AppWrap

Overview

A platform and dashboard that takes a website you already run and produces real iOS and Android applications around it, with native bridges for the device capabilities a browser cannot reach.

The problem

Rebuilding a working web product as two native apps is the most expensive way to reach an app store. The cheap alternative — a bare web view — throws away camera, biometrics and push, which is usually the entire reason for shipping an app.

What we built

A Capacitor-based wrapper plus a dashboard that manages the build, paired with a JavaScript bridge the web app can feature-detect. The same codebase runs as a plain website in a browser and as a native app with hardware access when it is inside the shell.

Worth knowing

• One web codebase, two app-store artifacts, no forked front end.
• Native features degrade to browser equivalents rather than breaking the site.
