What it does
RapidNative is a collaborative builder for mobile apps. You describe an app in plain language, or start from a sketch, a screenshot or a requirements document, and it generates React Native screens with Expo Router navigation. Projects come with authentication, file storage, realtime updates and a Postgres database, and can be pointed at your own Supabase. Edits are made by selecting a screen and describing the change, and the generated code can be exported and extended in your own IDE. Apps can be previewed on iPhone and Android by scanning a QR code, shared by link, and edited by a team in real time. Native device features such as camera, location, push notifications and biometrics can be requested from the AI. For release, the site describes publishing to the App Store and Google Play, either directly or by exporting the code. A separate Deploy service handles store listings, compliance and submission, and also converts web apps built in tools such as Lovable into native React Native projects. The site says custom component support and gluestack integration are still in development.
