A secure client-side runtime that takes
the Web beyond the Browser and the Cloud.
Browser Compatible
It's compatible with the Web. All the code you've already written for the browser will "just work" in Socket.
Server Compatible
It implements most Node.js APIs so it can run local servers anywhere. Providing an instantly familar development model.
Familiar
You don't need to learn any new langauges or development models. Use your existing code and ship your product faster.
Faster
It used to be true that native apps were faster. But Socket apps are GPU accellerated so they can run just as fast and smooth as native apps.
Lighter
Uses the Operating System's WebView component, so it doesn't need to ship an entire copy of a browser with each app.
Batteries Included
You get access to all the native APIs you'd expect, like Camera, Filesystem, etc. Native extensions are supported for any langauge.
New Capabilities
Real-time & async P2P networking connect unlimited users anywhere — no servers or cloud services required.
Secure
Native features are hardened by build-time entitlements, user consent, and a fine-graned CSPs. Socket creates a true barrier between a developer's code and the user's OS.
Consistent
It works the same way on every OS, desktop and mobile. Service Workers, Web Workers, WHATWG Fetch, etc.
Prototype Faster
Union App Studio is a playground app, like codepen — but for native apps.
It helps you develop, run and build apps, making it easier to test and share code.
