Innovative user interfaces made easy.
|
|
|
|
Kivy is an open source, cross-platform [Python](https://www.python.org)
|
|
framework for the development of applications that make use of innovative,
|
|
multi-touch user interfaces.
|
|
The aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and rapid prototyping
|
|
whilst making your code reusable and deployable.
|
|
|
|
Kivy is written in Python and [Cython](http://cython.org/), based on OpenGL ES
|
|
2, supports various input devices and has an extensive widget library. With the
|
|
same codebase, you can target Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. All Kivy
|
|
widgets are built with multitouch support.
|
|
|
|
Kivy is MIT licensed, actively developed by a great community and is supported
|
|
by many projects managed by the [Kivy Organization](https://kivy.org/#organization).
