A fork of React Native that lets developers build native macOS desktop applications using JavaScript and React components rendered via Cocoa. The project is deprecated and no longer maintained, with users directed to React Native for Windows/macOS by Microsoft.
Use cases
- build macos desktop apps with react native
- reuse react native code for a mac app
- write desktop applications in javascript
- add a macos target to an existing react native project
- render native cocoa ui from react components
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy project already built on this fork
- you need a historical reference for react native desktop experiments
When to avoid
- starting any new macOS desktop project
- you want long-term support or updates
- you need Windows support too - use microsoft react-native-windows instead
