Lynx

Build with an App Framework

App frameworks built on Lynx offer a complete development experience for shipping a new native application end to end, with native navigation, lifecycle management, and production-ready tooling, ideal for Greenfield projects.

Sparkling
iOS
Android

Lynx at TikTok scale. Sparkling is TikTok's open-source mobile application framework built on Lynx, bringing the same cross-platform infrastructure that powers TikTok itself to developers. It pairs a type-safe JavaScript-to-native bridge with scheme-driven multi-page routing and project scaffolding, deploys to both iOS and Android from a single bundle, and is production-tested across TikTok's ecosystem. Visit the Sparkling documentation to get started.

Lynxtron Coming soon

Lynx for desktop. Lynxtron is the upcoming desktop counterpart, an Electron-like framework with a lightweight Lynx renderer that ships the same UI across macOS, Windows, and Web, extensible through Node-API native modules.


Development Tip

During development, you can use Lynx Explorer to quickly preview and iterate on your Lynx pages. Switch to the Try with Explorer approach to set it up.
