NativePHP is a free and open-source PHP library for building cross-platform "native" applications using web technologies. It was created by Simon Hamp and Marcel Pociot and primarily supports the use of the Laravel web framework as a way to write the back end logic and HTML-rendering, that is then distributed inside an Electron or Tauri browser environment.
The source code is hosted on GitHub licensed under the terms of an MIT License.[2]
History
NativePHP started as an idea,[3] to see if a statically-compiled version of the PHP runtime executable could be used to run a Laravel application.
Once the first working prototype was available,[4] Marcel and Simon joined forces and NativePHP was revealed publicly at Laracon US 2023 in Nashville.[1]
As of October 2024, NativePHP is in alpha.[5]
