About NextNative
NextNative lets web developers ship iOS and Android apps with the Next.js skills they already have, as an alternative to React Native. It combines Next.js, Capacitor for native functionality, Tailwind for styling and RevenueCat for one-time payments and subscriptions, in a single codebase with API routes.
The kit includes seven production-ready app templates and handles chores that normally slow down mobile launches, such as Google and Apple sign-in, payment integration, deep linking, push notifications, analytics and App Store and Play Store setup. Getting started is a clone, install and run sequence with a mobile dev command. It is offered as a one-time purchase of $79 for lifetime access and unlimited apps, with a 14-day refund guarantee, plus docs, a showcase and an FAQ.
