Humble UI is a desktop UI framework for Clojure that renders via Skia (through Skija) with OS integration handled by JWM. It offers a declarative, React-inspired API for building cross-platform desktop apps without Electron or JavaScript.

Use cases

  • build a desktop app in Clojure
  • cross-platform GUI without Electron
  • declarative UI framework for the JVM
  • REPL-driven desktop UI development
  • GPU-accelerated custom-drawn interfaces
  • alternative to Java Swing/JavaFX for Clojure

When to choose

  • you write Clojure and want native desktop apps
  • you want a modern declarative UI model like React or Flutter
  • you value interactive REPL-driven development
  • you're okay with a web-like custom look instead of native widgets

When to avoid

  • you need a stable, documented framework for production today
  • you require native look-and-feel widgets
  • you need mobile or web targets
  • you work outside the JVM/Clojure ecosystem
