Built to power a new generation of game development tools, Ultra App Kit provides an easy-to-use C++ programming SDK for creating cross-platform desktop GUI applications. Learn from extensive documentation with hundreds of examples. Integrate a 3D engine or OpenGL rendering for embedded 3D graphics.
Make it Snappy
Unlike other alternatives like ImGui, Ultra App Kit draws using retained mode instead of immediate mode. This makes resizing windows and interacting with screen elements fast and responsive, even with the most complex interfaces.Pixel-Perfect Pixels on any Screen
DPI scaling is baked into the core of our design, for a beautiful clean appearance at any resolution.Small and Efficient
Ultra App Kit runs with no extra dependencies and produces tiny executables (usually less than one megabyte after UPX compression) that start up and exit instantly.Code Once, Compile Everywhere
