A Swift library for creating interactive walkthroughs and onboarding experiences in iOS apps with minimal code changes.
SwiftyWalkthrough is an open-source iOS library written in Swift that helps developers create interactive walkthroughs, tutorials, and onboarding experiences within their apps. It solves the problem of guiding users through app features by overlaying a customizable dimmed layer and exposing specific UI elements step-by-step, without requiring changes to the existing view hierarchy.
iOS developers building apps that require user onboarding, feature tutorials, or guided walkthroughs, particularly those using Swift and targeting iOS 9.0+.
Developers choose SwiftyWalkthrough for its simplicity and flexibility—it provides the core mechanics for blocking and exposing views while allowing full customization of the walkthrough UI, avoiding the complexity and rigidity of larger onboarding frameworks.
The easiest way to create a great walkthrough experience in your apps, powered by Swift.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Allows adding walkthroughs without altering the existing view hierarchy, as highlighted in the README for easy integration and maintenance.
Enables guiding users through steps across different view controllers, supporting complex onboarding flows without screen limitations.
Offers methods like cutHolesForViewDescriptors with padding and corner radius options for exact control over exposed UI elements.
Developers can subclass WalkthroughView to fully tailor the overlay's appearance and behavior, avoiding rigid templates as stated in the philosophy.
Requires significant custom UI development since it only provides the mechanism, not the design, increasing initial setup time.
The willInteractWithView delegate may be invoked multiple times in complex layouts, potentially causing performance issues or unexpected behavior as noted in the README.
Lacks built-in animations, gesture controls, or cloud sync, making it less suitable for highly interactive or scalable walkthrough needs.
