Orbit is a simple, type-safe MVI framework for Kotlin Multiplatform that implements Redux-inspired unidirectional data flow for shared business logic across Android, iOS and desktop. It provides lifecycle-safe flows, a multiplatform ViewModel with SavedState support, Compose Multiplatform integration, and testing utilities.

Use cases

• manage app state with MVI architecture in Kotlin
• share ViewModel business logic between Android and iOS
• implement unidirectional data flow with coroutines and flows
• integrate state management with Jetpack Compose and Compose Multiplatform
• unit test state and side effect flows in ViewModels
• prevent memory leaks when collecting infinite flows
• save and restore UI state across platforms

When to choose

• you build Kotlin Multiplatform or Android apps and want a lightweight, type-safe MVI pattern
• you want Redux-style unidirectional data flow integrated with ViewModel and Compose
• you need lifecycle-safe flow collection and state persistence out of the box

When to avoid

• your project is not on Kotlin/JVM or Kotlin Multiplatform
• you prefer other architecture patterns like MVP or plain MVVM without MVI
• you need a framework with a much larger ecosystem or community than MVI-specific libraries
