Haze is a Kotlin library providing hardware-accelerated background blur and glass visual effects for Compose Multiplatform and Jetpack Compose. It offers a modular API with source-backed blur, refraction-driven glass effects, and reusable style configurations across Android, iOS, macOS, Desktop, and Web.

Use cases

• blur background behind a composable in Jetpack Compose
• frosted glass effect in Compose Multiplatform
• iOS-style blur materials in an Android app
• apply glassmorphism effects to overlays and sheets
• blur content behind a bottom bar or header in Compose
• custom visual effects on composables across platforms

When to choose

• you're building with Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform and need blur/glass effects
• you want hardware-accelerated, cross-platform visual effects from one codebase
• you need ready-made blur material presets matching platform design languages

When to avoid

• your app uses Views instead of Compose
• you need effects outside Compose Multiplatform's supported platforms
• you need a stable 2.x API today and can't tolerate beta-level changes
