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.
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.
