FR-AI / ANALYSIS

Why it is worth attention

It offers the full set of 21 iOS system materials, per-corner radius clipping, and Android-specific blur configuration (radius, downsampling, passes) not typically available in other blur libraries, all while being compatible with Reanimated for smooth animations.

Who it is for

  • React Native developers using Expo needing native-quality blur effects
  • Mobile app developers building iOS and Android apps with frosted glass UI
  • Expo SDK users who have switched to development builds and need advanced blur
  • Developers migrating from SwiftUI or UIKit blur patterns to React Native

Use cases

  • Create frosted glass headers, tab bars, and floating action bars with system materials
  • Blur children of a view (e.g., images) using GaussianBlurView for artistic effects
  • Animate blur intensity based on scroll position with Reanimated
  • Implement blur on Android with fine-grained control over radius and performance

Strengths

  • Supports all 21 iOS system materials plus custom tintColor for design flexibility
  • Provides per-corner radii that clip both the blur and its children, removing the need for separate overflow hidden wrappers
  • Offers Android-specific props (blurReductionFactor, downsampleFactor, blurRounds) to tune performance and match iOS look
  • Works with Reanimated via createAnimatedComponent for performant animated blurs

Considerations

  • Requires Expo development build or bare workflow; Expo Go is not supported
  • No web support; both components throw if rendered on web
  • GaussianBlurView requires Android API 31 (Android 12+) and is not available on older Android versions
