About Capacitor
A cross-platform native runtime for web apps. Capacitor is an open-source native runtime for building web native apps. Create cross-platform iOS, Android, and progressive web apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Drop Capacitor into any existing web app. Install the native platforms you want to target. Capacitor’s native plugin APIs make it extremely easy to access and invoke common device functionality across multiple platforms. Ship cross-platform mobile apps 10X faster. We wrote a free guide on when and why to use Capacitor to build cross-platform apps. Access the full Native SDKs on each platform, and easily deploy to the app stores (and the web). Add custom native functionality with a simple Plugin API, or use existing Cordova plugins with our compatibility layer. Capture images, save photos, and configure hardware parameters like saturation and color balance. Save and read documents, assets, and other content your users need to access via native file systems.

Ionic
The Ionic Platform allows you to bring your apps to market faster with an integrated app platform built on the leading cross-platform mobile SDK. Build, secure, and deliver new mobile apps—and transform existing ones—across iOS, Android, and Web platforms from a single codebase. Full scalability—Grow from prototype to production to enterprise-scale, without having to think about capacity, reliability, or performance. Better apps, everywhere—Slash your development time and costs with a platform that lets you write once and deploy anywhere—iOS, Android, and Web. The core of the Ionic development experience is Ionic Capacitor, a cross platform native runtime that runs equally well on native iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as any web browser. The big difference is that, unlike traditional native development or cross-platform approaches, the UI of a Capacitor app runs primarily in the browser.
