Awesome-gpui
What is this?A curated awesome-list of projects built with or for GPUI, the GPU-accelerated UI framework for Rust. It catalogs native desktop apps, UI libraries, and examples, each with a star count and an activity status.
So is this the GPUI framework itself, or a list about it?Just the list — you browse it on GitHub, nothing to install. GPUI itself is a separate Rust crate you pull from crates.io; this repo is Zed Industries' showcase of what the community is building with it.
Where should I start if I want to try building with GPUI?Start with the Demos & Examples section: a calculator, basic list examples, and a Base64 encoder are the smallest entries and easy first code to read. The calculator alone shows both keyboard and mouse interaction.
What exactly is GPUI?A Rust UI framework that mixes immediate and retained mode rendering and draws everything on the GPU. It powers the Zed editor, ships on crates.io, and is designed to support a wide variety of applications.
Are these apps cross-platform, or mostly Mac-only?Mixed. Some are macOS-only, like the OpenMango MongoDB workbench and the Cadence Spotify player; others ship everywhere, like the tty7 terminal with native macOS, Windows, and Linux builds, or the Zorite journal on all three desktops.
How big is the AI coding-agent presence here?Large — it is a defining theme. The list includes cockpits that run Claude Code, Codex, and Aider side by side (OxiMux), agent swarms across git worktrees (Hadron), review tools for agent-written code (Reviu, lgtm), and token-usage monitors.
What if I want to build my own GPUI app?The Libraries section has UI kits: gpui-component is the most popular at 14.7k stars, plus Bezel, adabraka-ui, a declarative macro with Tailwind-style tokens, and ferrum-flow, a node-based editor framework.
What are similar projects?gpuix, gpui-kit, gpui-tutorial, zed, Avalonia, bezel, lightcraft, proton-native
Which topics is it in?zed, showcase, gpui, ui-framework, catalog, native, gpu-acceleration, developers, ui, awesome-list, desktop, list
