PeasyGUI
A lightweight and generic GUI for any programming language.

Design your layout with the built-in editor, then launch the GUI from your app. Communication between GUI and app happens via simple string exchange:

  • File-based via temp directory OR
  • TCP socket where PeasyGUI is the server

    No installation required: just extract and run.

    Unlike large frameworks, PeasyGUI focuses on essential widgets and properties – ideal for quick prototypes or beginners. No need to hand over control flow to a GUI main loop.
