How can i use Essenty's Lifecycle with composables (multiplatform)? Should i have disposable and launched effects and manually link the events? (Not using Decompose, only Essenty)

Yes, you will have to drive the lifecycle manually. On Android you can get the lifecycle from the activity or fragment.

Also not sure about navigation. The lifecycle should follow I guess, and each screen should have its own lifecycle, perhaps.

In this case some helper function like

@Composable
fun lifeCycleComposable(
    content: @Composable LifecycleRegistry.() -> Unit
) {
    val registry = LifecycleRegistry()
    LaunchedEffect(Unit){
        registry.onCreate()
        registry.onStart()
    }
    DisposableEffect(Unit){
        onDispose {
            registry.onDestroy()
        }
    }
    with(registry){
        content()
    }
}

might be useful, right?
I'm trying to find a solution for destroying my viewmodels that i inject with koin because right now i think they're not being disposed, not sure i'm on the right track tho 😅

That's not so straightforward I guess. ViewModels are usually tied to the back stack.
