Expo is the fastest way to build and ship polished, production-ready mobile and web apps, all without native setup, endless config, or burnout. Start building in minutes and ship something you’re truly proud of in days. Check out our Claude code skills to build at the speed of AI.
Solo devs build with Expo
You’ve got the idea. Expo helps you get it live faster, easier, and without the pain of native complexity. From your first preview to your first app store push, we’ve got your back.
Go from npx create-expo-app to a live device preview in under 5 minutes. No Xcode, Android Studio, or native setup required. Prebuilt binaries, smart defaults, and OTA update support mean you can start building fast without wrestling config or credentials.
Write in React Native once and deploy everywhere. EAS Build handles native binaries, asset bundling, and store-ready outputs. It supports notifications, deep linking, and native modules through config plugins. No rewrites, forks, or extra pipelines required.
