Convert any website into a native mobile app.

Two conversion options​

Option 1: WebView wrapper (fast)​

Wraps your website in a mobile app shell.

Best for:

  • Budget-conscious projects
  • Websites that work well on mobile already

Prompt:

Make a mobile app for https://your-website.com

Result: App that loads your website with native navigation.

Option 2: Native conversion (premium)​

AI analyzes and recreates the site with native components.

Best for:

  • Complex interactive apps
  • Brand-focused experiences
  • Apps needing offline support
  • Maximum performance

Prompt:

Convert https://your-website.com into a native React Native app.
Recreate the design with native components.

Result: Fully native app matching your website's design.

WebView wrapper​

How it works​

  1. AI creates a React Native app
  2. Uses react-native-webview component
  3. Your website loads inside the app
  4. Native navigation wraps the content

What you get​

  • Native app shell (shows in app store)
  • Back button handling
  • Pull to refresh
  • Loading indicators
  • Deep linking support

Example prompt​

Create a mobile app wrapper for https://techcrunch.com
- Add pull to refresh
- Handle back button navigation
- Show loading spinner
- Add a home button in header

Limitations​

  • Requires internet connection
  • Performance depends on website
  • Limited access to native features
  • Users see web content, not native UI

Native conversion​

How it works​

  1. AI analyzes website (screenshots + DOM + styles)
  2. Extracts design tokens (colors, fonts, spacing)
  3. Recreates screens with React Native components
  4. Implements navigation natively
  5. Recreates forms and interactions

What you get​

  • Fully native UI components
  • Offline capability
  • Native animations and gestures
  • Access to device features
  • Best performance

Example prompt​

Convert https://linear.app into a native React Native app.
- Recreate the project board with native components

Best results​

For best native conversion:

  1. Provide the URL clearly
  2. Specify key screens to convert
  3. Mention important interactions
  4. Note any customizations needed
Convert the dashboard at https://app.example.com/dashboard

Key screens to convert:
1. Main dashboard with metrics cards
2. User list with search
3. Settings page

Important: Keep the blue accent color (#3b82f6)
and use native iOS date pickers.
