Flet is a Python framework for building realtime web, mobile, and desktop applications entirely in Python, using Flutter to render the UI. It provides 150+ built-in Material and Cupertino controls, built-in packaging for all platforms, and browser-based execution via WebAssembly and Pyodide.

Use cases

• build a cross-platform app in python without learning dart or javascript
• create a desktop gui app in python as an electron alternative
• build a mobile app for ios and android using only python
• make a realtime web app with python and no frontend experience
• package a python app as a standalone executable
• prototype interactive ui tools quickly in python

When to choose

• you know python but not frontend technologies like dart, swift, kotlin, html, or javascript
• you want one codebase targeting ios, android, windows, linux, macos, and web
• you need built-in packaging and deployment to app stores
• you want an electron alternative for lightweight desktop apps

When to avoid

• you need pixel-perfect custom native UI beyond what Flutter widgets offer
• your team already has strong frontend expertise and prefers react/vue/native toolkits
• you need very small binary sizes or minimal runtime overhead
• you require deep low-level platform APIs not exposed by the framework
