Twinr

Turn your Laravel web app into a mobile app

Build a Laravel mobile app without a rewrite

Native iOS and Android apps built from the Laravel app you already ship. Your front end, auth and payments come with it, and push notifications are built in. No React Native or Flutter rebuild, no second codebase.

What carries over

Everything you’ve built in Laravel, working in your app

The app loads your live front end, so there’s no mobile API to build and no second codebase to maintain.

Your front end, whatever it is

Blade, Livewire and Inertia with Vue or React render as they do in a mobile browser.

Your auth and sessions

Breeze, Jetstream, Fortify and Socialite logins work, and users stay signed in.

Your payments

Cashier with Stripe or Paddle, and any checkout you’ve built, run on your real flow.

Your routes and packages

Middleware, policies, Filament admin panels and the packages in your composer.json stay as they are.

Real-time features

Broadcasting with Echo, Reverb or Pusher keeps live updates flowing in the app.

Accounts and roles

Teams, roles and permissions apply in the app exactly as on the web.

Step by step

How to turn a Laravel web app into a mobile app

Five steps from URL to a live app. Your team keeps shipping to one codebase throughout.

  1. Start from your live app

    Open your production app on a phone and walk the key flows: sign-in, the main screens, forms and payments. The app renders the same pages, so anything that breaks on mobile web gets fixed in your views first.

  2. Add the native layer

    Paste your app’s URL into Twinr. It reads your logo, colours and menu, and adds a native tab bar, push, persistent login, offline handling and analytics.

  3. Customize and test

    Set your icon, splash screen and tabs, then install the preview build and run your flows end to end. If a CSRF, cookie or middleware rule trips the app, it shows up here, not in store review.

  4. Publish to both stores

    Submitted under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. On Premium, the Twinr team handles the listing, screenshots and review responses.

  5. Engage and grow

    Send updates, reminders and announcements by push, and track sessions and retention in Twinr analytics. Every deploy to production reaches the app instantly.

Features to jobs

What a Laravel app needs, and which Twinr feature covers it

Launches and announcements

Push lands on the lock screen and opens the exact page, not your homepage.

Push campaigns and automations →

Reminders that bring users back

Automated pushes for unfinished actions and things users are waiting on, with no cost per send.

App-only offers

Build app-only pages with native screens, without touching your Laravel codebase, then promote them to app users only.

Native screens and app-only pages →

Users who stay signed in

Persistent login keeps your Laravel session alive between opens, so users skip the login screen.

Native capabilities in every build →

Browsing without signal

Offline mode keeps visited pages readable and shows your brand instead of a browser error.

How the native shell works →

Knowing what the app earns

Sessions, retention and push opens tracked natively, so app users are measured apart from web.

What Twinr analytics measures →

Push notifications

The channel you own, without the per-send bill

Email and SMS still matter. Push reaches the lock screen in seconds, opens straight into the product, and with Twinr it's included on every plan.

You ship the code. Twinr runs the app.

One codebase. Your developers keep deploying Laravel as they do today, and the app follows.

Good to know

What to check before you launch

A few things need a check on a Laravel app. Here’s what they are and how to handle each.

Selling subscriptions inside the app

If users buy digital access or a SaaS plan inside an iOS app, Apple usually requires in-app purchase. Rules vary by country.

What Twinr covers: let existing customers sign in to plans bought on the web, and review your billing flow with us before submission.

Responsive views

The app shows your mobile layout, so admin-style screens built for desktop can feel cramped.

What Twinr covers: test in the preview build and make the screens users rely on responsive first.

Cookies, CSRF and middleware

Strict SameSite cookies, IP rules or user-agent checks can log users out or block requests in the app.

What Twinr covers: test sign-in and form posts in the preview build, and adjust session and middleware settings if needed.

An app in a frame is not enough

Apple rejects apps that offer little beyond a mobile website.

What Twinr covers: native navigation, push, persistent login and offline handling, which is what review looks for.

01

Can I turn a Laravel app into a mobile app?

Yes. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live Laravel front end, so your routes, views, auth and payments keep working, while Twinr adds native navigation, push notifications, offline handling and analytics on top.

02

Does it work with Livewire and Inertia?

Yes. Blade, Livewire and Inertia with Vue or React all render in the app as they do in a mobile browser, because the app loads the same pages.

03

Do I need to build an API for the app?

No. The app uses your existing front end, so there’s no mobile API to design, version or secure separately.

04

Will users stay logged in?

Yes. Sessions from Breeze, Jetstream, Fortify or your own auth persist between app opens, so users don’t sign in every time.

05

Do payments with Cashier work?

Yes. Cashier with Stripe or Paddle runs as it does on the web. If you sell digital access inside an iOS app, Apple’s in-app purchase rules may apply, and we’ll walk you through the options.

06

Do I have to resubmit the app when I deploy?

No. Every deploy to production reaches the app immediately, with no new build and no store review. Only changes to the native shell, such as the app name, icon or a new device permission, need a resubmission.

07

How is this different from Capacitor or NativePHP?

Those tools give your developers a native project to build and maintain. Twinr builds and maintains the native apps for you, with push, analytics and store submission included.

08

Who owns the app and the store listings?

You do. The apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, ratings, installs and user data belong to you.

09

How much does a Laravel mobile app cost?

Twinr plans start at $25 per month, with unlimited push notifications. Rebuilding a Laravel app in React Native or Flutter typically costs tens of thousands of dollars per platform, plus a mobile API and ongoing upkeep.
