BESS (Basic Electrical Simulation Software) is an open-source circuit simulator designed to be accessible, modern, and cross-platform.

The project began as an attempt to remove the barriers students often face when working with existing tools. Many popular circuit simulators are proprietary, restricted to a single operating system, or rely on outdated interfaces. BESS was created to provide a free, user-friendly, and modern alternative that works consistently across platforms. Its goal is to make learning and experimenting with circuits simpler and more approachable for everyone.

Check out [Bess Wiki](https://github.com/shivang51/bess/wiki) to see available components.
> Only digital components are there for now, analog components are planned for future.
