Iced is a cross-platform GUI library for Rust inspired by The Elm Architecture, offering a simple, type-safe, reactive programming model with a batteries-included widget set. It is renderer-agnostic, with built-in GPU (wgpu) and software (tiny-skia) renderers, and supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and the Web.

Use cases

• build a desktop app in rust
• cross-platform gui toolkit for rust
• elm-style reactive ui in rust
• create custom widgets with a rust gui library
• build a web gui with webassembly in rust
• gpu-accelerated native app ui

When to choose

• you want a simple, type-safe, Elm-inspired UI model in Rust
• you need one codebase targeting desktop and the web
• you want built-in widgets plus easy custom widget support
• you need first-class async/futures support in your UI

When to avoid

• you need a fully stable, production-hardened toolkit (the project self-describes as experimental)
• you need complex data grids or enterprise widget sets out of the box
• you prefer immediate-mode GUIs like egui
• you need mature mobile (iOS/Android) support
