## What it is
Shorebird is an open-source toolset providing Code Push for Flutter, enabling over-the-air code updates to Flutter apps without waiting for app store review. The monorepo contains the shorebird CLI, Dart client libraries, and supporting services for release and patch management.

## Use cases
- push code updates to flutter apps instantly
- fix bugs in production without app store review
- roll back a bad mobile release with one click
- automate flutter releases and patches in ci
- distribute hotfixes to flutter app users over the air
- manage flutter release and patch versions

## When to choose
- you build Flutter apps and need instant OTA updates without store delays
- you want to shorten the window between finding a bug and shipping a fix
- you need instant rollbacks and patch analytics for mobile releases

## When to avoid
- your app is not built with Flutter
- you need to update native code or binary assets, which patches cannot change
- you require a fully self-hosted solution with no cloud dependency
