Frameworks
A framework is a set of Ren'Py script files that adds large amounts of new functionality to Ren'Py. At the cost of having to learn the (potentially idiosyncratic) way the framework does things, using a framework lets you create new types of games with Ren'Py.
These frameworks are not part of Ren'Py proper, and are supported by their creators.
DSE (Dating Sim Engine)
The dating sim engine provides a framework for creating dating-sim style games. It consists of two parts: A day planner that lets the user pick classes of events that occur during the day, and an event manager that chooses which events should be presented to the user. Documentation can be found on the DSE page.

SoftKeyboard
The soft keyboard engine provides a software keyboard allows the user to input text by clicking on the keys displayed on the screen.

Documentation can be found on the SoftKeyboard page.
