Unrealm
Unrealm enables storing Swift native types (structs, classes, enums) in Realm databases without inheriting from Object.
What is Unrealm?
Unrealm is a Swift library that extends RealmCocoa to allow storing native Swift types—such as structs, classes, and enums—directly in Realm databases. It solves the problem of being forced to inherit from Realm's Object class, enabling a more natural Swift development experience with protocol-oriented design.
iOS and macOS developers using Realm for local persistence who want to use Swift-native types like structs and enums without the limitations of Realm's Object inheritance.
Developers choose Unrealm because it eliminates boilerplate code, reduces Realm-related crashes (like thread access issues), and integrates seamlessly with Swift's Codable and optional types, making Realm usage more Swift-idiomatic.
Overview
Unrealm is an extension on RealmCocoa, which enables Swift native types to be saved in Realm.
