with Angular
with Angular
Write Angular components. Ship real iOS and Android UI, drawn by Lynx. No WebView, no Swift, no Kotlin.
The Angular you already know
Standalone components, signals, dependency injection, the router, forms and @defer. Generate components with ng generate, test with ng test, and build with ng build.
Real native UI, drawn by Lynx
Lynx is ByteDance's open-source engine, used in TikTok. It turns your templates into the phone's own UI controls, styled with CSS, so your app scrolls and feels like any other app.
From ng serve to the App Store
Preview in the browser and on your phone as you code. ng build --platform ios or android builds apps ready for the stores, with no Xcode or Gradle project to maintain.
Everything an app needs
UI components you copy into your project, Tailwind CSS, gestures, animations, a testing library and internationalization.
