React Native Companion
FreeReact Native Tooling
Run React Native commands (run-android, run-ios, Metro) from a tool window without freezing the IDE.
The gap it fixes
React Native Console — the leading paid alternative (~430K downloads, $19-24/year) — has a recent, severe, reproducible complaint on record: "severely impacting IDE performance... frequently becomes unresponsive... thread dumps are required." Older reports add buggy iOS simulator integration and unreliable buttons. Tellingly, the same vendor's own free tier is rated higher than their paid one — the problem is implementation quality in the paid extras, not the feature set itself.
