What Median is
Median turns existing websites and web apps into native iOS and Android apps powered by the web experience. Its browser-based App Studio lets users build and preview apps, test them on simulators or physical devices, and publish to app stores. Native capabilities include push notifications, deep links, biometric login, QR scanning, app analytics, and app review prompts. The JavaScript Bridge lets websites call native functionality, with an NPM package for React, Vue.js, and other frameworks. Median says it works with website and web-app platforms including WordPress, Webflow, Microsoft .NET, SharePoint, Salesforce Lightning, and Bubble.io. Website changes appear in the app immediately, subject to the website server’s cache headers. Listed integrations include messaging, analytics, attribution, engagement, subscription, and advertising services. Median says it is SOC 2 Type II compliant, while app traffic goes directly between the device and the customer’s web server. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a watermark, one-minute simulator sessions, and a solo developer account.
