🚀I built Voltra, an npm package that lets you: ship custom Live Activities, Widgets, Dynamic Island + more with React. No Swift, Xcode, or extra JS runtime needed. ⚡ Hot reload ⛽ Server push ✻ AI coding agent-friendly 𝝠 @Expo + React Native ready Demo + must-read
REACT CODE IN A LOCK SCREEN🤩 Supports most of the SwiftUI modifiers you need for building extension targets, as well as all layout containers, including glass effects:
If you hate writing StyleSheet, it also supports @tailwindcss class names🎨
If you are one of those SwiftUI devs who always complains about how React Native lacks a way to write Watch, Widgets, and other extensions, I wanted to make it feel like home to you as well. ;) You can also pass SwiftUI modifiers ✨
✅ Supports all icons from SF Symbols 7 from Apple:
Supports counters, timers, and a variety of animations out of the box! I went through the top 10–15 apps across all categories to see what’s most common, and most of those features are now supported here. <Timer endAtMs={time} mode={animation_type} /> It will be that easy.
You will be able to get started in under 10 seconds! Incredibly simple, LLM-friendly APIs.
Skip Swift and its native build phase. 🚀 Unlimited and fully dynamic, on-the-fly generation. Check out how easy this is!
It is also super simple to send push notifs and update any of extensions. Here is a tiny example of Bun server sending updates:
Below is the example of iOS Widgets:
There are other exciting features in the works as well, including deep linking, Apple Watch support, and more. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more details so everyone can get hands-on experience with them. 🫡
