iOS and Android shell apps for your site, with push and room for native extensions
BlueNative is a custom-built iOS and Android shell app that loads your existing site or store through the platform web view (WKWebView on iOS, WebView on Android). It's a real iOS / Android codebase, but the bulk of the UI comes from your site, so you maintain one product, not two. We layer push notifications, custom branding, and native modules on top where a particular flow benefits from them.
A custom-built iOS and Android shell. The shell is a real native codebase that we maintain; what runs inside the shell is your existing site, served via the platform's web view (WKWebView on iOS, WebView on Android).
You keep one product to maintain. The web stays the source of truth, the mobile apps stay in sync without an extra deploy pipeline. We add the things a website cannot do on its own: push notifications, branded launch experiences, deep linking, and (when a particular flow needs it) custom native modules.
What you get
iOS and Android shell apps loading your existing site
App Store and Google Play submission handled by us
Room to add native modules when a flow needs them (camera, scanner, offline cache, biometric auth, etc.)
Ongoing updates and platform-compliance maintenance
How it works
Kickoff is a scoping conversation: what the source site is, what the app needs to do, what data it pulls from where, what's worth adding as a native module on top. From there, we build the iOS and Android shells in parallel, integrate push and analytics, brand the launch experience, and submit to both stores.
Most apps go live in four to six weeks. After launch, the monthly plan covers updates and platform-compliance maintenance so your app stays current as iOS and Android requirements evolve.
When a shell is the right call
Ecommerce stores that want App Store presence and push without doubling their mobile maintenance burden
Content sites where readers shift their time to apps but the content is best maintained as web
Business tools that need a branded mobile presence but reuse the web product as the core
Teams that want to test mobile demand before committing to a separate native build
If the mobile experience genuinely needs to diverge from web (a fully different IA, native gestures throughout, deep offline), a separate native build will serve you better. We will tell you when that line has been crossed.
Pricing
Predictable monthly, project-based setup
Setup is a one-off engagement scoped to your site, integrations, and feature set. Everything after that runs on a monthly plan that covers updates and platform-compliance maintenance.
From €299/month
Setup from 50 hours, scoped to your site
Setup billed separately. Subscription begins once the apps are live in both stores.
✓iOS and Android shell apps loading your existing site
It's a custom-built native shell that loads your site through the platform web view. The shell is a real iOS / Android codebase, with native features (push notifications, branding, deep links) layered on top. The day-to-day storefront stays in sync with your site because it IS your site. If a specific flow needs a true native module (camera, scanner, offline cache, etc.), we add it.
Why a shell instead of a fully native rebuild?
You maintain one product, not two. Most stores and content sites don't need their mobile UX to diverge from web; what they need is App Store presence, push notifications, and a branded mobile experience. A shell delivers that without doubling your maintenance burden. When a flow genuinely needs to diverge, we add a native module for that specific surface.
Typically 4-6 weeks, depending on requirements, content readiness, and the app store review process. We give you a clear timeline during kickoff.
What platforms (source sites) do you support?
Most modern platforms: Magento (Adobe Commerce and Open Source), WooCommerce, Shopify, headless CMS setups, and custom-built sites. If you have something different, tell us and we will scope the fit.
Can I send push notifications?
Yes. Push is included in every plan, with segmented audiences, scheduled sends, and campaign support.
What's included in the monthly plan?
iOS and Android shell apps loading your site, push notifications, custom branding, App Store and Google Play submission, ongoing updates, and platform-compliance maintenance. Native modules for specific flows can be added as part of an extension engagement.
How much does BlueNative cost?
Pricing starts at €299/month with a one-time setup project from 50 hours, scoped to your site's complexity and feature needs. Subscription begins once the apps are live in both stores.
