Mufiy

Mufiy is a cross-platform UI framework written in C#. It keeps the WinForms designer workflow: design forms in Visual Studio, then build applications for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and WebAssembly from one C# codebase.

Open-source plan: Mufiy is currently in a pre-release stage before 1.0. The source code is not yet publicly available; the project will be open-sourced when the version reaches 1.0.

Compatibility note: Mufiy is not a 1:1 reimplementation of WinForms; control property and method names differ. A compatibility package will be provided later to achieve a 1:1 WinForms reimplementation.

Status

  • Current version: 0.0.4
  • Designer support primarily targets Visual Studio 2026 and later
  • Visual Studio 2022 only provides WinForms designer support (no MXAML preview) and only supports desktop projects
  • VS Code and Rider will provide MXAML preview and a WinForms-like designer after 1.0

Platforms and Target Frameworks

Mufiy primarily targets modern .NET and provides stable support for .NET 10.0 and later. .NET 6.0 and .NET 8.0 are retained only for special runtime environments and are limited to desktop platforms.

Platform Target Framework (TFM) Notes
Windows / Linux / macOS net6.0 / net8.0 / net10.0 Desktop runtime
Android net10.0-android Requires the .NET Android workload
iOS Not yet released Platform adapter is still in development
WebAssembly net10.0 Runs in the browser
Visual Studio designer net6.0-windows / net8.0-windows / net10.0-windows Designer-only; not a runtime target
