RapidNative: Real Mobile Apps from Prompts — Fast, Native, and Yours

Another AI app builder? Yes. But this one's different.

There's no shortage of AI-powered builders promising to bring your app ideas to life. Most generate stunning mockups. A few offer no-code workflows. Some spit out semi-usable HTML for your browser-based MVP.

We didn't build RapidNative to do the same.

We built it because we believe mobile builders deserve better — especially if you're working in React Native. Not just as a developer. But as a founder, a designer, or a solo builder who actually wants to launch something real.

So today, we're launching RapidNative on Product Hunt.

It's the fastest way to go from prompt → mobile UI → production-grade code — without waiting, without vendor lock-in, and without shipping a webview app disguised as native.

Here's what makes it different:

1. Because a webview app is not a real mobile app

Most AI builders (and many no-code tools) end up giving you… a glorified website. Wrapped in a native shell.

It might "look" like a mobile app. But it doesn't behave like one — and it doesn't scale like one.

RapidNative is different. Every screen you generate is real React Native code.

It runs in Expo. It uses platform-native navigation. And it feels like an app built by a developer — because it is.

So when you prompt "build a 3-screen onboarding for a fitness tracker," we don't give you a pretty web mockup. We give you a native mobile experience — ready to launch on iOS and Android.

2. Because waiting 10 minutes to see your UI is 9 minutes too long

You've been there — click "generate," go make coffee, return to find a broken preview or nothing useful.

Not with RapidNative.

RapidNative is built on a chat-first workflow — you describe what you want, and we scaffold clean screens right away. Want to tweak something? Just ask:

It all happens instantly. No compiling. No waiting. No "we'll email you when it's done."

3. Because the code should be exportable, usable, and developer-grade — every time

You own your code. That's it. That's the bar.

With RapidNative, every project exports as a fully functional Expo app, written in clean TypeScript, styled with NativeWind, and structured to scale.

You're not locked in. You don't need us to deploy. You can take it to VS Code, GitHub, your own pipeline — and continue building like you normally would.

It's the tool that gets out of the way once it's done its job.

Whether you're building a prototype, an MVP, or scaffolding a new feature set — RapidNative helps you move fast, without sacrificing long-term ownership.

Who is it for?

• Founders who want to test mobile app ideas without hiring a full dev team
• Designers who want to turn UIs into working code (without coding)
• Developers who want a faster starting point (not a toy)
• Indie hackers shipping fast, but staying technical

Try It. Ship It. Judge Us Later.

We didn't build RapidNative to win the AI tool race. We built it because we wanted something like this — and it didn't exist.

It's just: Prompt → React Native → NativeWind → Mobile App.

Nothing more. But also, nothing less.

Come see it in action on Product Hunt.

Try it. Break it. Love it. Or don't.

But if you've ever wished "this AI builder just gave me real mobile code," we built RapidNative for you.

Let's make boring, buildable, beautiful apps again. One prompt at a time.
