Compose Material Catalog

What Compose Material Catalog does

Compose Material Catalog is a reference and demonstration app for Android developers working with Jetpack Compose and Material components. It lets you browse interface components, view them in working examples, and see how they behave in a real app rather than relying only on screenshots or documentation. It is best suited to developers building or learning modern Android user interfaces.

What you can explore

• Component examples: Browse a range of Material UI elements and open examples that show their appearance and interaction.
• Practical navigation: Move from the main catalog to component details and example screens, making it easier to compare different parts of the library.
• Theme controls: Switch between light and dark themes and adjust theme-related settings while inspecting the interface.
• Interactive behavior: Use working demonstrations to see state changes and other interactions that static design references cannot show.

Who it suits

This is a developer-facing utility rather than a general-purpose app. It can help when choosing a Compose component, checking how a Material pattern behaves, or comparing an interface in different themes. It is also useful for learners who want a visual starting point before reading or writing the underlying Compose code. The presentation is deliberately focused on browsing examples and inspecting UI behavior.

Rating and reach

Compose Material Catalog is published by Google LLC in the Libraries & Demo category. Its rating is 3.85 out of 5 from 857 reviews, alongside an install range of 100,000+. That combination suggests meaningful adoption, while the review volume gives the score more context than a high rating based on only a handful of responses. For a niche reference app, the install figure indicates that it has reached a substantial Android developer audience.
