Aurora IMUI is a collection of ready-made chat interface components for mobile apps. It gives developers the visual building blocks for a messaging screen: a scrollable list of messages and an input bar where users can type, record audio, pick photos, or shoot a video. The library works on Android, iOS, and React Native, so a team building for multiple platforms can reuse the same concepts across all three. The message list handles several content types out of the box: plain text, images, voice clips, and video. Each message in the list responds to taps and long-presses, and the library includes support for showing user profile pictures next to messages. The input area includes a voice recording button, a photo album picker, and a camera shortcut for capturing new media. One important design choice is that Aurora IMUI does not tie itself to any particular chat backend or messaging service. It only handles the visual layer. That means you can plug it into whatever server or real-time communication system your app already uses, or build something new, without the library imposing any constraints on how messages are sent and received. The project ships with a default visual style and also lets developers customize the look to match their app. A companion repository called aurora-imui-examples provides sample projects showing the components in action. The library is released under the MIT license, which allows free use in both personal and commercial projects.
