MMKV for Android
An efficient, small mobile key-value storage framework
MMKV for Android is an efficient, small mobile key-value storage framework developed by WeChat. Works on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and POSIX. Efficient. MMKV uses mmap to keep memory synced with file, and protobuf to encode/decode values, making the most of Android to achieve best performance. MMKV supports concurrent read-read and read-write access between processes. Easy-to-use. You can use MMKV as you go. All changes are saved immediately, no sync, no apply calls needed. MMKV contains process locks, encode/decode helpers and mmap logics and nothing more. It's really tidy. MMKV adds about 50K per architecture on App size, and much less when zipped (apk). MMKV is published under the BSD 3-Clause license. Starting from v1.2.8, MMKV has been migrated to Maven Central. Older versions (<= v1.2.7) are still available on JCenter. -

openFrameworks
Cross platform toolkit for creative coding in C++
openFrameworks is a C++ toolkit for creative coding. docs have some documentation around OF usage, per platform things to consider, etc. You should definitely take a look in there; for example, if you are on OSX, read the osx.md. apps and examples are where projects go -- examples contain a variety of tasks that show you how to use OF, and apps is where your own projects will go. libs contain the libraries that OF uses, including the open frameworks core itself. addons are for additional functionality that's not part of the core. export is for DLLs and dylibs that need to be put in each compiled project. The scripts folder has templates and small scripts for automating OF per platform. project generator is a GUI-based tool for doing new projects - this folder is only there in packaged releases. -

BeeHive
Solution for iOS Application module programs
BeeHive is a solution for iOS Application module programs, it absorbed the Spring Framework API service concept to avoid coupling between modules. BeeHive is a modular program of implementation in iOS, it absorbed the Spring Framework API service concept to avoid to directly coupling between modules. BeeHive bases on Spring Service concept, although you can make and implement specific interfaces decoupling between modules, but can not avoid interface class dependencies. Mainly on account of the difficulty and cost of learning to achieve, and dynamic invocation interface parameters can not be able to check phase change problems at compile time, dynamic programming techniques require a higher threshold requirement. BeeHive's Each module will provide life-cycle events for the host environment and Each module necessary information exchange to BeeHive, you can observe the change in life run loop. -

EZAudio
An iOS and macOS audio visualization framework
An iOS and macOS audio visualization framework built upon Core Audio useful for anyone doing real-time, low-latency audio processing and visualizations. I've designed six audio components and two interface components to allow you to immediately get your hands dirty recording, playing, and visualizing audio data. These components simply plug into each other and build on top of the high-performance, low-latency AudioUnits API and give you an easy to use API written in Objective-C instead of pure C. EZAudio was designed to work transparently across all iOS and OSX devices. This means one universal API whether you're building for Mac or iOS. For instance, under the hood an EZAudioPlot knows that it will subclass a UIView for iOS or an NSView for OSX and the EZMicrophone knows to build on top of the RemoteIO AudioUnit for iOS, but defaults to the system defaults for input and output for OSX. -

GPUImage 2
Framework for GPU-accelerated video and image processing
GPUImage 2 is the second generation of the GPUImage framework, an open source project for performing GPU-accelerated image and video processing on Mac, iOS, and now Linux. The original GPUImage framework was written in Objective-C and targeted Mac and iOS, but this latest version is written entirely in Swift and can also target Linux and future platforms that support Swift code. The objective of the framework is to make it as easy as possible to set up and perform realtime video processing or machine vision against image or video sources. By relying on the GPU to run these operations, performance improvements of 100X or more over CPU-bound code can be realized. This is particularly noticeable in mobile or embedded devices. On an iPhone 4S, this framework can easily process 1080p video at over 60 FPS. On a Raspberry Pi 3, it can perform Sobel edge detection on live 720p video at over 20 FPS. -

Pusher
OS X and iOS application and framework to play with APNs
Pusher is a Mac and iPhone app for sending push notifications directly to the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). Testing push notifications for an iOS or Mac app normally requires setting up a server or creating an account online. And when these don’t work properly, it can be very difficult to find out why. With Pusher all you need is an SSL certificate and a device token, and you can start pushing directly from your Mac and even from your iPhone! Pusher provides detailed error reporting and logs, and many other tools. It’s got a small framework for both OS X and iOS, and is a good choice for better understanding how push notifications work and playing around with them. -

SkiaSharp
SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms
SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library. It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images. Building SkiaSharp is mostly straight forward. The main issue is the multiple dependencies for each platform. However, these are easy to install as they are found on the various websites. If you are just working on managed code, it is even easier as there mays to skip all the native builds. Because there are multiple distros of Linux, and we cannot possibly support them all, we have a separate NuGet package that will contain the supported binaries for a few distros. -

Desktop
Building Local-First apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android
desktop enables building cross-platform desktop applications with Elixir by pairing a Phoenix/LiveView UI with a native webview shell. The approach keeps application logic on the BEAM—supervised, fault-tolerant, and hot-reload-friendly—while rendering an HTML/CSS/JS interface inside the system’s embedded browser engine. It offers conveniences for packaging and distribution on Windows, macOS, and Linux, including app metadata, icons, and startup integration. The library exposes desktop-specific affordances such as system tray menus, window management, and notifications, so applications feel native rather than like generic web wrappers. Because LiveView drives the UI, state lives on the server process, enabling real-time updates without heavy client frameworks. The result is a productive stack for tools, dashboards, and utilities where Elixir’s concurrency and resilience shine on the desktop. Teams get to reuse their Phoenix skills and still ship a polished native app experience. -

