Interactive animation tool producing real-time animations that ship straight into apps.
Why we recommend it
Unlike exported video or Lottie, Rive animations are stateful and interactive — they respond to input at runtime, which is what product motion actually needs.
Strengths
- Animations respond to real app state
- Tiny runtime file sizes
- Runtimes for web, iOS, Android and Flutter
Drawbacks
- State machine concepts take learning
- Requires developer integration
