Kite

Kite Compositor provides a native macOS environment for designing UI animations and interactive prototypes. Users assemble interfaces by dragging and dropping layers onto a WYSIWYG canvas, then define motion using an integrated timeline that supports keyframe editing and snapping for precise timing. The inspector panel lets designers adjust layer properties, colors, animation curves, and Core Image filters with a few clicks, while a library feature enables reuse of layer hierarchies and animation components across projects.

Developers can extend the tool with a built‑in JavaScript scripting environment, adding custom logic and behavior to interactions and generating native Core Animation code for iOS and macOS. This workflow bridges design and implementation, allowing detailed control over animation parameters and direct export of production‑ready code.

The application targets designers who need visual prototyping and developers who require precise, code‑generating animation workflows on Apple platforms, offering a combination of drag‑and‑drop UI construction, timeline‑based animation tuning, and scriptable customization.
