Now UI React Native

Now UI React Native is a free, fully coded React Native app template by Creative Tim that packages over 200 UI component variations into a complete e-commerce app skeleton, built on Galio, React Native, and Expo.

What is Now UI React Native?

Now UI React Native is an open-source mobile app template from Creative Tim, version 1.5.0, that gives developers a ready-made UI system and pre-built screens to build e-commerce apps on React Native. It takes a design system inspired by Now UI KIT and produces functional React Native code with customized components, all runnable through Expo on Android and iOS. The template is MIT-licensed and available on GitHub and the Creative Tim website.

Key Features

• Over 200 component variations — Buttons, inputs, cards, navigations, checkboxes, switches, sliders, and tabs are included, each adjustable in color through the central constants/Theme.js file.
• Eight pre-built example screens — The project ships with Onboarding, Home, Profile, Register, Settings, Articles, Components, and Pro screens in the screens/ folder.
• Built on Galio and Expo — Galio supplies the base React Native components, and Expo lets you run the app in iOS and Android simulators or on a physical device.
• Nucleo icon set — The assets include nuk-icons in both PNG and SVG formats, plus a nucleo font, ready for use in headers and buttons.
• Organized file structure — Separate components/, constants/, navigation/, and screens/ directories keep the code modular; the navigation/Screens.js and navigation/Menu.js files define route and menu structure.
• Cross-platform support — Officially supports the last two versions of Android and iOS.
• Free MIT license — You can download it from Creative Tim and use it in your own projects without licensing fees.

Who is it for?

• React Native developers who want to skip UI component design and start with a working, stylized app layout.
• E-commerce startups needing a fast route from prototype to a functional mobile app with profiles, product listing, and registration screens.
• Designers who want a pixel-perfect implementation of the Now UI design language in React Native to hand to a development team.
• Creative Tim customers already using Now UI KIT or its web versions, since the template mirrors that visual style for mobile.

What can you do with it?

• E-commerce product builders: Use the Home, Articles, and Profile screens plus the component set to assemble a storefront with a working cart or product display flow.
• Prototyping teams: Swap the pre-built onboarding and register screens into a demo app to show clients without writing UI code from scratch.
• Mobile app learners: Study how a production-oriented React Native project is organized, including component folders, theming, and navigation setup.

How does it work?

Download the source from Creative Tim or the GitHub repository, then run it with Expo. The template loads with a Home screen and a navigation menu; you can modify components, colors, and screens by editing the files under components/ and constants/. The included documentation at demos.creative-tim.com covers installation and customization.

FAQ

Is Now UI React Native free?

Yes, the template is licensed under MIT, so it is free to download and use, including in commercial projects. You can get it from the Creative Tim product page or the public GitHub repository.

What is the difference between Now UI React Native and Now UI Kit?

Now UI Kit is the HTML/CSS version for web pages, while Now UI React Native is a separate template built with React Native and Expo for iOS and Android mobile apps. Creative Tim also offers React, Angular, and Vue versions of the design system for web development.

Does it include an e-commerce backend?

No, the template is a UI and frontend skeleton only. It provides the screens, components, and navigation but no server-side or database functionality, so you would integrate your own backend or API for e-commerce operations.

Alternatives

Creative Tim's own Material Kit Pro React Native is another React Native UI kit in their portfolio, offering a Material Design aesthetic instead of Now UI's minimal style.
