Segmentio
Animated top/bottom segmented control for iOS written in Swift with extensive customization options.
What is Segmentio?
Segmentio is an animated segmented control component for iOS applications written in Swift. It provides a visually appealing way to switch between different content sections with smooth animations and extensive customization options. The component solves the need for polished, production-ready segmented controls that go beyond Apple's basic UISegmentedControl.
iOS developers building applications that require visually appealing segmented controls with animations and custom styling. Particularly useful for developers creating apps with custom UI designs who need more flexibility than Apple's native segmented control provides.
Developers choose Segmentio for its smooth animations, extensive customization capabilities, and production-ready implementation. Unlike basic segmented controls, it offers animated transitions, flexible positioning, and comprehensive styling options while maintaining a simple API that's easy to integrate into iOS projects.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Provides smooth indicator animations when switching segments, enhancing user experience with polished UI effects as demonstrated in the preview GIF.
Offers full control over colors, fonts, separators, and indicator styles through the SegmentioOptions struct, enabling detailed UI tailoring.
Supports both top and bottom positioning, and dynamic or fixed segment widths via SegmentioPosition, allowing adaptability for various app layouts.
Each segment can display both images and text labels, making it versatile for different design needs without limiting to text-only options.
Cons
Built for UIKit and lacks native SwiftUI support, requiring wrappers for modern projects, which adds integration complexity.
Setup involves multiple structs like SegmentioOptions and SegmentioStates, making it more cumbersome than simpler segmented controls.
The README only confirms compatibility up to Swift 5, with no mention of recent updates, raising questions about long-term support and bug fixes.
