Back at the beginning of 2025, we announced Zephpyr, something we'd worked hard to build for desktop NativePHP apps.
But after the enormous success of NativePHP for Mobile, it was clear we needed to shift our focus. We didn't want to build yet another tool just for mobile apps.
If Zephpyr was the caterpillar, Bifrost is the butterfly.
More importantly, a paid service that could add real value for some NativePHP users, feels better than charging all NativePHP users for licenses.
Our goal is sustainability — make just enough to pay the bills so we can keep on supporting NativePHP for a very long time.
Thanks to the NativePHP EAP, we've been able to invest a ton of time into Bifrost over the past few months and we're almost ready to open the gate for you.
Thank you for supporting this dream in one way or another 🙏 It's now becoming a reality.
We're planning a full release of Bifrost some time in August. Until then, we have Early Bird pricing which you can lock in before we launch — prices that will never change.
And for every subscriber to Bifrost — on any plan — you'll get a NativePHP for Mobile Mini License for FREE, so you can start building an app in time for Bifrost's full launch in a few weeks.
And when we reach our sustainability goal, we will make NativePHP for Mobile free for everyone.
We really can't express how excited we are and how much your support means. If you're at Laracon next week we'd love to show you, so if you see us, please come and say hi.
