An animation library for React and vanilla JS with springs, layout and gestures.
Motion, formerly Framer Motion, is Matt Perry's open-source animation library for React, JavaScript and Vue, combining hardware-accelerated browser APIs with springs, gestures and layout animation. Its API covers independent transforms, scroll-linked animation, exit animations through AnimatePresence, variants and timelines, with 460+ copy-paste examples, an agent skill and an MCP server. It is MIT licensed, used by Framer and Figma, and sits underneath many of the animated component libraries in this directory.
