSocket connections reach the same endpoints, with the same auth, from inside the app.

Build tools and hosting

Vite, webpack or no build step at all, hosted wherever you host today.

Payments and embeds

Stripe, maps, chat widgets and the other scripts your app loads keep working in the app.

Analytics

Event tracking in GA4, Mixpanel or your own pipeline keeps working, with app sessions marked as app sessions.

For your developers

Native features in plain JavaScript

Inside the app, your pages can call native features through a JavaScript API: push notifications, haptic feedback, the app's login screen and more. It's plain JavaScript, so it works from any framework. This module detects the app, links push to your user IDs and adds a haptic buzz when an order or form goes through.

  • One module, any framework

    Import the same helpers into an Angular service, a Svelte store or a plain script tag.

  • Push aimed at the right user

    Call onesignalSetExternalUserId after sign-in, so your server can target transactional push by user ID.

  • Haptics and login screens

    Add haptic feedback to key actions, close the app's login screen after sign-in, and send people back to it when they log out.

  • Styles for the app alone

    The in-app class lets your CSS hide web-only elements, like footers and download banners, without touching your markup.

mobile-app.js
// mobile-app.js works in any framework, or plain JavaScript
export const inApp = navigator.userAgent
  .toLowerCase()
  .includes('canvas');

// Style app users differently with .in-app in your CSS
if (inApp) document.documentElement.classList.add('in-app');

// Resolves with the app's API once it's on the page, or null
export function whenAppReady() {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    if (!inApp) return resolve(null);
    let attempts = 0;
    const timer = setInterval(() => {
      attempts += 1;
      if (window.nativeFunctions || attempts >= 50) {
        clearInterval(timer);
        resolve(window.nativeFunctions ?? null);
      }
    }, 100);
  });
}

// After sign-in: tie push notifications to your own user ID
export async function linkUser(userId) {
  const native = await whenAppReady();
  native?.onesignalSetExternalUserId(String(userId));
}

// A small buzz when an order or form goes through
export async function confirmAction() {
  const native = await whenAppReady();
  native?.hapticFeedback();
}

Read the case study
"Being web-based allows us to update the app in-house. We really feel we have control of the app, we're able to update it, we're able to do everything as if it were a native app that we were developing. So the flexibility is really amazing."
Roberto Artavia CEO, Givi Enterprise Gifting
"It made sense because we wanted to make use of our existing functionality and have a single codebase that enabled us to just be able to then deliver to both desktop and mobile scenarios without us having to have a dedicated codebase directly for an app."

MobiLoud vs the alternatives

Package it, rewrite it or build on it

Capacitor and Cordova bundle your web build into native projects your team maintains, with an app store release for each change unless you add a live-update service. React Native starts over in a new framework. MobiLoud builds on the web app you have.

MobiLoud

  • Built on your existing web app, as it is
  • Any framework, or plain JavaScript
  • Deploys show up in the app right away
  • No native app development required
  • Live in 6 to 8 weeks

Capacitor or Cordova

  • Your web build bundled into the app binary
  • Native projects and plugins to maintain
  • Web changes wait for an app release or a live-update service
  • Signing, builds and submissions on your side
  • OS and SDK updates on your side

React Native

  • A new framework, even for React developers
  • Screens rebuilt from scratch with native components
  • A separate codebase from your web app
  • Its own releases, each through app store review
  • A mobile team to hire or grow

The operating model

You keep writing JavaScript. The native side is ours.

Your stack, your tooling and your release rhythm stay the same. We build the iOS and Android apps, keep them compatible with each OS update, and take care of any app-specific maintenance required.

Your team

Stays on the web stack

  • Web releases, shipped whenever you ship them
  • App-only pages or styles, added when you choose
  • Native calls from your own JavaScript
  • Product decisions and priorities

Our team

Does the iOS and Android work

  • Native iOS and Android apps, built and device-tested
  • Store reviews and releases, under your own accounts
  • Keeping up with every new iOS and Android release
  • Notifications, deep linking and app analytics, ready at launch
  • Native SDK integrations when you need them (Enterprise)
  • A dedicated success manager and an SLA (Enterprise)

Getting live

Your web app, live in both stores in 6 to 8 weeks

Your team's part is a kickoff and a review of the test build. We handle the native build, the testing and the submissions.

  1. Week 1

    Kickoff

    Your team shows us the app: its main screens, how people sign in and anything that should look different on a phone. Then you invite us to your Apple and Google developer accounts.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Build and integrate

    Starting from your live site, we add native navigation, push notifications and deep links, and you'll be testing a build on your phone in week two.

  3. Week 4

    Customize and test

    Testing on real devices, we adjust the splash screen, app icons and back button, then connect GA4 and Firebase, ready for your sign-off.

  4. Weeks 5 to 8

    Launch

    Submission happens from your developer accounts, and we deal with app store review, which usually takes one to two weeks. After that, each deploy keeps the app current.

For the people who sign it off

We can deliver everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:

  • Data Processing Agreement and GDPR documentation
  • An SLA with 24/7 support and an uptime commitment (Enterprise)
  • Custom contracts, redlines and payment terms
  • Payment by invoice or bank transfer
  • User data stays in your own systems

Which JavaScript frameworks does it work with?

All of them. Angular, Svelte and SvelteKit, Ember, Solid, Alpine, jQuery and plain JavaScript all work, and so do React, Next.js and Vue. If your web app works in a mobile browser, MobiLoud can build native apps on it.

Do we need Capacitor or Cordova?

No. Capacitor and Cordova bundle your web build into native projects your team maintains, and a web change usually means a new app store release. MobiLoud builds on your live web app and handles the native side, so your deploys update the app.

Is React Native an option for a JavaScript team?

It is, but it's a separate framework with its own components, so a React Native app is a second codebase, even for developers who know React. MobiLoud gives you native apps built on the JavaScript you have.

Does it work with single-page apps?

Yes. Client-side routing, history changes and apps that load everything through an API all work, and so do server-rendered and static sites.

Will it feel like a native app?

Yes. MobiLoud adds a native tab bar and navigation, push notifications, persistent login, deep links, a splash screen and haptic feedback. Your screens render from your own code, so the design stays yours, and we tune details like the back button for phones.

How do push notifications work?

Push goes through your own OneSignal account, or Klaviyo on the Enterprise plan. Once a user signs in, one JavaScript call links their device to your user ID. Your server can then send transactional push through OneSignal's API, and your marketing team can send campaigns from its dashboard.

What about a progressive web app?

A progressive web app stays out of the App Store and Google Play, and on iPhone, web push only reaches people who add it to their Home Screen. MobiLoud gives you native apps in both stores, with push for everyone who installs them, built on the same code as your PWA.

Will Apple approve it?

Yes. Since 2013 we've taken more than 2,000 apps through app store review, and we'll handle yours. Your app has the native navigation, push notifications and persistent login Apple looks for, and we reply to anything a reviewer asks.

What does it cost?

The Business plan is $1,499 a month, or $1,274 a month billed annually, plus a one-time fee to build and publish the apps, with up to 10,000 monthly active users. Enterprise, with native SDK integrations, a dedicated success manager and an SLA, is custom-priced. Neither plan takes a share of your revenue.

How long does it take to launch?

Most teams are live in 6 to 8 weeks: four weeks to build, test and approve the apps, then one to two weeks of app store review. Your team can keep deploying the whole time.

Who owns the app and the code?

You do, from day one. The App Store and Google Play listings are in your developer accounts, and your code stays in your repo. The platform that builds the native apps is MobiLoud intellectual property, and if you leave, your listings and users come with you.
