Libraries I've Published

Native modules for the New Architecture, plus one SwiftUI package. All MIT, all with example apps and CI.

Library	What it does
react-native-device-pulse	Device health from JS — thermal state, low power mode, memory warnings. Event listeners and React hooks.
react-native-app-shortcuts	Home screen quick actions — `UIApplicationShortcutItem` on iOS, `ShortcutManager` on Android.
react-native-shared-transition	Shared element transitions between screens. Revived and rewritten — first working iOS build in the project's history.
react-native-tipkit	Apple's TipKit for React Native — popover and inline tips, display rules, event counts, frequency control.
react-native-image-analysis	On-device OCR with text geometry, barcodes, and a tap-to-select text view. Apple VisionKit on iOS, Google ML Kit on Android.
react-native-ios-controls	Control Center, Lock Screen and Action Button controls (iOS 18 `ControlWidget`), plus a CLI that wires up the widget target for you.
ToastKit	A polished SwiftUI toast & snackbar library — queued toasts, semantic styles, swipe-to-dismiss, full accessibility.
