AppLighter

About this product

The problem AppLighter solves: AI coding agents have changed what's hard about shipping a mobile app. A year ago the bottleneck was writing the code — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Windsurf collapsed that overnight. The new bottleneck is what the agent is writing on top of. Vibe-code an app from scratch and you get the agent's confident best guess at architecture, design, and security: leaking API keys, hallucinated schemas, generic AI-shaped UI, RLS policies that don't exist, and a codebase that fights you the second it grows past the first feature. AppLighter is the foundation that fixes this. Eighteen full-stack React Native + Expo templates, each one designed as a foundation your agent can extend without breaking. What's in the catalog: Eighteen production-shaped templates covering taxi booking, fitness, e-learning, food delivery, real estate, AI travel planner, AI calorie counter, period tracker, chat and messaging, short video social, multi-vendor ecommerce, all-in-one marketplace, restaurant reservation, fashion store, grocery delivery, bus ticket booking, pet care and tracker, and weather. Free template available for evaluation. Paid templates from $49 to $149. How each template is built: Senior React Native engineers architected each template — typed contracts, semantic file paths, isolated domain layers. Senior product designers pixel-perfected every screen with design tokens, motion curves, typographic hierarchy, and full light and dark themes. Security review happened before release: RLS policies on every table reviewed line by line, every secret wrapped in an edge function, zero API keys in client bundles, auth flows penetration-tested, edge endpoints rate-limited. Why your agent works better here: Every template ships agent-readable. Each repo has CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursorrules pre-committed, plus a documented architecture map and typed contracts at every API boundary. On top of that, six slash commands handle the work agents do over and over: /add-screen scaffolds new screens with design tokens wired up, /add-provider plugs in a new auth or payment provider behind the existing abstraction, /swap-backend migrates from Supabase to Drizzle or Neon without touching app code, /audit-security runs the security checklist locally, /rebrand walks the agent through tokens, logos, splash, and app icon, and /ship builds and submits to the App Store and Play Store with the right env and metadata. The stack: React Native, Expo SDK 54, TypeScript, NativeWind, Reanimated, Expo Router. Backend on Vibecode DB — Supabase by default, with adapters for Drizzle and Neon. AI layer is bring-your-own-key, provider-agnostic, with streaming and tool use built in. Works first-class with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Windsurf. Who built it: Architected by Sanket Sahu — creator of NativeBase (~25k GitHub stars), gluestack, and founder of GeekyAnts. Roughly fourteen years of React Native delivery behind every decision in the codebase. Every architecture choice in AppLighter comes from patterns that survived production. The ones that didn't became the things we deliberately avoid. Commercial terms: One-time payment per template. Lifetime updates. Commercial use allowed. Seven-day refund. No subscription, no seat tax, no black boxes. Every line of code is yours.
