## What it is
AWTK (Toolkit AnyWhere) is an open-source cross-platform GUI engine written in C, developed by ZLG, targeting embedded systems, RTOS platforms, web, mobile, and desktop. It includes a rich widget set, a cross-platform utility library, and a companion drag-and-drop UI design tool (AWTK Designer).

## Use cases
- build a touch GUI for an STM32 embedded device
- create a smartwatch or music player interface on an RTOS
- develop a cross-platform desktop application with a single C codebase
- design embedded Linux HMI panels
- port a GUI to Zephyr or RT-Thread
- build web or mini-program UIs from embedded GUI code

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight GUI engine for resource-constrained embedded hardware or RTOS
- you want one codebase running on embedded, desktop, mobile, and web
- you prefer C with LGPL licensing and an active vendor-backed project

## When to avoid
- you need a pure web or native mobile framework with modern ecosystem tooling
- your project requires a permissive license incompatible with LGPL-2.1
- you want GPU-accelerated 3D or game-engine-level graphics
