A curated collection of awesome iOS UI/UX libraries for animations, components, and effects.
Awesome iOS UI is a curated directory of open-source iOS libraries focused on user interface and experience components. It solves the problem of discovering high-quality, reusable UI elements by providing a categorized list with visual demos and key metadata. Developers can quickly find libraries for animations, input controls, navigation, and visual effects to enhance their apps.
iOS developers (both Swift and Objective-C) looking to implement polished UI components without building them from scratch. It's especially useful for mobile app developers, UI/UX designers working with developers, and teams seeking to accelerate frontend development.
It saves significant research time by aggregating and vetting the best iOS UI libraries in one place. Unlike generic searches, it provides visual demos, license information, and clear categorization, ensuring developers can evaluate and choose components efficiently.
A curated list of awesome iOS UI/UX libraries
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Each library entry includes animated GIFs or images, allowing developers to see the component in action before exploring further, as shown in categories like Animations and Tab Bars.
Libraries are organized into specific sections such as Calendars, Notifications, and Side Menus, making it easy to browse by UI need without sifting through generic search results.
Lists programming language (Swift/Objective-C) and license for each library, helping developers quickly assess compatibility and legal requirements, as seen in every repo entry.
Accepts contributions via a separate metadata management tool (awesome-creator), ensuring the list can grow and improve with community input over time.
The list includes older libraries, such as many Objective-C projects, which may no longer be maintained or compatible with modern iOS versions, risking integration issues.
While curated, there are no ratings, reviews, or indicators of library stability or performance, leaving users to independently vet each option for reliability.
Focuses primarily on UIKit-based libraries and may not adequately cover newer SwiftUI components, which are increasingly important for contemporary iOS development.
