As we enter the final week of Early Access pricing for NativePHP, we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come — and what’s still ahead.
To every developer who believed in this mission from the beginning: thank you. Your support gave us the space to build something bold — a way for Laravel and PHP developers to build real mobile apps, with the tools they already know and love.
About a month ago, we crossed a huge milestone: over $100,000 in revenue from Early Access sales. That’s not just a number — it’s proof that this community believes in the future we’re building together.
And just days ago, we hit another milestone: 1,000 licenses sold!
You showed up. And because you did, we’ve been able to bootstrap the next chapter of NativePHP with real momentum.
What Early Access Made Possible
Your early support helped us fund critical development across features that were previously just a dream. Here’s where your Early Access money is going.
- ✅ Android — Now you can build for two devices with one codebase! Simon Hamp began EAP in February with iOS while Shane Rosenthal began working on Android—which officially launched May 2, 2025, with v1.
- ✅ A bunch of API's — Check out our list of native functions you can start using today and more coming soon on our roadmap
- ✅ Hot Reload — See changes in your Laravel code reflected live on your device, without a rebuild.
- ✅ OTA Updates — Push HTML/CSS/JS updates to your app over the air, no App Store resubmission required (coming soon).
- ✅ Zephpyr — This is the code name for our build service that is already in production for our desktop side of things. We are already working to get this ready to help you with building, distribution, push services, advertisements, analytics, offline-first syncing—the sky is the limit!
These are big investments — and they’re only possible because of you. We’re shipping fast, building in public, and shaping the future of mobile development for PHP devs — with you.
The Last Week to Get In Early
When Early Access ends, pricing goes up, if you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is the week to jump in. Early adopters get locked in pricing to everything we’re building today — and what’s coming next. You’ll also have a front-row seat as we work together to make NativePHP the most productive, most joyful, and most PHP-native way to build mobile apps.
To our existing users: thank you again. You helped take NativePHP from a wild idea to a product used around the world. This is your success too.
And to those about to join us: welcome. Let’s build the future — in PHP.
