Let's get your app on the App Store, shall we?
I'll walk you through every single step.
Paste your website, pick your branding, and we'll turn it into a real native iOS app — no Swift, no Mac, no code. I'll be right here for every step after.
Quick heads-up: publishing needs an Apple Developer account ($99/year), paid straight to Apple — and yes, we'll walk you through it.
Before you dive in, a 90-second walkthrough
What to expect, what we ask for, and why — straight from the founder.
No Mac, no Xcode
Builds run on Expo's cloud Mac. Works the same from Windows.
Updates instantly
Your app loads your live site — change the site, the app updates.
You own it
Published under your own Apple account. The app is yours, end to end.
From link to live in three steps
You bring the website. We handle the native part.
Paste your URL
Point us at your live web app, then pick a name, icon, and colors.
We generate the project
A ready-to-build Expo iOS project, with your icon and splash pre-rendered.
Ship to the App Store
Build in the cloud with EAS and submit to TestFlight — no Mac or Xcode.
No surprises, no lock-in
Publishing an app means trusting us with a few things. Here's exactly what we ask for and why — and what we never touch.
The $99 goes to Apple — not us
Apple charges every developer $99/year to publish to the App Store. You pay Apple directly, we never touch it, and there's no markup.
Why we ask for an Apple key
Apple requires every app to be signed with your developer identity before it can run on an iPhone. The key you generate lets us build, sign, and upload on your behalf — that's all it's used for.
We never see your Apple password
You connect with an App Store Connect API key you create yourself and can revoke in Apple's console at any time. We can't sign in to your account — and the key is stored encrypted on our server.
You own the app, end to end
Everything is published under your own Apple account. The app, the listing, and your users are yours. Disconnect whenever you like and it all stays with you.
Questions, answered straight
The things people ask before they start. If yours isn't here, you'll find us friendly.
Do I need a Mac, Xcode, or any coding knowledge?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and the builds run on Expo's cloud Macs — so it works exactly the same on Windows. You never touch Swift, Xcode, or the command line.
What does it actually cost?
Paludis is a one-time $49.99 per app — no subscription. The only other cost is Apple's $99/year Developer fee, which you pay directly to Apple. That's everything: no markups, no surprise charges.
Is this a real native app, or just my website in a wrapper?
It's a real native iOS app, generated with Expo and built through Apple's own toolchain. It installs from the App Store, gets its own icon and splash screen, and runs full-screen with no browser bars.
Will Apple actually approve it?
We build a genuine native app and walk you through the listing details Apple looks for, so it goes into review in good shape. Apple makes the final call on every app — but we're with you through submission, and if anything comes back we help you understand it and resubmit.
What happens when I update my website?
Your app loads your live site, so most content and design changes show up in the app automatically — no rebuild and no resubmission. You'd only need a fresh build for things like a new name, icon, or native setting.
Is my Apple account safe? Do you get my password?
We never see your Apple password and can't sign in to your account. You connect with an App Store Connect API key you create yourself and can revoke in Apple's console anytime. We store it encrypted and use it only to build, sign, and upload your apps.
What if I want to leave — do I keep my app?
Yes. Every app is published under your own Apple Developer account, so it's yours end to end: the app, the listing, and your users. Disconnect Paludis whenever you like and it all stays with you.
How long does the whole thing take?
Once your Apple account is enrolled (Apple's approval takes about 24–48 hours), generating an app and shipping it to TestFlight is about ten minutes of hands-on time. We handle the build and upload in the background.
