amvrunt

Amvrunt is a cross‑platform integrated development environment (IDE) for building mobile and web applications. The project was first announced in late 2022 by a consortium of open‑source contributors led by the Finnish company QuantumBit Labs. The initial release, version 1.0, appeared in March 2023 and introduced a modular plugin architecture that allows developers to add or remove language support and tools at runtime.

Core features of Amvrunt include a code editor with syntax highlighting for JavaScript, TypeScript, Dart, and Kotlin, a visual UI builder that generates platform‑specific layouts, and a built‑in debugging engine that can attach to both Android and iOS simulators. The IDE also provides an integrated version‑control client, a task runner, and a package manager that connects directly to npm, pub.dev, and Maven Central. Amvrunt ships with a minimalist license that permits both commercial and non‑commercial use.

Since its release, Amvrunt has gained traction among indie developers and educational institutions. In 2024 it was adopted as the default IDE in the introductory mobile‑app course at the University of Tampere. Community contributions continue to extend support for emerging frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, and SwiftUI. The project’s roadmap focuses on improving performance, adding a cloud‑based collaboration suite, and expanding its set of native widgets. The source code is hosted on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, and the project welcomes input through issue reports and pull requests.
