What is it?
awesome-gpui is a curated list of open-source projects built with or for GPUI, the GPU-accelerated UI framework for Rust. It is organized into sections for developer tools, productivity apps, media players and editors, system utilities, demos, UI component libraries, and supporting tooling such as devtools and app generators.
Each entry shows a short description, star count, and an activity indicator based on how recently the project was updated, along with archived status. The list makes it easier to find existing GPUI-based apps, component libraries like gpui-component, and building blocks for desktop Rust development.
The repository is maintained by the Zed team and serves as a reference for developers exploring what has been built on GPUI.
