The Haiku Animator Alternative That Actually Ships React and Swift Code

Haiku Animator works — until you need to integrate it with React. Then you're writing wrappers, managing lifecycles, and fighting bundle size. ExodeUI was built from the ground up for React. No wrappers. No bloat.

Bundle Size Reality

Haiku Animator's runtime adds significant weight to your bundle. For a typical landing page with animations, Haiku Animator can add 100KB+ gzipped. ExodeUI's runtime is a few KB — because it renders native DOM elements rather than canvas.

For Indian users on limited data plans, this difference matters. Faster loads, lower data costs, better experience — all from a tool swap.

React + Haiku Animator = Complexity

Every React team that has integrated Haiku Animator knows the pattern: add the runtime, write a wrapper component, manage the lifecycle, sync application state with animation state. It works, but it adds complexity that compounds with every component.

ExodeUI eliminates this. The component IS the state machine. Your React state and your component's visual state are one and the same — because ExodeUI compiles to React hooks.

Ready to Make the Switch?

ExodeUI is free to start. No credit card required. If you're an Indian team currently paying for Haiku Animator and tired of the complexity, try ExodeUI for your next component. Start building at app.exodeui.com
