Compose Multiplatform is a declarative UI framework for Kotlin that enables sharing UI code across Android, iOS, desktop, and web platforms. It builds on Jetpack Compose and Kotlin Multiplatform to deliver native‑look‑and‑feel interfaces with a single codebase.
Use cases
- share UI code between Android and iOS apps
- create a single UI that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux desktops
- build a web UI using the same Kotlin code as mobile apps
- rapidly prototype cross‑platform interfaces with hot‑reload
- reuse business‑logic and UI components across mobile, desktop and web
When to choose
- you want a single Kotlin codebase for UI across multiple platforms
- you already use Jetpack Compose on Android and want to extend to iOS or desktop
- performance and native look‑and‑feel are required on each target
- you prefer a declarative, Compose‑style API
When to avoid
- your project targets platforms not yet supported (e.g., embedded or console)
- you need extensive platform‑specific UI libraries that are not yet wrapped
- you prefer a JavaScript/HTML/CSS based web stack
- team expertise is limited to other UI frameworks
