Gova

The declarative GUI framework for Go. Build native desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single Go codebase — typed components, reactive state, real platform dialogs, and one static binary. No JavaScript runtime, no embedded browser, no C++ toolchain to learn.

Why Gova?

• Components as structs. Views are plain Go structs with typed prop fields; defaults are zero values; composition is plain function calls. No magic property wrappers, no string keys, no hook-ordering rules.
• Explicit reactive scope. State, signals, and effects live on a Scope you can see. No hidden scheduler, no re-render surprises, no Rx, no Redux.
• Real native integrations where it matters. NSAlert, NSOpenPanel, NSSavePanel, and NSDockTile badge/progress/menu on macOS through cgo. Fyne fallbacks on Windows and Linux — same API everywhere.
• One static binary. go build produces a single executable. No JavaScript runtime, no embedded browser, no extra assets to bundle.
• Hot reload that actually reloads. gova dev watches Go files, rebuilds on save, and relaunches — with an opt-in PersistedState so UI state survives the reload.
• Built on Fyne, but Fyne stays internal. The public API is yours to rely on. We swap out renderer details without breaking your code.
