React Native app development in Portugal
GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.
Clarigo Infotech builds React Native apps that run on iOS and Android from one codebase, saving time and cost without giving up a native feel. We design, build, test and launch on the App Store and Google Play, and the same team keeps improving the app after launch. React Native is a strong fit when you also have a React web app, because code and skills can be shared.
Portuguese companies most often hire us for SaaS products, startups and AI automation.

Native modules
Camera, maps, payments, Bluetooth and push notifications, with native code where needed.
Web and app together
Share logic and design with a React or Next.js website for faster delivery.
Upgrades and rescue
Upgrade old React Native versions, fix performance and stabilise crashing apps.
How we approach React Native
When React Native is the right choice
React Native suits most business, social, commerce and productivity apps, especially when you have or plan a React web product. For graphics-heavy games or very hardware-specific apps, we may recommend native code instead and will say so.
Performance that feels native
We use the new architecture, optimised lists and images, and native modules for heavy work, then profile on real devices so scrolling and animations stay smooth.
From build to app store
We handle app store accounts, screenshots, review guidelines, privacy labels, crash reporting and over-the-air updates, so launching and updating is predictable.
Proven on real products
Our team designed and built LivSocial's mobile app alongside its website and AI tool, and Vumi, our own AI companion app with voice calls.
Built for Portuguese teams
Time-zone overlap
Portuguese and Indian working days overlap by four and a half to five and a half hours, so stand-ups, calls and quick decisions happen during your morning and early afternoon.
The GDPR and Portugal's Law 58/2019
We design to the GDPR and Law 58/2019: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.
