# CapWrapp
> CapWrapp turns a web app on GitHub into iPhone and Android apps, ships builds to TestFlight and Google Play, and sends them to App Review from one dashboard. No Xcode or Mac required.
CapWrapp is a control desk for shipping a phone app from a web app. Connect a GitHub repo (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Vite, or any site you already have). If it is still a website, CapWrapp adds Capacitor. You pick a commit in the dashboard; CapWrapp starts GitHub Actions that upload test builds to Apple and Google. From the Releases page, you send a tested build to App Review or promote it to production on Google Play.
Anyone can start a 14-day free trial at https://capwr.app/login (Google or GitHub sign-in, no credit card). Plans are priced by active apps, not seats: Founder $29/month (up to 3 apps), Pro $99/month (10), Agency $249/month (50), cheaper billed yearly; see https://capwr.app/#pricing. This site is English-only for now.
