Discourse is an open-source discussion platform for forums and communities; it is hosted by Discourse or self-hosted with Docker and offers a responsive interface with logins, notifications and plugins. We wrap your published Discourse community into real App Store and Google Play apps – no coding, delivered within 72 hours, full source code included.
Forum owners know that engagement depends on members coming back, and a branded app with push notifications makes that easier than a browser bookmark. Discourse’s mobile interface is already excellent, so a WebView app wraps your live forum URL and preserves every category, plugin and theme component. Your community gets a listing in the App Store and Google Play under your own name.
Your app behaves like a full-screen browser for your Discourse community: every change you publish on Discourse is live in the app immediately – no app update required. Native features such as push notifications, an offline screen, native dialogs and smart link handling are added on top.
See all featuresA real app icon on iPhone and Android devices, installed from the App Store and Google Play.
Re-engage users with OneSignal push messages – or trigger local notifications from your own JavaScript.
Instead of browser errors, users see a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button.
AdMob banners and interstitials, in-app purchases and native sharing dialogs are supported.
Make sure your community is live on a public URL (ideally your own domain) and looks good on a phone screen – that URL is what we wrap.

We configure the WebViewGold template for your project, optimize it and deliver the full Xcode & Android Studio source code plus store-ready builds.
A few platform-specific tips from our App Specialists for the best result:
Built on WebViewGold. Every Discourse app we deliver is based on WebViewGold, the WebView app template for iOS & Android developed by our own team – battle-tested in the stores and continuously updated for the latest iOS and Android versions. Prefer to do it yourself? Get the template directly on webviewgold.com.
The same transparent pricing for every platform – Discourse included.
Prices are one-time fees in US dollars and exclude local taxes. 72-hour delivery, Monday to Friday, Terms and Conditions apply.
Yes. Email and password login uses regular sessions, so members stay signed in across app launches. DiscourseConnect and social logins can work too, but providers such as Google restrict their sign-in flow in embedded browsers, so we check your login methods during setup and advise accordingly.
The official DiscourseHub app is a shared app that lists many forums; it is not published under your name or icon. A WebView app is your own store listing with your branding, a custom icon and OneSignal push notifications that you control.
Yes. The app loads your live forum, so new plugins, theme components and settings are visible immediately. Upgrading Discourse does not require a new app build either, as long as the forum URL stays the same.
Converting one platform (iOS or Android) is a one-time fee of $698; the iOS + Android bundle costs $1,158 (you save $238). The optional App Publishing Service is $318 per platform. Payment is handled securely by Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Prices exclude VAT.
The complete Xcode project (iOS) and/or Android Studio project including signed APK/AAB files and keystore (Android), plus a step-by-step quick start guide for the App Store and Google Play submission. The apps are built on the WebViewGold template, so you keep the full, editable source code.
Store approval depends on the content of your app, and most WebView apps based on a responsive, app-like website pass review. If Apple or Google rejects your app for non-content reasons, we offer a full refund of the setup fee when you claim it within 14 days after purchase – see our Terms and Conditions.
