Recus.app is a server-driven onboarding platform for React Native applications that eliminates the need for App Store releases when updating user onboarding experiences. The product addresses the common pain point where product managers must create Jira tickets and wait weeks for app store approval just to make simple changes like adding a field, modifying a screen, or making something mandatory.
The platform includes a React Native SDK that developers install once and wrap their app with the RecusAppProvider component. This SDK connects to a dashboard where product teams can build and modify onboarding flows using a visual flow builder. The system uses a server-driven schema approach, meaning all onboarding logic and UI configurations are controlled remotely rather than being hardcoded in the app.
Key capabilities include customizable UI components that can be styled to match the app's design system, a flow builder dashboard for creating multi-step onboarding sequences, and instant publishing that pushes changes to live apps within 60 seconds. The platform supports adding fields, changing screens, making elements mandatory, and other common onboarding modifications without requiring code changes or new releases.
The technical implementation centers around a server-driven architecture where onboarding schemas are fetched and rendered dynamically by the React Native SDK. This approach enables real-time updates while maintaining native performance and user experience. The customizable UI system ensures that remotely-controlled onboarding flows maintain the app's visual consistency and brand identity.
Benefits include dramatically reduced time-to-market for onboarding changes, elimination of app store review delays, reduced development overhead, and increased agility for product teams. Teams can iterate on onboarding experiences based on user feedback or analytics without the traditional bottlenecks of mobile app deployment cycles.
The product is designed for React Native development teams, product managers, and mobile app companies who need to frequently update their onboarding experiences. Built with modern technologies including Vercel, Cursor, and Next.js, Recus.app offers a free tier and is particularly suited for teams following agile development practices.
