Build native desktop apps with declarative markup and TypeScript/Zig, rendered without browser runtime.

Core Features

Declarative `.native` markup for UI, TypeScript/Zig for logic, compiled to native code
Rich built-in component library (buttons, lists, charts) with theming support
Deterministic state management with record/replay and AI automation server
Cross-platform: macOS (primary), Linux, Windows, experimental mobile

What It Can't Do

•macOS is the primary development platform; Linux and Windows support may have gaps (Linux runs full, Windows CI-tested)
•Pre-1.0 software, APIs may change frequently
•Mobile (iOS/Android) is experimental, not production-ready
•WebView is not built-in but can be composed as a surface

Use Cases

Building high-performance desktop apps like music players, note-taking tools, calculators
Creating lightweight professional tools with fast UI response
Leveraging AI-assisted development and automated UI testing

Detailed Introduction

Native SDK replaces the heavy runtime of web-based desktop frameworks with a pure native rendering engine written in Zig. Developers author views in `.native` markup files and logic in TypeScript (or Zig) compiled to native code at build time. The result is a single small binary with real OS windows, scroll physics, menus, and dialogs — no browser, no WebView, no JS runtime. Unlike Electron which bundles an entire browser, Native SDK renders entirely native; compared to Tauri, it offers a declarative markup approach with a simpler authoring model and built-in AI automation capabilities.
