Fyne v2.8 released with GPU shapes, richer text and lots more...

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0100

We are delighted to announce the release of Fyne v2.8.0! This is our biggest release for some time - more than 1,000 commits from 39 contributors, touching over 800 files across the toolkit.

Three headline features lead the way: a much richer set of GPU accelerated drawing primitives, a RichText widget that understands far more Markdown, and new window APIs for developers building on multi-monitor desktops. Let’s take a look.

The app listing aims to be a place to showcase and also to inspire - you can see what is possible and understand how the apps were built.

Every app is open source and freely available to use, modify and enhance. So why not check them out - and if you build a cool app consider submitting it to be added to the list.

The Fyne project and community continues to grow thanks to the many contributions from people around the world. Of course an endeavour of this size would not be possible without the hard work of teams that have created essential re-usable components that we can build upon. It’s for that reason that we want to be able to give something back to those projects that make each of our releases possible.

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 09:21:00 +0000

Something big is coming to the Fyne universe - better performance, smoother animations and removing race conditions all in one bumper release!

All this goodness requires substantial change internally and we have done a lot of work to make this happen. It could have been a breaking release - but we have created a migration path that should mean that all apps just continue to work.

However this is a big jump and we are asking the community to help us test - using your apps. This is the first time we have ever tagged a release from our development branch.

Fyne Book Published

As well as the release of version 2.0.0 this week brings exciting news that the first book dedicated to Fyne has been published! Pre-orders will be on their way to purchasers already and anyone who missed the chance to buy in advance can now get a copy from the publisher.

This book covers most aspects of building a Fyne app, including the new APIs introduced in the recent release. It will step you through getting started with Fyne and how to build an app using the toolkit all the way through to uploading your software to market places and App Stores.

Introducing Fyne v2.0.0

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:43:00 +0000

The v2.0.0 release of Fyne marks a big advance in the development of our project. This was a chance to step back, see what was working well and what could be improved - and then make the changes in a way that had not been possible whilst maintaining 1.0 API compatibility. As a result there are some breaking changes that help to point the toolkit in a better direction for the future. Additionally this means that the import path has now changed to fyne.io/fyne/v2 following the go module convention.

fyne-cross v1 Released

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 11:17:21 +0000

An early holiday present from the Fyne team - the v1 release of fyne-cross. This excellent app has had a long history of development, but today marks the official 1.0.0 release following it’s recent promotion to an official Fyne project.

Packaging for all platforms
#

The fyne-cross tool provides an easier way to compile your Fyne app for all possible target operating systems. Instead of manaing the toolchains manually on your development computer it uses the Docker environment to load the required development tools automatically.

v1.4 Released

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:23:19 +0000

After a lot of hard work from a dedicated team we are excited to announce release 1.4 of the Fyne toolkit. This is a huge update with some great new functionality and it paves the way for some bigger changes in 2.0 early in 2021.

Nearly 700 commits from 15 different contributors has made this a bumper release. A comprehensive list of new features appears later, but first let’s explore two big changes.

v1.3 Released

Fri, 05 Jun 2020 18:39:32 +0100

It is finally here, the 1.3 release is out and ready for you to start building against! If you were waiting for file dialogs, notifications, accordion, splitter or textgrid widgets this is your lucky day. You can also find new APIs for showing splash windows, image scaling and the ability to set cursor and keyboard hints in custom widgets.

This release includes over 1000 commits and represents months of very hard work. Our dedicated contributors have balanced coding, testing and all the challenges that life in lockdown threw at them as well.

At this difficult time we wanted to take a moment to thank whole heartedly all the generous sponsors of our Fyne project.

All of us in the Fyne community hope your friends, families, and colleagues are well. This is a difficult time for everyone and we appreciate the support of our sponsors and community members to keep the project pushing forward.

Impact on planned releases
#

Unfortunately a number of our core development team have been unwell and/or had to look after family members over the last months. We know that a lot of teams have been impacted by the recent outbreaks around the world and our thoughts are with them. Hopefully those of you who are relying on Fyne for their software development will understand as we re-structure our plans to accommodate ongoing uncertainty.

Now on GitHub Sponsors

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 12:58:33 +0000

Today the Fyne team are celebrating because we have been accepted onto the GitHub Sponsors programme! A number of our developers have been receiving sponsorship for a few months (thanks very much to all of those who supported their time on the project). Now that we have organisation approval it means that you can sponsor the whole team for the ongoing work we do as a group.

