THE SHARED FOUNDATION

What we build,
you can build on.

The Starling SDK brings Swift, UI, rendering, and platform hosts together. Our applications build on the same open foundation, and improvements can carry from one application to the next.

Explore the implementation, follow development, or use the building blocks for an idea of your own.

OPEN CODE. SHARED AMBITION.

World-class is the goal.
Open is the way.

Use the software. Read the code. Report a rough edge, improve a feature, or help build the next application. Starling is a software factory with room to keep growing.
