Material 3 Expressive for Jetpack Compose

Material 3 Expressive is the next evolution of Material Design, bringing emotionally resonant, physics-based, and highly dynamic UI patterns to Android. It introduces spring-based motion, shape morphing, emphasized typography, expressive color palettes, and 28 new or enhanced components.

All M3 Expressive APIs are experimental. Every composable, theme function, and motion token requires @OptIn(ExperimentalMaterial3ExpressiveApi::class).
