React Native by Meta builds truly native mobile apps using React. New Architecture with Fabric and TurboModules brings better performance. The leading cross-platform framework.
Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source alternative to Claude Code. Model-agnostic, configurable, and the git integration is solid. Perfect if you want control over your tools.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“Free, open-source, and surprisingly capable. The trade-off vs Cursor/Claude Code is polish — it works but requires more setup and CLI comfort.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“Aider proves that AI coding doesn't need to be locked into a proprietary IDE. The model-agnostic approach means it gets better as every LLM improves.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
