Every week since Supanator launched, I've gotten the same question: "When is the Android version coming?"
Today I can finally say: we're building it. For real.
Why it took this long
Supanator started as a native iOS app. Not a cross-platform wrapper, not a React Native project — pure Swift, built specifically for iPhone. That decision is what makes it fast, smooth, and feel like it belongs on your phone.
But it also means I couldn't just flip a switch and ship an Android version. I had to make a choice: build a native Android app from scratch with Kotlin, or find a cross-platform approach that doesn't sacrifice what makes Supanator good.
I chose to go native. Kotlin Multiplatform lets me share the core logic — networking, data models, API layer — while building truly native UIs for each platform. No compromise on performance. No compromise on feel. It's more work, but it's the right call.
What to expect
The Android version will have full feature parity with iOS:
- SQL Editor — run queries with syntax highlighting and instant results
- Table Editor — browse, filter, edit, and delete rows
- Storage — upload files, preview images, manage buckets
- Edge Functions — invoke, monitor, and read logs
- Auth management — view users, sessions, and providers
Same security model too. Your credentials stay on your device. Every API call goes directly to Supabase. No middleman. No servers. No exceptions.
The timeline
I'm not going to give you a fake date. Here's what I can tell you:
- Core networking and API layer is already shared and working
- The Kotlin/Compose UI is in active development
- Closed beta will come first — small group, raw builds, fast feedback
- Public beta on Google Play will follow
I'd rather ship something solid than rush something broken. But this is my top priority right now.
Get early access
If you want to be one of the first to try Supanator on Android, sign up for the beta on the homepage. I'll send you one email when the beta is ready. No spam, no newsletter, no "updates" — just one notification when you can download it.
To the Android devs who've been waiting
I hear you. I know it's been frustrating watching the iOS version get all the love. The wait is almost over.
Your Supabase projects deserve a native experience too. We're building it.
