raygui is a simple, easy-to-use immediate-mode GUI library for C, designed as an auxiliary module for raylib but adaptable to other engines and frameworks. It is a single-file header-only library offering 25+ controls, a styling system, and icon support, intended primarily for tools development.
Use cases
- build debug overlays and tool windows for a raylib game
- create quick internal tools with sliders, buttons, and text boxes in C
- add an immediate-mode GUI to a custom graphics engine
- prototype UI for desktop utilities without a retained-mode framework
- embed a lightweight GUI with icons into a game editor
When to choose
- you are using raylib or want a minimal, dependency-light immediate-mode GUI in C
- you need simple tooling UI rather than complex retained-mode interfaces
- you prefer a single header-only file with easy integration
When to avoid
- you need rich, complex, or accessible application UI with layout management
- you require a retained-mode GUI framework with theming and native widgets
- you are building a web or mobile application
