About this plugin
PressNative Apps connects your WordPress site to PressNative Cloud, a service that renders your posts, pages and WooCommerce products as real native screens (SwiftUI on iOS, Jetpack Compose on Android), not a WebView wrapper. Layout, branding and content come from your WordPress admin, so changes appear in the app without an app store update.
This plugin is a connector for that service. It needs a free PressNative Cloud connection, which you create from Settings → PressNative with one click. No separate sign-up is required.
Free
- PressNative Hub listing. Opt in and your site appears in the free PressNative Hub app (iOS and Android), where readers discover sites, follow them and read them natively.
- Automatic new-post notifications. When you publish a post, page or product, readers who follow your site in the Hub get a push notification. Per-post control lives in the editor sidebar.
- App branding and layout. App name, logo, colors and typography; hero carousel, post grid, category and page lists, product grids; drag-and-drop ordering and a live preview.
- WooCommerce. Native product grids and details, cart and checkout handoff, products embedded in posts.
- REST API. Layout endpoints for home, posts, pages, categories, products and search.
Paid plans (optional)
- Your own branded app in the App Store and Google Play.
- Custom push notifications sent from wp-admin, with audience targeting.
- Analytics dashboard with views, top content, searches and push performance.
Paid features are provided by PressNative Cloud. The plugin never locks its own functionality.
