Overview
Klutter is a Flutter package that enables developers to write native plugins for Android and iOS using Kotlin exclusively, eliminating the need for Java or Swift. It streamlines cross-platform plugin development by allowing Kotlin code to be shared across platforms, improving maintainability and reducing boilerplate. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s plugin architecture and supports additional platforms like macOS, Windows, and Linux. By leveraging Kotlin’s modern syntax and features, Klutter enhances developer productivity while maintaining high performance and platform-specific capabilities.
