I’ve been working on a small annotation processor library called Ktorgen, which aims to reduce boilerplate when writing Ktor client APIs. It works in a similar way to Retrofit, with just minor differences in headers and without requiring adapters, converters, or runtime overhead.
I just released version 0.4.0, which now includes multi-round KSP support, and it’s already available on Maven Central.
If anyone is interested in trying it out and sharing feedback, it would help me a lot to improve it 🙏

In the README I show examples of code, my library has all annotations of retrofit and ktorfit, only change Header annotation. Ktorfit has the problem when u need the processor to propagate annotations like RequiresOptIn or JvmSynthetic, and ktorfit have converters (similar to retrofit things) and my processor don't have any runtime overhead is 100% Ktor client, only generate the necessary code to avoid write boilerplate.
This has support for flow and result out of the box, and smart use documented in the repo.
