Mobile apps · React Native

Mobile apps that share your web team’s skills.

React Native builds real native apps for iOS and Android from TypeScript, using the same React skills as your website.

React Native

Is this right for you?

A good fit when

  • Your web team already works in React and TypeScript.
  • You want to share business logic, types or design tokens with a web app.
  • You need iOS and Android on one timeline.
  • You want to ship small fixes over the air, within the store rules.

Not the best fit when

  • The app needs heavy graphics, 3D or advanced camera work.
  • Nobody on your side works in JavaScript, and you don’t plan to.
  • You need every brand-new platform feature on day one.

React Native

How we build it

  • TypeScript throughout

    Typed code, shared with your web app where it makes sense.

  • Native modules

    Swift and Kotlin modules for anything React Native cannot do on its own.

  • Testing

    Unit and end-to-end tests on real devices for the core flows.

  • Releases

    Automated builds, store releases and over-the-air fixes where allowed.

Questions

Questions people ask

Can you reuse code from our website?

Often the business logic, validation and types can be shared. Screens are usually built specifically for mobile.

Is React Native still a good choice?

Yes. It is widely used and actively developed, with a modern architecture built for performance.

Can you update the app without a store release?

Small JavaScript fixes can ship over the air within Apple and Google rules. Native changes still go through the stores.
