Capawesome for Solo Developers

Mobile CI/CD for a team of one

One platform for the price of two coffees a month. No Mac, no duct-taped tools, no DevOps to learn before shipping.

More than 1,000 teams build with Capawesome

Why Capawesome for Solo Developers

Ship like a mobile team — without being one

Everything a solo developer needs to get an app into the stores and keep it there — on pricing, hardware, and tooling designed for people who wear every hat at once.

Affordable, predictable

Plans from $9/month with flat, predictable pricing. No per-minute metering, no hidden enterprise tiers, no surprise bill the week your app takes off.

No Mac required

Build iOS apps from Windows, Linux, or a Chromebook. Cloud M4 Pro hardware handles signing, provisioning, and IPA generation for you.

All-in-one platform

Builds, Live Updates, and store submissions in one tool. No Fastlane, no CodePush alternative, no custom scripts to maintain on the side.

No Mac required

Build iOS apps from Windows, Linux, or a Chromebook

You don't need a MacBook to ship iOS apps. Capawesome builds iOS in the cloud on Apple Silicon M4 Pro — code signing, provisioning, and IPA generation included — so any laptop ships to the App Store.

Cloud M4 Pro iOS builds — no Mac, no Xcode, no local provisioning

Automated code signing — upload your certificate once, rebuild forever

Works from Windows, Linux, or Chromebook — any OS, any laptop

Direct TestFlight and App Store submissions — no manual upload step

Customer Stories

What solo developers say

From weekend side projects to full-time indie studios — solo builders ship faster and sleep better on Capawesome Cloud.

Capawesome felt like it was designed with software engineers in mind. The documentation is excellent, the native library is robust, and the integration was minimally invasive and easy to keep well-factored and self-contained. We compared it directly with competitors, and Capawesome came out ahead on every point.

Evan Hanson CTO at Otto

Capawesome's live updates have been a game changer for our mobile recipe app at King Arthur Baking. We can quickly deliver improvements without app store delays, saving time and resources while keeping the experience fresh for our baking community.

Jordan Kilby
Jordan Kilby Digital Marketing Leader at King Arthur Baking

We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys.

We switched from Capgo to Capawesome Cloud a few months ago and so far we haven't looked back. With Capawesome Cloud, we have significantly less downtime, updates are delivered faster, and support is literally the best we have ever experienced. The integration was straightforward, and the documentation is clear and concise. Big thanks to the Capawesome team for creating such an awesome platform!

We've been using Capawesome Cloud for CI/CD across our Capacitor apps and couldn't be happier. Migrating from Appflow was a breeze — we were up and running in no time, with way less friction than anticipated. The setup was straightforward and the workflow has been rock solid ever since. But what really sets Capawesome apart is the support. The team is incredibly responsive and genuinely helpful. It's great to get that level of personal attention from a SaaS tool. Highly recommend it to any Capacitor team looking to simplify their deployment pipeline.

Dan Ziv

Capawesome Cloud has been a game-changer for our team. We can now deploy updates to our Capacitor app without pushing to the app stores. This has saved us countless hours and allowed us to iterate faster. It's a must-have for any modern app development team.

Hugo Corta

Our Capacitor app had several unique requirements for running operations in the background. The Capawesome team was able to quickly understand our needs and crafted a customized Capacitor plugin that exceeded our expectations.

Christofer Huber
Christofer Huber CTO at WEBPUNKS GmbH

We tested and verified several solutions on the market to help us deliver OTA updates for our Apps quickly, securely and, most importantly, that were capable of scaling as we grew and demanded. Capawesome Cloud was our choice! The integration is super simple, we have automatic rollback and code signing to ensure the security of updates. The costs are transparent and honest, we are very happy with the platform and looking forward to integrating our future Apps!

Patrick A. Lima
Patrick A. Lima CEO at Nuinalp

Capawesome Cloud has helped us reduce our live update costs by more than 90% while offering more features than our previous provider. The integration took us less than a day and the support is top-notch. We now deliver daily live updates to more than 200,000 devices without any issues.

Michael Wolz
Michael Wolz Head of Development at snapADDY GmbH

We had to use an Android and iOS SDK in our Capacitor app, for which no plugin existed. Capawesome was able to create a fully functional Capacitor plugin for us within a few days. The communication was excellent and the plugin works perfectly.
