Kivy

Innovative User Interfaces Made Easy.

Kivy's Coverage Kivy's Trending

Introduction

Kivy is a Python library for development of multi-touch enabled media rich applications. The aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and rapid prototyping, while making your code reusable and deployable.

Kivy is written in Python and Cython, based on OpenGL ES 2, supports various input devices and have an extensive widgets library. With the same codebase, you can target Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and iOS. All our widgets are built with multitouch support.

Kivy is MIT licensed, actively developed by a great community, as well as all the projects managed by the Kivy organisation.
