Web & Mobile Apps

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

App backgrounded? Push notifications keep users informed

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

Firebase / Pusher / Custom WS
  • 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
CloudSignal (MQTT)
  • 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
Progressive Web Apps

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.

Instant deliveryOffline queueGroup chats

Collaborative Apps

Keep multiple users in sync. Documents, whiteboards, or shared stateโ€”everyone sees changes instantly.

Live cursorsConflict resolutionPresence

Social & Activity Feeds

Push new content to users as it happens. No more pull-to-refresh, no stale feeds.

Live updatesNotificationsEngagement

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
MqttService.js
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
}
