A native app powered by Payload as a headless CMS
Backends and admin panels are hard, and you've built them many times before. Let Payload do that stuff so you can focus on your app.
Almost any native app needs to have a powerful back-office to manage users, orders, media, and more. If you've ever built a native app like this, you know how tiring it gets to have to build a web-based admin UI in addition to the native app itself. With Payload, you can focus only on what matters—your app.
Don’t build an admin panel to manage your app from scratch.
Let Payload do it for you. Its UI was built to power any type of app—from simple to complex, and the best part is that it's fully extensible.
