Rive

In plain words

Rive is a tool for creating and deploying interactive animations across apps, games, and websites. Designers use its collaborative editor to build motion graphics that respond to states and user inputs, then developers integrate them using open-source runtimes. It serves both designers and developers working on interactive content across multiple platforms.
