## What it is
Anubias is an open-source GUI-based IDE for visually building native cross-platform mobile, desktop, and web applications via drag-and-drop components and a JavaScript-like scripting language (xScript). It is built with Vue.js and Electron/Tauri and distributed for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a web app.

## Use cases
- build mobile apps without writing much code
- drag and drop app builder for android and ios
- create cross-platform desktop apps visually
- low-code gui ide for native apps
- make web and mobile apps with a visual editor
- develop apps for windows linux macos from one tool

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source visual/low-code builder for mobile, desktop, and web apps
- you prefer drag-and-drop GUI development over writing boilerplate code
- you need a single tool targeting Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and macOS

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained native control or a mature production-grade framework like Flutter or React Native directly
- you require a permissively licensed dependency (GPLv3 only)
- you need extensive documentation and a large ecosystem - the project is relatively small and v2 is still in development

- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, mobile-framework, desktop-framework, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, cross-platform, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: windows, cross-platform
