Unify was built to improve the development efficiency of apps for smartphones. Currently it supports smartphones based on the platforms iOS, Android and WebOS. There is support for deskop operating systems like Windows or Mac OS as well. Support for tablet devices is planned for the next year.

The software makes use of a whole range of modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. A typical end user should not be able to distinguish an application built with Unify from a natively programmed application. Unify bypasses the traditional limitations of the web browser. Detecting the current geo location, accessing the file system, etc. is easy to implement.
