## What it is
UI Kitten is a React Native UI component library based on the Eva Design System, offering 30+ production-ready components with light/dark theming that can be switched at runtime. It supports iOS, Android, and web via React Native Web, and works with Expo and modern React Native.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform mobile app with consistent UI components
- add dark mode to a React Native app
- create multi-branded mobile apps with runtime theme switching
- quickly scaffold a React Native app with a styled component kit
- find accessible buttons, inputs, calendars, and modals for React Native
- use Eva Design System icons and components in a mobile app

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app and want a cohesive, design-system-driven component set
- you need runtime light/dark theme switching without reloading the app
- you want a free, MIT-licensed UI kit with extensive documentation and examples
- you target iOS, Android, and web from one codebase

## When to avoid
- you are building a web-only app where standard web UI libraries fit better
- you need highly custom, non-Eva-styled designs from scratch
- your project uses a different framework like Flutter or native iOS/Android

## Facets
