GuiLite - The smallest GUI library
Introduction
- GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of C++ code, it runs on all platforms(e.g, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker and MCU with or without OS).
- GuiLite is embeddable, it runs inside other UI frameworks(e.g, Qt, MFC, Winform, Cocoa). You could use GuiLite features and host UI features simultaneously.
- GuiLite render UI by itself, independent of OS & Graphic library.
- GuiLite could work with many languages(e.g. Swift, Java, C#, Golang).
- 🔧We want people to customize GuiLite.
- ⚙️We hope GuiLite is small enough to help you understand how UI works.
- 👑You should be the master of your UI and not be tied to a specific framework.
🔥New feature:3D
Hello 3D has only 100+ lines code for beginner, showing you how to build pseudo 3D App with GuiLite. You can run it on Windows, Linux and MCU.

GuiLite previewer(WYSIWYG extension for GuiLite)
GuiLite Previewer is a Visual Studio Code extension, could extract GUI information from C++ code and preview GUI at preview page(What you see is what you get)
Support Docker Container
We build GuiLite demo as docker image, you can update/deploy/run the latest GuiLite demo on your device with single command below:
sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev:/dev-share idea4good/gui-lite:latest bash /run.sh
Easy customization
Multi-language:
Multi-theme
IoT Solution & Code Telemetry
Start with Demo
GuiLite is only a framework, could not create UI by itself. In order to show how to build UI App with it, We provide some samples for you.
- Sample code here.

GuiLite is the smallest and simplest GUI library.
- Just 5,000 line C++ code
- Only use basic C++ feature(class, virtual function), no complex syntax
- All rendering base on draw_pixel, no algorithm
- Full documents and small live demos for reference
