CometChat Flutter UI Kit V5: Refined Chat Experience for Flutter Applications

Anant Garg • May 5, 2025

Today, we're excited to release a new version of our Flutter UI Kit. It’s built on a redesigned architecture that’s easier to work with, and it looks and feels more like today’s best messaging apps. This version gives developers more control, better performance, and a cleaner starting point for building chat features.

Why This Matters

Modern users expect chat apps to feel smooth, fast, and polished—like WhatsApp, Slack, or Telegram. But Flutter developers often face a trade-off: either spend a lot of time building custom components or use off-the-shelf UIs that already feel dated.

This new release fixes that. We've rebuilt every part of the kit to match the quality and flexibility of top-tier apps—without making integration harder.

Superior Design Through Technical Excellence

This is more than just an update—it’s a full redesign of how chat UIs should look and work in Flutter. Every piece has been carefully improved to deliver a high-end visual experience, while handling the real-world challenges of chat apps.

You get pixel-perfect visuals, smooth animations, and layouts that respond intelligently. With version 5, your Flutter chat interface can now feel just as polished as a dedicated messaging app.

We’ve paid close attention to typography, spacing, transitions, and responsiveness to help your app look clean, modern, and consistent.

Theming and Customization

Version 5 introduces a much more flexible theming system, giving you full control over how your chat interface looks. Whether you just need to match your brand or want a completely custom UI, the new design token system supports both.

At a global level, you can control color schemes, typography, spacing, and animations. At the widget level, you can fine-tune every detail—so it’s easy to create a tailored, on-brand experience.

Because it's built on a strong architecture, all your customizations stay consistent across your Flutter app, making the whole experience feel polished and unified.
