Qt
MacCross-platform framework for hybrid & native app development
Overview
Qt is a robust cross-platform framework empowering developers to build hybrid, native, and embedded applications using a single codebase. It supports C++, QML, and web tech integration for hybrid apps, paired with tools like Qt Creator for streamlined development. Qt runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, mobile (iOS/Android), and IoT devices, delivering consistent UI/UX across platforms. Its modular architecture enables component reuse, cutting development time. Suitable for both commercial and open-source projects, Qt balances performance and flexibility, making it ideal for building responsive, feature-rich apps from small utility tools to large-scale enterprise solutions.
