GTK is a multi-platform GUI toolkit written in C for building graphical user interfaces, offering a complete set of widgets for projects from small tools to full application suites. This repository is a read-only GitHub mirror of the official GNOME GitLab project.

Use cases

build a desktop application with a graphical user interface
create cross-platform GUI apps in C
develop GNOME applications
build widget-based user interfaces on Linux
write a GUI toolkit-based app for Wayland or X11
create native-looking desktop software

When to choose

you need a mature, feature-complete widget toolkit for C or GNOME ecosystem languages
you are targeting Linux desktops, especially GNOME
you want LGPL licensing that permits proprietary apps

When to avoid

you are building web or mobile-first applications
you prefer a language-native UI framework like Qt for C++ or SwiftUI
you need a lightweight non-GUI library
