Introduction

AppLighter gives you pre-built, production-ready React Native templates so you can skip months of work and ship your app faster.

What is AppLighter?

AppLighter sells pre-built, fullstack React Native app templates. Each template is a complete, polished mobile app - screens, navigation, backend integration, dark mode, and animations all wired up and ready to go. You purchase a template, drop in your branding, connect your backend, and ship.

No boilerplate scaffolding. No half-built starters. Every template is a real app with 10-15+ screens that works out of the box on both iOS and Android.

What You Get

Each template includes:

  • Production screens - Dashboards, auth flows, profiles, settings, and domain-specific screens (workouts, nutrition, bookings, etc.)
  • Fullstack architecture - Supabase backend integration with auth, database, and storage pre-configured
  • Cross-platform - Runs on iOS and Android from a single codebase via Expo
  • Dark mode - Full dark mode support with automatic system preference detection
  • Smooth animations - React Native Reanimated for 60fps transitions and gestures
  • Type-safe - 100% TypeScript with strict types across the entire codebase

Tech Stack

Every template is built on the same modern stack:

  • Expo 54 with React Native 0.81
  • Expo Router 6 for file-based navigation
  • Supabase for auth, database, and storage (via Vibecode DB adapter)
  • TanStack Query 5 for data fetching with offline persistence
  • NativeWind 4 for Tailwind CSS styling in React Native
  • React Native Primitives for accessible, styled-from-scratch components

Built for AI-Assisted Development

Every template ships with deep Claude Code integration so you can extend and customize using AI:

  • 16 domain-specific skills that teach Claude your project's patterns - theming, routing, database, animations, and more
  • Pre-configured commands for generating new screens, components, and database tables
  • claude.md project context so Claude understands your architecture from the first prompt
