Real-Time for Every Device
Build mobile and web apps that stay in sync, work offline, and deliver instant updates. MQTT's efficiency meets modern app development.
Online
Real-time sync via WebSocket
Offline
Messages queue, sync on reconnect
Works With Your Stack
Standard MQTT clients available for every platform and framework
Built for Mobile Realities
Handle the challenges of mobile: flaky networks, background states, and battery constraints
Offline-First
Messages queue locally when offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns. Your app never loses data.
Instant Sync
Push updates to all user devices in real-time. Changes propagate in under 100ms via persistent connections.
Push Notifications
Seamlessly fall back to push when the app is backgrounded. Users stay informed without keeping the app open.
Battery Efficient
MQTT's lightweight protocol uses minimal bandwidth and battery. Perfect for mobile where resources matter.
Secure Transport
TLS encryption on all connections. Token-based auth with short-lived credentials for mobile security best practices.
Auto-Reconnect
Handles network transitions gracefully. WiFi to cellular, tunnels, elevators. your app stays connected.
CloudSignal vs Alternatives
Why MQTT-based real-time beats other mobile solutions
- Vendor lock-in โ Proprietary APIs tied to one platform
- No offline queue โ Messages lost when device disconnects
- Battery intensive โ Constant polling or heavy protocols
- Limited QoS โ No guaranteed delivery options
- Complex pricing โ Per-message or per-connection charges add up
- No session persistence โ Lose subscriptions on reconnect
- Open protocol โ Standard MQTT works with any client library
- Built-in offline โ QoS 1 + persistent sessions = never lose messages
- Battery optimized โ Lightweight binary protocol, idle connections
- Guaranteed delivery โ Choose QoS 0, 1, or 2 per message
- Predictable pricing โ Simple connection-based plans, no surprises
- Session recovery โ Subscriptions persist across reconnects
Skip the App Store
Build PWAs with native app capabilities. No downloads, no approval process, instant updates.
Install from Browser
Users add your app to their home screen directly from the browser. No app store listing required.
Push Notifications
CloudSignal + PWA push keeps users engaged even when the browser is closed. Real app-like experience.
Works Offline
Service workers + MQTT offline queuing means your PWA works without internet, syncing when back online.
Instant Updates
Deploy changes immediately. No app review process, no waiting for users to update.
One Codebase
Same web app runs on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Responsive design, universal reach.
Native Features
Access camera, geolocation, storage, and more. Modern browsers expose powerful APIs.
Perfect combo: CloudSignal handles real-time messaging + push notifications, while your PWA provides the installable, offline-capable app experience.
What You Can Build
Chat & Messaging Apps
Real-time message delivery with read receipts, typing indicators, and offline message queuing.
Collaborative Apps
Keep multiple users in sync. Documents, whiteboards, or shared stateโeveryone sees changes instantly.
Social & Activity Feeds
Push new content to users as it happens. No more pull-to-refresh, no stale feeds.
Location & Logistics
Track deliveries, share locations, and coordinate field teams with real-time position updates.
Simple Mobile Integration
Use standard MQTT clients with offline-aware configuration. Messages queue when offline and deliver when back online.
- QoS 1 for guaranteed delivery
- Clean session = false for message persistence
- Auto-reconnect handles network changes
- Works with React Native, Flutter, native iOS/Android
import mqtt from 'mqtt'
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage'
// Connect with offline-aware configuration
const client = mqtt.connect('wss://mqtt.cloudsignal.app', {
username: await AsyncStorage.getItem('deviceId'),
password: await AsyncStorage.getItem('token'),
clean: false, // Enable session persistence
clientId: `mobile-${deviceId}`,
reconnectPeriod: 1000,
})
// Subscribe with QoS 1 for guaranteed delivery
client.subscribe('user/notifications', { qos: 1 })
client.subscribe('chat/room-123', { qos: 1 })
// Messages received even after reconnecting
client.on('message', (topic, message) => {
const data = JSON.parse(message.toString())
if (topic.includes('notifications')) {
showLocalNotification(data)
} else if (topic.includes('chat')) {
addMessageToUI(data)
}
})
// Publish with offline queuing
function sendMessage(roomId, text) {
client.publish(`chat/${roomId}`, JSON.stringify({
text,
sender: userId,
timestamp: Date.now()
}), { qos: 1 }) // Will queue if offline
