Overview

Haze is a library providing a 'glassmorphism' style blur for Compose.

Haze is built with Compose Multiplatform, meaning that it supports different platforms:

Platform	Supported
Android	✅
Desktop (JVM)	✅
iOS	✅
Wasm	✅
JS/Canvas	✅

You can also see it in action in the Tivi app:

Versions

There are currently 2 different versions available: 0.7.x (stable) and 0.9.x (pre-release).

The 0.9.x release depends on Compose Multiplatform 1.7.0, currently pre-release, meaning that we need to wait for that to go stable before Haze can go stable. The 0.9.x release also contains a near full re-write of how Haze works underneath. More information can be found on the Migrating to 0.9 page.

Acknowledgements

In previous versions, the Skia-backed implementation (used on iOS and Desktop) is heavily influenced by Kirill Grouchnikov's explorations on Compose Desktop. He wrote about it in his Shader based render effects in Compose Desktop with Skia blog post.

The Android implementation is inspired by the techniques documented by Chet Haase and Nader Jawad in the RenderNode for Bigger, Better Blurs blog post.

Thank you all.
