Dear imgui
summary
Dear ImGui is an immediate-mode C++ GUI that rebuilds the entire UI every frame, claiming faster iteration for tools and real-time sims at the cost of constant CPU work. Setup is three simple calls per loop: NewFrame / process events / Render, drop in the library source and use provided DirectX or OpenGL bindings from the GitHub repo. The library ships usable widgets, shows up in a rendering-timeline example, and is effective for rapid prototyping and realtime visualization.
