An Elixir framework for building local-first desktop and mobile apps using Phoenix LiveView, with native windows via wxWidgets and a JSON/TCP bridge for iOS and Android. It provides window, webview, menu, and notification abstractions across multiple platform backends.
Use cases
- build a cross-platform desktop app in Elixir
- create a local-first app with Phoenix LiveView
- run an Elixir UI on Android and iOS
- develop a native-like GUI without JavaScript
- prototype desktop apps quickly with LiveView
When to choose
- you want to build desktop or mobile apps in Elixir with LiveView
- you need one codebase targeting Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
- you prefer local-first architecture over web-hosted apps
When to avoid
- you need pixel-perfect native UI controls
- your team does not know Elixir or Phoenix
- you need a large ecosystem of native widgets or app-store tooling
