Our story

From a plugin idea
to thousands of native apps.

Bravo was started in Barcelona in 2019 to put native app development in designers' hands. Six years later, 200,000+ Bravistas have shipped real mobile apps without writing native code.

What we believe

Three principles
since day one.

01

Design is the source of truth

Your Figma file is the spec. Bravo doesn't translate — it interprets.

02

Native by default

Bravo apps ship as real iOS and Android binaries, not web wrappers.

03

No backend lock-in

Plain REST. Bring your stack. Swap it tomorrow.

Six years.
One signal path.
