      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

      Lynx for desktop. Lynxtron is an Electron-like desktop framework with a lightweight Lynx renderer that ships the same UI across macOS, Windows, and Web, extensible through Node-API native modules. Follow Lynxtron Quick Start to create your first application.

      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.
