Flet CLI
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Flet CLI is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, and has low install friction. If you are building or deploying Flet applications, this is the standard tooling for the framework. The Apache-2.0 license poses no restrictions. Install it if you plan to use Flet; skip it if you are not working with that framework.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- The package is actively maintained with a recent release and a well-established upstream repository (16577 stars).

What it is and what it does
Flet CLI is a command-line companion to the Flet framework, providing scaffolding and lifecycle management for Python-based multi-platform applications. It handles project creation, local execution, and packaging workflows, abstracting away boilerplate setup so developers can focus on application logic.
The tool depends on a standard Python ecosystem stack—watchdog for file monitoring, cookiecutter for templating, qrcode for QR generation, and rich for terminal output formatting. It targets Python 3.10 and later, reflecting modern language features. The package is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Bootstrap a new Flet application project with standard structure and dependencies.
- Run a Flet app locally during development with automatic reload on file changes.
- Package a Flet application for distribution across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Generate QR codes for sharing or embedding in Flet applications.
- Manage multi-platform app configuration and deployment from a single CLI interface.
