Frequently Asked Questions

Uniwind lets you use Tailwind CSS utility classes directly in your React Native components. Install Uniwind, configure your Tailwind theme, and start using familiar classes like flex, px-4, and text-lg on your React Native Views, Text, and other components. Uniwind compiles your styles at build time for native performance on iOS, Android, tvOS, Web, and Desktop.

Uniwind is 2-5x faster than other Tailwind CSS bindings for React Native. The free version already delivers excellent performance through optimized style processing. Uniwind Pro takes it further with a dedicated C++ engine that processes styles at the native level, eliminating JavaScript bridge overhead entirely. Our benchmarks render over 2,000 native views and measure average render times in milliseconds.

Uniwind is a drop-in replacement for NativeWind with significantly better performance. It supports the same Tailwind CSS className API you already know. Upgrading to Uniwind Pro unlocks the C++ engine for even faster rendering, ShadowTree updates for zero re-renders, Reanimated 4 animations, and native theme transitions. Migration from NativeWind takes minutes.
