React Native · Mobile framework

React Native development for iOS and Android from one codebase.

Cross-platform apps that feel native, share logic with your web product and reach both stores for close to the cost of one platform.

What we build

What we build with React Native.

  1. Consumer apps

    Onboarding, feeds, payments and notifications with smooth navigation and platform-appropriate patterns.

  2. Offline-first field apps

    Local databases with background sync for crews working without reliable signal.

  3. Companion apps

    Mobile clients for existing web products, reusing API clients, validation and business logic.

  4. Native app migration

    Consolidating separate iOS and Android codebases into one, screen by screen.

The difference

When React Native is the right call.

No tool fits everything. We would rather tell you now than halfway through the build.

Consider something else

  • Graphics-intensive games
  • Apps built mostly around one platform's newest native APIs
  • Heavy on-device audio or video processing

A strong fit

  • Business and consumer apps needing both platforms
  • Teams that already use React on the web
  • Products that benefit from over-the-air updates
  • Offline-first field and operations apps

How we use it

Practices we hold ourselves to.

Knowing a framework is the easy part. These are the habits that keep a codebase healthy after a year of changes.

  1. Expo where it fits

    Managed builds, over-the-air updates and a maintained native layer, with custom native code added when required.

  2. Native where it counts

    Swift and Kotlin modules for camera, Bluetooth, background tasks and anything performance-critical.

  3. Release pipeline from sprint one

    Signed builds from CI to TestFlight and Play testing, so releasing is routine long before launch.

  4. Measured on real devices

    Start-up time, frame rate and memory profiled on mid-range hardware, not just the newest phone.

FAQ

React Native: common questions.

Does a React Native app feel native?

Yes, when built well. It renders real native components, and with attention to navigation, gestures and platform conventions users cannot tell the difference.

React Native or Flutter?

Both are solid. We lean to React Native when you have React on the web or want over-the-air updates, and to Flutter when you want pixel-identical custom UI on both platforms. We explain the trade-off for your case in discovery.

Can you share code with our web app?

A good deal of it: API clients, validation, types and business logic. Interface code is mostly separate, because good mobile and web interfaces differ.

Can you take over an existing React Native app?

Yes. We start with an audit covering dependencies, native modules and the release pipeline, since out-of-date libraries are the usual source of pain.
