CUI is a new, native UI library for the C programming language, designed for building modern desktop applications. It provides around 160 pre-built, complete components—including data grids, command palettes, node editors, property inspectors, charts, and chat interfaces—all from a single C99 codebase with zero dependencies. The library uses an immediate mode rendering approach, where the entire UI is redrawn each frame, eliminating state synchronization complexity.
The toolchain targets Windows, macOS, and Linux, claiming a complete application bundle under 250 KB and per-frame rendering times below 0.25 milliseconds. For C developers, this offers a rare, high-level, and cohesive toolkit for creating polished desktop applications without relying on heavyweight frameworks or external dependencies, potentially revitalizing native C development for modern interfaces.
