GORT

A neobrutalist design system for Compose Multiplatform.

Bold. Loud. Unapologetic.

Gort is an opinionated UI component library that replaces Material 3 with thick borders, hard offset shadows, flat colors, and monospace type. Built on Compose Foundation — no Material dependency. Works on Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web.

Named after the 8-foot robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).

Install

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("zone.clanker:gort:<version>")
}

Quick Start

GortTheme {
    Button(onClick = { }) {
        Text("LAUNCH")
    }
}

Custom Theme

Swap the colors. Keep the structure. It still looks good.

GortTheme(
    colors = GortColors.light(
        primary = Color(0xFF8B5CF6),   // your brand
        secondary = Color(0xFF10B981),
    )
) {
    // All components now use your palette
    // but stay neobrutalist
}

Accessibility

One-line toggle to OpenDyslexic for dyslexia-friendly reading:

GortTheme(
    typography = GortTypography.openDyslexic()
) {
    // All text now uses OpenDyslexic font
}

Philosophy

Material 3 is fine. It's also everywhere. Every Compose app looks the same.

Gort is for apps that refuse to blend in.
