I'm making a desktop application with create-react-app and Electron. It needs to run on Mac, Windows and Linux. I also want to make a native version afterwards for Android and iOS.

Can I just make an application in React Native that works on mobile devices and on desktops? It would maybe save a lot of time.

Try Proton Native. It uses the React Native syntax for building desktop applications without Electron.
