A free native iOS and Android app for your XenForo forum.
Forum Copilot is a native mobile app built for XenForo. Install this add-on and your members can use your forum in the Forum Copilot app on the App Store and Google Play: topics, reactions, polls, attachments, direct messages, alerts and push notifications, in your forum's own colours and logo. The app, the add-on and the hosted push service are all free.
Want your own branded app? The whole app is open source under the MIT license. Fork it on GitHub, point it at your forum and publish it under your own name. Or we can build it for you.
What your members get
Sign-in and sign-up on your own website
Members sign in and sign up on your forum's own pages, opened in the phone's secure browser sheet (Safari or Chrome). Whatever you have set up works exactly as on your website: Google and Facebook, passkeys, two-step verification, your captcha, registration fields and terms. The app never sees a password or a two-step code. New members tap Continue in the app after signing up and are signed in straight away. Members who prefer a password can still use it in the app, with two-step verification and "Trust this device".
