Our story

From a side project to a platform

Capawesome started the way a lot of good open-source does: scratching our own itch, in public.

It's 2021. Capacitor is still young, the plugin ecosystem is thin, and we keep running into the same gaps while building mobile apps for clients. So we start writing the plugins we wish existed and publishing them as open source. A few turn into favorites. They end up in the official Capacitor Community organization on GitHub — where we're still members and still shipping today.

A year later, Robin Genz founds Capawesome to give those plugins a proper home and make them easier for other developers to find, use, and trust. What started as a handful of repos has grown into the Capawesome Platform — but the posture hasn't changed: bootstrapped, engineering-led, and built alongside the community it came from.

Our mission

Give every mobile team the platform and SDKs we wished we had when we started.

Building for mobile is hard enough. The tooling shouldn't be.

  • For every team size. From indie developers to enterprise teams, at fair, transparent prices that don't punish you for growing.

  • Across every stack. Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, and native iOS and Android — one platform, no stack lock-in.

  • Without walls. Open-source plugins, a fully documented CLI, and a published REST API. Your code and your data stay yours.

The people you talk to in Discord are the same people who merge the pull requests.

Our philosophy

Mobile tooling, built the way we wish ours was built.

We're software engineers by heart, and we still love the web. That shows up in the way we build.

  • We come from the web. Our roots are in open-source Capacitor and Ionic — hybrid, web-first frameworks we genuinely love. Mobile deserves the same care, speed, and openness the web gets.

  • We still write the code. The people you talk to in Discord are the same people who merge the pull requests. We haven't outsourced engineering — and we don't plan to.

  • We use what we ship. Every Capawesome feature runs our own team's work first. If it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough to ship to you.

Our values

Three things we won't compromise on

A short list, so we actually live by it.

Independent by design

We're bootstrapped, with no investors and no plan to sell. Every roadmap decision answers to our customers and the community — not to a board or an exit.

Quality we can feel

We use our own platform every day. No vibe-coded shortcuts, no untested AI patches shipped to production. Security, stability, and real tests come before new features.

Feedback is the roadmap

Every message in Discord, every GitHub issue, and every email lands with someone who can actually fix it. We ship, listen, and improve again the next day.

Recognition

Recognized where it matters

Backed by the Capacitor and Ionic communities we've been part of from day one.