MediaElement.js
A dependable HTML media framework
Boost your player with Chromecast, Google Analytics and more. MediaElement.js is a blazingly fast and amazingly powerful HTML5 audio and video library that creates a unified feel for media files (MP4, MP3, FLV), streaming content (HLS, M(PEG)-DASH, RTMP), and embeddable players like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, DailyMotion, Facebook, and SoundCloud. MediaElement.js is a set of custom Flash plugins that mimic the HTML5 MediaElement API for browsers that don't support HTML5 or don't support the media codecs you're using. Instead of using Flash as a fallback, Flash is used to make the browser seem HTML5 compliant and enable codecs like H.264 (via Flash) on all browsers. In general, MediaElement.js supports IE11+, MS Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iOS 8+ and Android 4.0+. It is strongly recommended to read the entire documentation and check the demo folder to get the most out of this package. -

Anko
An Android application development library
Anko is a Kotlin library which makes Android application development faster and easier. It makes your code clean and easy to read, and lets you forget about rough edges of the Android SDK for Java. Anko was born as a type-safe DSL for building Android layouts. It not only allowed creating layouts in a type-safe way, but it made the layouts more adaptable, dynamic, reusable, and also performant, as there was no need for expensive layout inflation. Anko consists of several parts that make up the complete framework, which are: Anko Commons: a lightweight library full of helpers for intents, dialogs, logging and so on. Anko Layouts: a fast and type-safe way to write dynamic Android layouts. Anko SQLite: a query DSL and parser collection for Android SQLite. Anko Coroutines: utilities based on the kotlinx.coroutines library. -

Carthage
A simple, decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa
Carthage is intended to be the simplest way to add frameworks to your Cocoa application. Carthage builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks, but you retain full control over your project structure and setup. Carthage does not automatically modify your project files or your build settings. Get Carthage by running brew install carthage or choose another installation method. Create a Cartfile in the same directory where your .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace is. List the desired dependencies in the Cartfile. Once you have Carthage installed, you can begin adding frameworks to your project. Note that Carthage only supports dynamic frameworks, which are only available on iOS 8 or later (or any version of OS X). We encourage using XCFrameworks as of version 0.37.0 (January 2021), and require XCFrameworks when building on an Apple Silicon Mac. Switching from discrete framework bundles to XCFrameworks requires a few changes to your project. -

Dagger
Fast dependency injector for Android and Java
Dagger is a fully static, compile-time dependency injection framework for Java, Kotlin, and Android. It is an adaptation of an earlier version created by Square and now maintained by Google. The latest Dagger release is: Dagger 2.33. Dagger aims to address many of the development and performance issues that have plagued reflection-based solutions. Dagger is a replacement for the FactoryFactory classes that implements the dependency injection design pattern without the burden of writing the boilerplate. It allows you to focus on the interesting classes. Declare dependencies, specify how to satisfy them, and ship your app. Dependency injection frameworks have existed for years with a whole variety of APIs for configuring and injecting. So, why reinvent the wheel? Dagger 2 is the first to implement the full stack with generated code. The guiding principle is to generate code that mimics the code that a user might have hand-written to ensure that dependency injection is simple. -

Detox
Gray box end-to-end testing and automation framework for mobile apps
High velocity native mobile development requires us to adopt continuous integration workflows, which means our reliance on manual QA has to drop significantly. Detox tests your mobile app while it's running in a real device/simulator, interacting with it just like a real user. The most difficult part of automated testing on mobile is the tip of the testing pyramid - E2E. The core problem with E2E tests is flakiness, tests are usually not deterministic. We believe the only way to tackle flakiness head on is by moving from black box testing to gray box testing. That's where Detox comes into play. Detox is built from the ground up to support React Native projects as well as pure native ones. Read the Getting Started Guide to get Detox running on your app in less than 10 minutes. We believe that the only way to address the core difficulties with mobile end-to-end testing is by rethinking some of the principles of the entire approach. -

DivKit
DivKit is an open source Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework
DivKit is an open source Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework. It allows you to roll out server-sourced updates to different app versions. Also, it can be used for fast UI prototyping, allowing you to write a layout once and then ship it to iOS, Android, and Web platforms. DivKit is an excellent choice to start using server-driven UI in your project because it can be easily integrated as a simple view in any part of your app. At the starting point, you don’t need a server integration. You can include all JSON on the client-side to try it in a real-world application. Also, we’ve made a sandbox for you to experiment with. You can try different samples in the web editor and see the results on the web or in the Android demo app, both of which are available on Google Play. We’ll publish the iOS demo app shortly. The UI in the demo can be updated live: the sandbox connects to the demo app via web sockets. -

23
Mantle
Model framework for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch
Mantle makes it easy to write a simple model layer for your Cocoa or Cocoa Touch application. Core Data solves certain problems very well. If you need to execute complex queries across your data, handle a huge object graph with lots of relationships, or support undo and redo, Core Data is an excellent fit. If you're just trying to access some JSON objects, Core Data can be a lot of work for little gain. Nonetheless, if you're using or want to use Core Data in your app already, Mantle can still be a convenient translation layer between the API and your managed model objects. In order to serialize your model objects from or into JSON, you need to implement <MTLJSONSerializing> in your MTLModel subclass. Mantle doesn't automatically persist your objects for you. However, MTLModel does conform to <NSCoding>, so model objects can be archived to disk using NSKeyedArchiver. -
