A tooling layer on top of React Native that removes the need for Xcode and Android Studio in most cases.
The managed workflow hands you a prebuilt native runtime with camera, notifications, location and a hundred other APIs already configured. npx create-expo-app and you are running on real hardware within a minute, a dramatic difference from assembling native toolchains yourself.
EAS Build compiles in the cloud, and EAS Update ships JavaScript updates over the air without going through the app stores. Expo once meant giving up custom native code; config plugins and development builds fixed that, and Expo is now the default route into React Native.