For small contributions your funding will support general expenses of the project - web hosting, event costs and promotional materials (and stickers!). For sponsors who are kind enough to support feature development or bug fixing we will make sure that 75% of your contribution goes to the core developers who do the work, making sure that everyone benefits.

Build an App in Just Hours (not Days or Weeks)

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 18:43:21 +0000

We have posted many times about how Fyne is designed to be easy to learn and fast to develop with. Presentations, meetups and our own conference have discussed the topic and it remains very important to the design of the toolkit.

That said there has not been much time put in to showing how to build more than simple demo applications, so it seemed wise to rectify the imbalance.

PixelEdit
#

And so in preparation for the Go developer room at FOSDEM we spent 4 hours creating a simple application. This application, PixelEdit, was designed to show how to use built in functionality, with a single custom widget to expand on the builtin components. As well as this it should have good test coverage and a well organised project showing how to keep separation of concerns in a graphical application context. And here is what 4 hours work created:

What a Fyne Year!

Fri, 03 Jan 2020 11:49:17 +0000

Goodness, 2019 was such a big year that we thought it would be worth a quick reflection. 9 releases (3 major), 37 contributors, 7300 stargazers on GitHub and a conference live streamed on YouTube - this year had it all! And maybe 2020 could be even bigger…

First release
#

That’s right - 2019 was the year of our first release, 1.0. It was the first time that Go had a full widget library built specifically for the language that delivered native speed for desktop applications across macOS, Windows and Linux.

1.2 Mobile Support

Fri, 13 Dec 2019 15:53:07 +0000

The 1.2 release of the fyne toolkit marks an exciting milestone in the project as we now support building for iOS and Android devices as well as macOS, Windows, Linux and BSD. We also vastly improved the developer experience for creating your own widgets and extending existing widgets to add custom functionality.

It’s been a massive journey to get to this point and nearly 500 commits of work from our community got us there. We hope that you are as excited as us to be able to easily build beautiful native apps for both desktop and mobile devices with simple Fyne code.

We don’t normally post about work in progress but on this “Fyne Friday” it was just too good to share. To date we have been building an easy to use (as a developer and an end user) toolkit for desktop apps. Of course we have already had ambitions to help make apps across all popular operating systems… but that was some time away right?

Mobile
#

Well today the exciting news is that we have the Fyne toolkit working on iOS and Android devices. That means that any Fyne based application can be run on these mobile devices by simply compiling additional binaries from the same source code.

A Fyne Update

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

An update on the Fyne GUI framework.

v1.1 Released

Fri, 21 Jun 2019 10:44:31 +0100

The 1.1 release of Fyne brings us a step closer to a complete cross-platform UI toolkit. We have new widgets and great enhancements to the look and feel of the overall platform that will make all apps built with Fyne look that much more attractive. We have also fixed over 50 bugs that help make these apps even more reliable than before.

The highlights of this release include new widgets:

v1.0.1 Released

Sat, 20 Apr 2019 22:48:23 +0100

The v1.0.1 release available today is primarily a bugfix release from feedback and patches received after initial announcement. The following functionality was also added:

Add support for go modules
Allow transparent backgrounds for widgets
Add Entry.OnCursorChanged()
Add Radio.Append() and Radio.SetSelected() (#229)
Remove duplicate options from a Radio widget (#230)

The bug fixes are primarily relating to clearing caches and avoiding race conditions (#194, #217, #209). The list of fixes includes the following:

First Major Release

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 10:05:02 +0000

The first release of Fyne marks a milestone for the project. We now have a stable and performant base API. Moving forward we are excited to add new features and enhancements that have been requested over the months of development.

The main features of Fyne at this time are:

Canvas API (rect, line, circle, text, image)
Widget API (box, button, check, entry, form, group, hyperlink, icon, label, progress bar, radio, scroller, tabs and toolbar)
Light and dark themes
Pointer, key and shortcut APIs (generic and desktop extension)
OpenGL driver for Linux, macOS and Windows
Tools for embedding data and packaging releases

The entire toolkit is developed using scalable graphics so that it looks clean and crisp on different devices and screen densities. This release only supports desktop applications but watch this space :).

Building a Cross Platform GUI with Go

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 11:53:12 +0000

There are many tutorials available online for how to use web technologies and Go - but what if you want to create something in pure Go? Whether it’s for performance reasons, to keep all of your application in just one programming language or simply because you like Go over Javascript and HTML there are solutions available. Go bindings exist for GTK+, Qt, Windows, Nuklear and also platform abstraction bindings like andlabs UI.

