Roadmap

Where OpenRive is heading. Priorities follow community interest, so 👍 the matching issues or open a feature request.

Available today

• Design: artboards, parametric shapes, pen paths, groups, text, fills and strokes, gradients, trim paths, blend modes
• Assets: embedded images, SVG import to vector shapes, fonts
• Animation: timelines, auto-key, easing presets, curve editor and 1D blend states
• Interactivity: state machines, layers, property conditions, pointer listeners, custom Rive events, align-to-pointer actions and live preview
• Constraints: distance constraint authoring (closer than, farther than, exact distance)
• Theme colors with multiple themes
• Code panel: automation scripts and embed snippets
• CLI, MCP server (33 tools), REST API
• Local users and roles, sharing
• File storage or PostgreSQL, Docker Compose, migration tool

Next up

Area	Planned work
Rigging	Bone creation and editing, then skinning and weights
Constraints	Follow-path, IK, translation, rotation and scale constraint editing (preserved already)
Meshes	Image mesh deformation
Composition	Nested artboards editing, components
State machines	2D blend states, animation-authored events and richer event workflows
Data binding	Shape-property bindings, nested view models, enums, lists and data converters
Layouts	Rive layout (flexbox) editing
Text	Font subsetting to shrink files, text modifiers
Collaboration	Live multi-user editing on a self-hosted server
Export	GIF/MP4/WebM video export, sprite sheets

Ideas under discussion

• Plugin API for custom panels and importers
• Figma import (SVG already works)
• Localization of the UI and docs
