Compose Material Catalog

What Compose Material Catalog does

Compose Material Catalog is a working showcase of Material components for Jetpack Compose. It lets Android developers browse interface elements, open practical examples, and see how those elements behave in a real app rather than relying only on written documentation or static images. It is aimed at developers building or learning modern Android interfaces, not general users looking for a standalone productivity tool.

A reference you can explore

The catalog groups its material components into a browsable collection, with examples that make common UI patterns easier to compare. Developers can inspect buttons, menus, navigation elements, layout pieces and other building blocks in context. Interactive demonstrations are particularly useful when a component has changing states or user actions that are difficult to understand from a screenshot.

• Browse Material components through a dedicated catalog.
• Open examples to see components working in an app-like setting.
• Compare light and dark themes while reviewing interface behaviour.
• Use the app as a visual aid when planning a Compose-based screen.

Who should install it

This is most useful for Android developers, students learning Jetpack Compose, and designers who need a quick visual reference for Material UI. It can also help teams agree on suitable components before implementation. It is less relevant if you are looking for a consumer-facing app, since its purpose is demonstration and reference rather than daily task management.

At a glance

Published by Google LLC in Libraries & Demo, the app has a rating of about 3.9 out of 5 from 857 reviews and is listed with 100,000+ installs. Those figures suggest a useful audience among developers, while the catalog itself is best judged as a practical companion for exploring Compose Material components.
