Drift is a cross-platform mobile UI framework. Write your app once in Go, then build native Android and iOS apps via the Drift CLI.

• Single codebase - Write once, deploy to Android and iOS
• Go-native - Use Go's tooling, testing, and ecosystem
• Skia rendering - Hardware-accelerated graphics (same engine as Chrome and Flutter)
• No bridge overhead - Direct native compilation, no VM layer
• iOS builds on Linux - Build iOS apps without a Mac using xtool

# Install the CLI
go install github.com/go-drift/drift/cmd/drift@latest

# Create and run a new project
drift init hello-drift
cd hello-drift
drift run android

Skia binaries are downloaded automatically on first run.

Full documentation is available at driftframework.dev:

• Getting Started - Installation and first app
