Create a WebView App

Already have a website and just want it inside an app shell, fast? A WebView app shows your website inside a mobile app. It's the quickest way to get something on a phone.

Is this you?​

  • You want your whole website to work inside an app, as-is.
  • You don't need custom app screens, only your website's own pages.
  • You want the fastest possible way to get an app.
  • WebView apps don't need a plugin or API key — FluxBuilder simply shows your website's own pages inside the app.