In this tutorial we look at a newer approach - building a graphical application using a toolkit built specifically for go using a modern interpretation of the desktop user interface. The Fyne toolkit is a simple to learn graphical toolkit that we can use to build cross platform applications that will compile for macOS, Windows and Linux from the same code. We will explore how to get set up, write a basic application and then package it for distribution. Let’s get started!

2 Drivers and other Statistics

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 21:21:34 +0600

As GitHub recently emailed me with congratulations on 500 commits in Fyne I thought it was time for a quick review of statistics… The project has been under way now for 9 months and we have come a long way from the initial idea. In fact we have:

500 Commits
215 Star gazers
13 Forks
4 Contributors
2 Drivers

What a few months it’s been! Yes the project is gaining momentum and we’re seeing cool new example apps - but the biggest news is the additional driver. We now have a fully functioning OpenGL based driver that can replace the EFL dependency.

100 Stargazers

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 15:53:52 +0100

It’s been a while since posting on the Fyne blog so I thought I should update on progress. I went to the GitHub page to check the issues, pull requests and project status to see where everything was at. And then I noticed a much larger number than I remember in the repository summary.

Yup, it was the “Stargazers” number - how many GitHub users have starred the repository. We hit 100 when I wasn’t looking :). 8 months after the project started and there are 115 people have marked the project as one they are interested in. It may not be the largest number by any means, and there is a long way to go before we have got the engagement that we reckon can be achieved with this project… But hey - it’s faster than any other project I have worked on (including some larger community efforts too!).

Running on Gemini

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 22:52:25 +0100

Sorry there have not been many updated here recently - we are looking at lots of other GUI toolkits in Go to get inspiration for the best Fyne possible. Part of this project is looking at bundling, distribution and embedded platforms. And luckily my Gemini indigogo purchase just arrived!

And so I wanted to share with you the Fyne example application running on this fantastic piece of hardware. The base OS is Debian so there was not a log of adaptation necessary. With the next updated to the platform this should work out of the box, but for now it did require a little tweaking for old Go and EFL packages. We’re not sure if this backport is valuable to anyone or if the proof of concept is all we need to push forward toward the release date of the next Gemini Debian Linux release.

Drawing a Desktop

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 22:03:15 +0100

As part of our vision to create a beautiful desktop experience we have spent a lot of time setting up the new Fyne graphical toolkit. That project has got to a point now where we can start to use it’s capability to start work on the desktop we’ve been dreaming of! Not only is it part of our goals it is also a great way to test the graphical toolkit as it builds out.

Fun with Fractals: Multithreading for Free!

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 12:06:46 +0000

One of the challenges of using (or writing) a GUI toolkit is concurrency and thread safety. It may not be immediately obvious but threads and concurrent execution are everywhere: you need a renderer to keep the interface looking correct, some event handling to manage user input, a main thread to control the lifecycle of the application and probably more… Even the simplest of apps - a hello world window with a quit button - would potentially spawn a thread to handle the click event.

Looking for Contributors

Sat, 24 Mar 2018 22:41:27 +0000

Six weeks into the Fyne project and the basics are all in place! We were tracking the initial phases through the GitHub project Walking Skeleton and the tasks completed a short while ago. Since then the work has been focussed on documentation, the project roadmap and API documentation.

Now things are up and running there’s so much to do. Design, widgets, layout and a richer canvas are all needed to get to the first milestone “UI Toolkit”. With our outlined vision and the documentation in place it should be easy for new developers, designers and testers to get involved.

Platform Trifecta

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 21:55:43 +0000

You heard right - 3 platforms in only 3 weeks. Fyne now supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows! Using the EFL for rendering has meant that getting up and running across multiple platforms has been possible even before our first milestone. Having all of them under our belt already means that we’re already in a good position to welcome developers from many backgrounds.

To show off the progress so far the examples repository has now got a calculator app. This works exactly as expected across all supported platfors (well it would - the code is identical!) and looks pretty decent as well. A basic colour scheme was loaded from the material design guidelines in 2 variants - light and dark. So any Fyne app can look great on a light or a dark themed desktop.

The First 10 Days of Fyne

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 20:18:05 +0000

It’s been just 10 days since the Fyne project was announced and in that time we’ve had a lot of support! The IRC channel, which we added only a week ago, now has a core group of developers helping to discuss and guide the design of the toolkit. The website is up and running to help visitors understand what the project is about and see our progress. For the more developer oriented there is now a walking skeleton project which is tracking progress towards our first milestone.
