Kotlin Multiplatform tools and libraries focused on native desktop targets.
This organization collects small, focused Kotlin Multiplatform projects that make it easier to write native desktop applications without the full JVM runtime. We love Kotlin for its conciseness, expressive APIs, and robust null-safety — and we aim to keep binaries lean so applications can run with minimal memory overhead.
Focus: Kotlin Multiplatform targeting native desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows).
- Resource Generator Plugin — Resource Generator Plugin. A tool to generate typed resource accessors for Kotlin projects (images, strings, other assets). Docs: https://kmupla.github.io/resource-generator/
- Kist ORM — Kist ORM. Documentation site with guides on motivation, philosophy, key features, and usage (entities, queries, database access). Docs: https://kmupla.github.io/kist-orm/

Why this org
- Kotlin offers expressive syntax, strong null-safety (NPE handling), and excellent multiplatform support.
- Native targets benefit from smaller runtime and lower memory usage compared to bundling a JVM.
Contributing
- We welcome contributions, ideas, and new projects.
- To contribute: fork the repo, create a branch (eg.
feat/your-feature), push changes, and open a Pull Request describing the change and any migration or usage notes. - Prefer small, focused PRs and include docs or examples when adding features or libraries.
Adding a project
- Add a short README and documentation site (GitHub Pages or docs tooling) and open a PR to include it in this organization index.
Get in touch
- Open issues or PRs for questions, proposals, or help porting code to Kotlin Multiplatform native.
