Ship app updates instantly
Push over-the-air (OTA) updates directly to your Capacitor app without app store reviews.
How it works
Over-The-Air updates for Capacitor
Simple setup and fast release flow with the OtaKit CLI.
Install
Add the OtaKit plugin to your Capacitor app and publish once to the stores.
$ npm install @otakit/capacitor-updaterUpload
Make changes, build your app, and upload the new web bundle to OtaKit.
$ otakit uploadGo live
Devices with your app installed pick up the update silently in the background.
$ otakit releaseGlobal delivery

Releases are served from Cloudflare’s network in 300+ cities. Every device downloads from a location close by, never from a single origin server.

Features
Everything you need for live updates
A complete OTA platform for Capacitor teams of any size.
Instant delivery
Updates land on devices in seconds — no store review. Force-immediate releases apply on the very next check.
Delta updates
Devices download only the files that changed between releases. Asset-heavy apps update in kilobytes, not megabytes.
Safe rollouts
Broken updates roll back automatically, and the CLI catches native-compatibility mistakes before a release ever ships.
Channel-based releases
Release to production, beta, or custom channels — switchable at runtime. Roll back any channel instantly.
Custom update experience
Silent and automatic out of the box — or hook into update events to ask before downloading and prompt to restart.
Secure by default
Signed manifests, SHA-256 verification, HTTPS everywhere — and optional end-to-end encryption for your code.
App Store compliant
OTA updates for web layers only — fully compliant with Apple and Google guidelines for Capacitor apps.
MCP & Agent Skills
Ask Claude Code or Codex to ship an update. It checks compatibility, uploads, and stops for your approval before anything reaches a device.
Open source
Fully open source. Self-host on your own infrastructure or use our managed service.
