Big news! Bifrost launches next week!
Bifrost is the build service for NativePHP. It's a hosted platform built to take the pain out of building and distributing native apps, for individuals and teams.
Build for anything. From anywhere. With PHP!
It's already saving developers hundreds of hours in build and release cycles, so they can focus on building and shipping awesome apps.
After months of hard work, rigorous testing and tons of feedback from our wonderful early bird testers, we’ve locked in the first feature set and are ready to open the gate and let everyone in.
Mark your calendars: Launch day is Tuesday, September 9th.
#Built for NativePHP
Bifrost makes it effortless to compile your NativePHP apps for iOS and Android.
We're especially proud of the fact that Windows and Linux users will be able to compile their mobile apps for iOS and distribute them to their Apple App Store Connect account easily without needing a Mac. 🔥
And this is just the beginning! Soon after launch, we’ll be rolling out support for OTA (over-the-air) updates, so you can ship new versions of your app directly to your users without waiting on app store approvals.
And NativePHP for Desktop support is also coming, so you'll also be able to build your Windows, Mac and Linux apps in Bifrost too. 💪🏼
Beyond that, we've got even more exciting features planned that will blow your Laravel socks off, including:
- Automated workflows
- Screenshot generation and app store listing preparation
- Automated testing
- One-click backend APIs
And so much more!
#Pricing
The launch signals the end of our Early Bird pricing. If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to jump in.
At launch, prices will be as follows:
- Loki: $19/month - One user, one app, 50 builds
- Hela: $49/month - One user, unlimited apps, 150 builds
- Thor: $99/month - Unlimited users, unlimited apps, 300 builds
Each plan now comes with even more included builds, with the option to top-up build credits as needed. (And yes, those included builds apply to our early bird customers too)
See the website for full pricing details.
#Thanks
It's kinda hard to express how excited we are about Bifrost 😬 We've poured everything into it over these past few months.
Shane and Eser especially have worked tireleslly and done an outstanding job. 👏
We know there will be rough edges, and there is still loads we want to do, but we've been using it to build and ship our apps for weeks and it's incredibly stable.
But more than what it can do and what we want to build, we're excited for what it can bring to NativePHP.
Bifrost is our ticket to making NativePHP for Mobile free for everyone as soon as we can.
It's also going to enable us to invest even more time in building NativePHP features—both for Desktop and Mobile!
We wouldn't have been able to get here without our incredible sponsors, partners, and all of the NativePHP Early Access Program subscribers. Your early—and continued!—support and patience has enabled us to bootstrap the build of this incredible platform and expand PHP's capabilities beyond what many of us ever thought was possible.
Thank you!
#Go get it!
Don't let those Early Bird prices fly away. We'll be grandfathering all early birds into these prices. So don't miss out, choose your plan and sign up today!
