If you’re a freelance web developer or run a small agency, you’ve heard it at least once: "Can you also make an app for my website?" Historically, that question meant either declining the work or spinning up an entirely separate mobile development project. Astrivy, a new platform introduced on DEV.to by Vickylee, is designed to eliminate that friction by letting web developers generate native Android and iOS builds directly from an existing client website.

How Astrivy Works for Agencies

The core workflow is straightforward: you point Astrivy at your client’s live site and generate the app binaries. The platform supports Android APK and AAB files for Google Play, as well as iOS IPA files for the App Store. You can choose between Standard or Advanced app options and customize the app name, icon, branding, and supported features. All builds are managed through an Agent dashboard, which is built specifically for web developers, WordPress and WooCommerce shops, Laravel and PHP developers, freelancers, digital agencies, and IT companies. The business model is agency-friendly. Astrivy does not take a commission on what you charge your clients. You set your own selling price, and you retain full control over the relationship. After generating the required app files, you handle the actual publishing to Google Play, Apple App Store, or Huawei AppGallery yourself. This means the platform is purely a build generation tool, not a managed app service.

Launch Offer and Early Access

Astrivy is currently in its early Agent onboarding phase. The first 100 approved Agents receive their first-year Agent annual fee for free, plus 300 free Astrivy Points to test the platform before purchasing additional Points. After the first free year, a normal Agent annual renewal fee applies. The creator is explicitly looking for feedback from developers using the platform during this early stage, so this is a genuine beta access opportunity rather than a fully mature product.

Key Takeaways

  • Astrivy generates Android APK/AAB and iOS IPA files from existing client websites without requiring mobile development skills.
  • No commission is taken on client revenue; developers set their own pricing and handle app store publishing independently.
  • The first 100 approved Agents get a free first year plus 300 free Astrivy Points for testing.
  • The platform is in early access and the creator is actively seeking developer feedback on the workflow.
  • Supports Standard and Advanced app configurations with customizable branding, icons, and supported features.

The Bottom Line

For agencies that have been leaving mobile revenue on the table, Astrivy is worth a look. Just go in knowing it is early-stage and you will be testing the platform with your own clients. If you want to try it, visit Astrivy.app and choose Become an Agent.
