How it works<br>Native is a behavior, not a coat of paint.<br>Nextcloud Native reads verified capabilities and versioned contracts, understands the work they represent, and chooses a useful native interface. It never invents an endpoint or passes an embedded website off as an app.<br>Read the architecture<br>Server<br>Ask what is actually available<br>The app discovers the exact features, versions, permissions, and installed apps your Nextcloud makes available.
Contract<br>Check before doing anything<br>Verified contracts turn files, dates, people, messages, rows, media, relationships, and actions into typed concepts.
