Cloudy is a Kotlin Multiplatform library for Compose that provides blur, liquid glass, and shader-driven surface effects via simple Modifier extensions. It uses GPU-accelerated rendering with a CPU fallback for older devices.

Use cases

• blur a composable's own content in Jetpack Compose
• create glassmorphism backdrop blur effects behind UI elements
• add liquid glass lens effects with refraction and chromatic dispersion
• apply custom shader effects like thin-film or specular highlights
• support blur on older Android devices without RenderScript
• blur network-loaded images in Compose

When to choose

• you're building Compose or Compose Multiplatform UIs and need blur or glass effects
• you need cross-platform (Android + other KMP targets) surface effects
• you must support older Android versions lacking native blur APIs
• you want customizable shader effects beyond simple blur

When to avoid

• your project doesn't use Jetpack Compose or Kotlin Multiplatform
• you only target iOS or non-Android platforms without Compose
• you need image-processing blur on saved files rather than UI rendering
• you're on a platform where GPU/CPU fallback performance is insufficient
