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.

Features
Full feature parity for OTA updates
Everything you use Capgo 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.
MCP & Agent Skills
Let Codex, Claude Code, and other coding agents work with OtaKit through MCP, guided by an open Agent Skill.
