Freya is a cross-platform, non-web, declarative GUI library for Rust powered by the Skia graphics engine. It provides built-in components, animations, rich text and code editing, routing, and charting for building native desktop applications.

Use cases

• build a cross-platform desktop app in Rust
• create a native GUI with declarative components
• make a code editor with syntax highlighting in Rust
• add charts and data visualization to a Rust app
• build a UI with animations and transitions in Rust
• create a multi-page desktop application with routing

When to choose

• you want a native, non-web Rust GUI with Skia rendering
• you need built-in components like calendars, sliders, and virtualized lists
• you want declarative, reactive component state similar to Dioxus

When to avoid

• you need to target the web browser
• you require a very mature, long-stable GUI toolkit (pre-1.0, active RC releases)
• you prefer immediate-mode GUIs over declarative retained UI
