Not yet responsive, but planned responsive with react-native-media-queries, which makes pure CSS media queries also run on native (with device orientation). Since Magnus UI generates pure CSS media queries when run on web. They consider it more performant than using Fresnel. But the jury is out... Alternatively, it might be that Magnus UI will use react-native-extended-stylesheet as a drop-in replacement for the StyleSheet in React Native which also supports media queries on native.

If you want to use React Native or React Native Web (RNW) and want to use a component library similar to Chakra UI (which doesn't support RN yet, and likely won't support RNW), then you have two good alternatives, to my knowledge. Especially if you want to use NextJS to do Server-Side Rendering (SSR) of the webapp/PWA.

Does NOT currently support SSR. Even though it still works with NextJS for other reasons such as code splitting and navigation, and SSG.

If you want both SSR and RNW, then you are not so lucky. But you can read my research of the options you have, in this discussion: How to combine React Native Web (RNW) + Responsive styles (media queries) + NextJS Server-Side Rendering (SSR), to get SEO on the web. If you don't want to make a compromise like the current options, there is a library called Fresnel, which has some promise to afford this combination. But it is not quite there yet. So please consider contributing to Fresnel in the RNW+NextJS compatibility issue or the useMedia() hook issue, so that Dripsy could be upgraded to use Fresnel again to support SSR.

detect-responsive-traits
Determine responsive traits to only server-side render markup truly needed.
Before, Dripsy used a library called Fresnel to achieve achieve Responsivity with CSS media queries. CSS breakpoints on web will rely on the mobile device's user agent for most cases. But since this can be inaccurate, Fresnel also uses pre-emptive server-side breakpoint generation. Basically, if the mobile user-agent cannot be accurately detected (if you combine Fresnel with its sister library, detect-responsive-traits), then Fresnel will render all media query breakpoints on the server (a bit of extra work for the server, since it might lead to rendering more components). So the client's browser will receive all breakpoints on first render and can immediately start rendering according to the correct ones. Instead of waiting for React to rehydrate before only then running the media queries with CSS-in-JS, which would have given latency and potentially unwanted visual side-effects. This becomes most acute when you are using SSR, and thus don't want to wait for rehydration on the client to start showing the responsively laid out content.
