Kotlin Multiplatform Development Help

Kotlin Multiplatform samples

This is a curated list of cross-platform projects created with Kotlin Multiplatform. Some share almost all their functionality using Compose Multiplatform for the user interface. Others use native code for the user interface and share, for example, only the data model and algorithms. To get started with a new Kotlin Multiplatform application, we recommend using the web wizard.

You can find even more sample projects on GitHub via the kotlin-multiplatform-sample topic. To explore the ecosystem as a whole, check out the kotlin-multiplatform topic. See the GitHub documentation to add your Kotlin Multiplatform project to these topics and help the community.
