Implement Truly Native Functionality using Despia

Our Despia Runtime SDKs provides a simple, powerful way to access native device capabilities directly from your web codebase or platform. With a single line of JavaScript, unlock features reserved for native applications.

The Despia SDK doesn't require any npm JavaScript libraries or dependencies to be installed on your web codebase. Our SDK is directly included in the native Swift or Java/Kotlin code that Despia compiles.

  2. Smart Widgets + Widget Engine

  3. Health Kit + Google Health

  4. “One Click Cancel” for CA Compliance

How It Works

Simple Integration

Despia works through a streamlined protocol handler system. Each SDK feature is accessed through the global window.despia object using a specific protocol format:

window.despia = "feature://parameters"

This elegantly simple approach means:

  • No complex libraries to import

  • No dependency management

  • No version conflicts

  • Works across frameworks and platforms

Behind the Scenes

When you call a Despia SDK feature, our system:

  1. Intercepts the protocol call

  2. Securely routes it to the appropriate native functionality

  3. Handles permissions and system interactions

  4. Returns results when applicable

All the complex native code integration is handled for you, invisible to your development process.

Why You Need Despia

Problem: The Native Gap

Web applications struggle to access device-level features that native apps take for granted:

  • Background processes

  • Hardware access

  • System integration

  • Persistent capabilities

This creates a capability gap between what users expect and what web apps can deliver.

Solution: Instant Native Powers

Despia closes this gap without the complexity:

  • Simplified Access: One line of code unlocks native features

  • Cross-Platform: Works on iOS and Android, while keeping your web app fully functional without any conflicts

  • No-Code Compatible: Integrates with platforms like WeWeb, Wized, and Nordcraft

  • Future-Proof: As we update our SDKs, your implementation stays the same

Development Acceleration

  • Reduced Development Time: Eliminate weeks of native development

  • Simplified Maintenance: No need to update separate native codebases

  • Consistent Experience: Deliver the same powerful features across all platforms

  • Focus on Your Product: Build your unique value while we handle device integration
