Features

Full feature parity for OTA updates

Everything you use Capawesome Live Update for, on every plan.

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.

Team & API keys

Invite members, assign roles, and manage scoped API keys per organization.

Open source

Fully open-source core. Self-host on your own infrastructure or use our managed service.
