Get access
From Polar checkout to a cloned repo - the customer portal, connecting GitHub, the invite, and what each tier contains.
Hey - here's what happens between paying and having the code. By the end you'll have your
private repo cloned and know exactly what your tier gives you. On the Free tier there's nothing
to buy: clone ready-native-free and go to
Quickstart.
1. Check out on Polar
Polar is the merchant of record: it takes the payment, charges the VAT or sales tax your country needs, and emails the receipt and invoice. Buying for a company? Add the company name and VAT number at checkout.
2. Connect GitHub in the Polar portal
Repository access is a GitHub benefit on your Polar order. Right after checkout, the thanks page has a Connect GitHub to get the repo button that opens Polar's customer portal for your order. Missed it? The receipt email from Polar links to the same portal.
In the portal, connect the GitHub account that should get the repo. Each license gives one GitHub account access; on Pro, you share the code with the developers your license covers.
3. Accept the invite
GitHub emails an invitation to the address on that GitHub account, and it also waits at github.com/notifications. Accept it and you're a read-only collaborator on your tier's private repo.
The invitation expires after 7 days. If it lapses, or you connected the wrong GitHub account, pick "Paid, no repo access" on the support form and leave the email you paid with - I'll sort it out.
4. Clone it
The repo is private, so git needs your GitHub credentials. Swap pro for starter if that's
what you bought:
git clone https://github.com/ReadyNative/ready-native-pro.git my-app
cd my-appgh repo clone ReadyNative/ready-native-pro my-app does the same through the GitHub CLI. The clone is
yours to push anywhere: add your own remote and keep going.
What's in each tier
Here's how the three tiers compare. In a Starter or Pro tree, .readynative-tier.json at the
root records the tier and the version you got.
| Tier | Repo | Who may use it | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ReadyNative/ready-native-free (public) | Anyone (MIT) | The finished app with one stack already chosen: NativeWind 4, TanStack Query and Zustand, with tabs, settings and dark mode. No setup, doctor or gen:* scripts, no EAS or CI config, no agent files. Runs in Expo Go |
| Starter | ReadyNative/ready-native-starter (invite) | One named individual | The picker: bun run setup chooses between every UI, data, state, storage, forms, i18n, onboarding, consent and testing option, with the minimal and default presets. Plus doctor, the gen:* generators, eas.json, Maestro flows and the agent files. No service modules |
| Pro | ReadyNative/ready-native-pro (invite) | Up to 5 developers (employees or contractors) in one company | Everything in Starter, plus every service module (auth, payments, analytics, crash reporting, push, backend), the saas preset, the two example apps in examples/, the store-review agent skill and bun run doctor --store |
Every paid license is perpetual with lifetime updates, and there are no refunds once you have access, except where the law requires otherwise. The terms are in License.
