Project Overview

Native SDK is Vercel Labs' open-source toolkit for building fast, lightweight desktop apps with Zig. Views are declarative markup in .native files, logic is plain Zig, and Native SDK's own engine draws every pixel into real OS windows — no browser, no WebView.

Key Features

  • Build desktop apps with Zig
  • Declarative markup for views
  • Pure Zig logic, with TypeScript as an option
  • Fast and lightweight
  • Vercel ecosystem integration

Target Audience

  • Developers building desktop apps with Zig
  • Teams who want to integrate with the Vercel ecosystem

Quick Start

  1. Initialize a project with the CLI: native init my_app
  2. Or use the Zig template: native init my_app --template zig-core
  3. Build the app: native build
  4. Run the app

Core Advantages

  • Officially open-sourced by Vercel Labs
  • Built with Zig for excellent performance
  • Lightweight desktop app development
  • No browser, no WebView, no interpreter in the binary

System Requirements

  • OS: Cross-platform
  • Architectures: Target platform dependent
  • Additional Dependencies: Zig (managed by the CLI)

Notes
