Accompanist is a group of libraries that aim to supplement Jetpack Compose with features that are commonly required by developers but not yet available.
Accompanist is a labs like environment for new Compose APIs. We use it to help fill known gaps in the Compose toolkit, experiment with new APIs and to gather insight into the development experience of developing a Compose library. The goal of these libraries is to upstream them into the official toolkit, at which point they will be deprecated and removed from Accompanist.
Compose versions
Each release outlines what version of the Compose libraries it depends on. We are currently releasing multiple versions of Accompanist for the different versions of Compose:
| Compose 1.0 (1.0.x) |  |
| Compose 1.1 (1.1.x) |  |
| Compose 1.2 (1.2.x) |  |
⚠️ Ensure you are using the Accompanist version that matches with your Compose version: If you upgrade Accompanist, it will upgrade your Compose version via transitive dependencies.

We will aim to provide a migration path (where possible), to whatever supersedes the functionality.
Snapshots
Snapshots of the current development version of Accompanist are available, which track the latest commit. See here for more information.
Why the name?
The library is all about adding some utilities around Compose. Music composing is done by a composer, and since this library is about supporting composition, the supporting role of an accompanist felt like a good name.
