NiceGUI is a framework for building graphical user interfaces that run in a web browser or a native desktop window. It provides a convenient way to create interactive applications without requiring developers to write substantial amounts of frontend code.
The framework is particularly suited to dashboards, robotics interfaces, smart home applications, data visualization, and machine learning tools. Applications can combine conventional interface controls with interactive charts, three-dimensional scenes, and real-time information.
NiceGUI handles communication between the application and its interface, allowing developers to concentrate on application functionality rather than managing browser interactions.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Extensive collection of interface components including buttons, sliders, switches, checkboxes, text fields, and dialogs.
- Flexible layouts with rows, columns, cards, tabs, and expandable sections.
- Interactive charts and plots using libraries including ECharts, Plotly, and Matplotlib.
- Three-dimensional scene rendering and interactive visualization.
- Interactive tables, file uploads, image annotations, and tree views.
- Support for Markdown, HTML, and custom Vue components.
- Automatic interface updates through data binding and refreshable functions.
- Built-in timers for periodically updating displayed information.
- Event handling for keyboard, mouse, and touch interactions.
- Support for shared application state and individual user sessions.
- Persistent storage for application, user, and browser data.
- Native desktop mode using pywebview.
- Automatic page reloading when application code changes.
- Customizable themes, colors, and interface appearance.
- Integration with FastAPI for extending application functionality.
- Built-in testing utilities for simulating user interactions.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
