 Abstract: We present a software package called VPLanet that can simulate numerous aspects of planetary system evolution for billions of years, with a focus on habitable worlds. In this initial version, eleven independent models for internal, atmospheric, rotational, orbital, stellar, and galactic processes are included and coupled to self-consistently simulate terrestrial planets, gaseous planets, and stars. We describe these models and reproduce observations and/or past results. In our framework, only the relevant physics is applied to each member of the system, facilitating the rapid simulation of a wide range of planetary systems. A key feature of VPLanet is that the user can determine at runtime which physics to apply to an individual object, so a single executable can simulate the diverse phenomena that are important across a wide range of planetary and stellar systems. This flexibility is enabled by matrices and vectors of function pointers that are dynamically allocated and populated based on user input. VPLanet is publicly available and the repository contains extensive documentation and numerous examples, with code integrity maintained through continuous integration and periodic scanning for memory issues.
