Nativeblade

The fastest way to run Laravel apps on your iPhone. Nativeblade is a runtime that loads Laravel projects directly on your device. Paste a link, scan a QR code, and your Blade + Livewire app starts in seconds. No App Store submission, no build process, no waiting. WHAT IT DOES Nativeblade Portal is a host app for Laravel developers. Instead of compiling, signing, and submitting every project to the App Store, you point the Portal at your project URL and it runs as a native iOS app. Each loaded project gets its own isolated SQLite database, sessions, and storage, just like a real Laravel install. WHO IT IS FOR Built for developers who already work with Laravel, Blade, and Livewire and want a native mobile target without learning Swift, Kotlin, or React Native. If you have a Laravel app, you have a mobile app. KEY FEATURES . Load any Laravel project by link or QR code . Full Blade and Livewire support (server side rendered, no JavaScript framework needed) . Local SQLite per project, fully isolated . Optional remote MySQL or PostgreSQL via secure bridge . File picker, camera, photo library, biometric, NFC, push notifications, location, and more, all available to your Laravel code . Works offline once a project is cached . Over the air updates: ship Blade changes without resubmitting to the App Store . Native iOS UI shell with proper status bar, safe areas, and gestures PRIVACY Nativeblade Portal does not collect personal data. Permissions like camera, location, microphone, and photo library are requested only when a loaded project actively uses them, and only for that project's runtime. Each loaded app runs in its own sandbox. WHO BUILDS WITH NATIVEBLADE Indie developers shipping side projects, agencies prototyping client apps before committing to a full native build, and teams running internal tools that do not need to live in the App Store. If your stack is Laravel, this is the shortest path to mobile. GETTING STARTED Install the Portal, open it, and either scan a QR code from a published Nativeblade project or paste the project URL. The first load downloads the bundle, subsequent opens are instant.
