What is Electric UI?
Electric UI is a software platform designed to help engineers, researchers, and enthusiasts build cross-platform user interfaces for realtime hardware visualization and control. The platform offers high performance and low latency through direct local connections, eliminating the need for cloud services or gateway devices. It provides strong USB and serial support, enabling first-class graphical user interfaces with low-cost hardware products.
The platform features a flexible hinting engine that simplifies connection processes, detailed documentation with guides and tutorials, and production-grade components with GPU-accelerated realtime charting. Developers can use the MIT-licensed protocol or work with the team to integrate custom protocols, allowing for rapid development and deployment of white-label software solutions.

FAQs
-
What is the difference between Freelance and Commercial licenses?
Freelance licenses are for solo users building applications for products they design and sell, while Commercial licenses are for companies with multiple users who build UIs for clients, support various products, and require team accounts with CI/CD and priority support. -
Is there a trial available?
Yes, users can start the installation and tutorial process, and after email confirmation, they receive a one-month trial without a credit card. Commercial users can request additional trial conditions via email. -
Do you offer student or education discounts?
Students can use Electric UI unrestricted for personal or study-related projects by signing up with a .edu email address. Academic institutions can request bulk licenses. -
What about open source projects?
Open source licenses are available upon request for projects actively developed for more than three months.
