I have no background or knowledge on this. I would like to make an app for performance engine building that has various pages with various formulas, unit conversions, tool lists, etc. What program do I use to make an app? I’ve seen Surge, Bevy, and Godot but those seem to be for games.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your helpful responses. Unfortunately I can only see the responses left on my post, not replys to top level responses. I think this is an instance problem and I’m trying to find out because I would love to see everyone’s comments. All is working now

    You can use IntelliJ Community to develop Android apps with an Android plugin.

      Android Studio is still free, while proprietary. And Intellij community is also proprietary, pretty much the same thing?

        IntelliJ has source available here under Apache-2 license. AFAIK only Pro edition is proprietary.

        Android Studio has no source but there is one for Android IntelliJ plugin here.

        Maybe I’m missing something but to me these cases are pretty different.
