NativePHP for Mobile: Now Free and Open Source š
Published on February 11, 2026 by Simon Hamp
Thanks to all of your support, we have been able to make NativePHP for Mobile v3 completely free and open source (MIT licensed). We're calling it NativePHP Air.
Additionally, v3 supports Plugins enabling you to write your own custom native functionality that can be accessed easily from your Laravel code. Plugins are just Composer packages, so they're easy to install and can be distributed via Packagist or any other mechanism that Composer supports.
We introduced the Plugin Marketplace where you can find free and premium plugins and soon list your own plugins too! Earn money by building and selling plugins.
Your generous support has enabled us to build a number of other amazing tools to make building and testing your apps even easier too:
Jump is a native app for iOS and Android that lets you test your NativePHP Air apps directly on your device straight from your development machine just with Laravel. Completely wirelessly and without needing Xcode, Android Studio or to pay any app store fees. Jump is completely free to use.
Mimi is your NativePHP app building assistant. Skip all of the setup. Focus on the product. Mimi is ready to start building your app in seconds. Within a few minutes you can easily test your app on your phone with Jump. Mimi is free to get started but requires a Bifrost subscription to unlock all features.
Thank you all for supporting this incredible project, but especially thanks to amazing Sponsors and Partners:
