Curated List of Open Source React Native Apps. Curation curtesy of
A community-maintained list of open-source mobile apps built with React Native and Expo, serving as a real-world reference for learning cross-platform iOS and Android development in JavaScript.
This repository is a community-maintained list of open source mobile apps built with React Native and Expo, two popular toolkits for writing smartphone apps using JavaScript. React Native lets developers write code once and have it run on both iPhone and Android devices. Expo is a companion toolkit that makes the process even more accessible.
The list exists as a reference point for anyone learning to build mobile apps. Rather than reading documentation or tutorials alone, a developer can browse real, working examples and see how other people have structured their projects, handled navigation between screens, connected to external services, and so on. The apps here do not need to be published on the App Store or Google Play, so hobby and learning projects are welcome alongside polished commercial-grade work.
Anyone can add their project by submitting a pull request. The convention is to add new entries at the top, so the freshest additions appear first. Each entry in the list includes the app name, a short description, which version of React Native it uses, when it was last updated, how many stars the project has on GitHub, and links to the source code or store listings.
The kinds of apps in the collection vary widely: wallpaper browsers, streaming video players, time trackers, student study tools, weather apps, and many others. The variety makes it useful both for finding inspiration and for spotting how common problems get solved across different app categories.
The list is curated by Gant Laborde, co-owner of Infinite Red, a mobile development agency, and is connected to the React Native Newsletter for ongoing community updates. The full README is longer than what was shown.
