Gova Declarative Gui

aradotso/trending-skills

Gova lets you build native desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux using pure Go structs as components and explicit Scope-based state instead of hooks. You get hot reload via the CLI, platform-native dialogs that map to NSAlert and NSOpenPanel on Mac, and a single static binary from go build. The API sits on top of Fyne but hides it behind a declarative interface that feels more like SwiftUI than immediate-mode GUI code. Use it when you want cross-platform desktop tooling without Electron's weight or when you're already in the Go ecosystem and need something beyond terminal UIs. State persists across hot reloads, which makes iteration fast.

Gova Declarative GUI Framework

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Gova is a declarative GUI framework for Go that builds native desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single codebase. Views are plain Go structs, state is explicit via a Scope, and go build produces one static binary. Internally powered by Fyne (BSD-3), but the public API is stable and renderer-independent.

Install

go get github.com/nv404/gova@latest

Optional CLI:

go install github.com/nv404/gova/cmd/gova@latest

Prerequisites:

  • Go 1.26+
  • C toolchain: Xcode CLT (macOS), build-essential + libgl1-mesa-dev (Linux), MinGW (Windows)
