CLOG (The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI) is a Common Lisp framework that builds graphical user interfaces using web technology, communicating with a browser over websockets while all application logic runs on the server. It can serve as a cross-platform GUI framework, a website framework, or both, and ships with CLOG Builder, a full IDE and GUI builder written in CLOG itself.

Use cases

• build cross-platform desktop GUI apps in Common Lisp
• create interactive web applications with server-side logic
• develop mobile apps that run natively on Android and iOS
• build monitoring dashboards for embedded systems
• teach programming with a parallel GUI framework
• build multiplayer online games
• generate cross-platform reports

When to choose

• you want to write GUIs or web apps entirely in Common Lisp
• you prefer server-side UI logic with no client-side JavaScript to write
• you need one codebase targeting desktop, web, and mobile
• you want a stable, production-proven API with an integrated IDE and GUI builder

When to avoid

• you need a rich client-side JavaScript ecosystem or SPA frameworks like React
• your team does not use Common Lisp
• you need offline-first apps without a browser or websocket connection
• you require pixel-perfect native platform widgets rather than browser-rendered UI
