  • compose-multiplatform

    Compose Multiplatform, a modern UI framework for Kotlin that makes building performant and beautiful user interfaces easy and enjoyable.

  • As for missing controls, a common one is a grid. They have built in grids, but again they are built for Android and don't make any sense in a desktop app. There is no simple way to create an Excel-like Data Grid like you might see in Windows Forms, although it can be done. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/344.

  • aurora

    Building modern, elegant and fast desktop Compose applications (by kirill-grouchnikov)

  • +1 I really hope that they add official desktop controls. Just wanted to mention this library https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora It has some pretty good looking desktop controls, in the meantime.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • kobweb

    A modern framework for full stack web apps in Kotlin, built upon Compose HTML

  • (For people who don't know Kobweb, you can read more at https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb, but until I update it, please replace "Compose for Web" to "Compose HTML" in your head, thanks!)

  • jewel

    An implementation of the IntelliJ look and feels in Compose for Desktop

  • There is some effort from JB in porting their Darcula theme (along with a lot of controls) with the Jewel project.
