Rive

Build interactive animations for apps and games

FreemiumFree TierAdded Sep 1, 2020

About

Rive is a design tool for creating interactive animations that run in real-time in your apps, games, and websites. Designers create animations in Rive's editor, and developers implement them using lightweight runtimes for Flutter, React, iOS, Android, and more. Unlike Lottie, Rive animations are truly interactive and can respond to user input and state changes.

Origin Story

By Guido Rosso & Matt Sullivan

The Problem

Animation in apps was either static (Lottie files that just play) or required heavy game engines. There was no good tool for interactive, state-driven animations.

Building It

Started as Flare for Flutter, then rebuilt as Rive to support all platforms. The new editor and runtime architecture launched around 2020-2021.

What It Means

Bridging the gap between design and development for interactive animation — designers create, developers implement, users interact.

The Dream

To make interactive animation as easy to create and implement as static images.
