What is nati.ve?
nati.ve is an adaptive native client for Nextcloud that runs on Android, Linux, Windows, and macOS. It provides a unified interface for files, photos, Talk conversations, calendar, notes, and other Nextcloud apps without embedding web views. The app uses Nextcloud Login Flow v2 for authentication, storing credentials in platform secure storage (Android Keystore, Linux Secret Service, Windows Credential Manager). All current builds are alpha prereleases below version 1.0.0. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later and developed by Obiente.
