Compose Multiplatform is a declarative framework for sharing user interface code across multiple platforms with Kotlin. It is based on Jetpack Compose and is developed by JetBrains and open source contributors.
The framework lets developers share UI code between Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows and the web. Desktop applications target the JVM and use hardware-accelerated rendering, while web support uses Kotlin/Wasm. Compose Multiplatform also provides desktop-specific extensions for menus, keyboard shortcuts, window manipulation and notifications.
This is free and open source software.
