Struggling to wrap your head around SwiftUI? Libraried is your new best friend. With our ever-expanding collection of SwiftUI components, mastering this powerful framework has never been easier. Who's this app for? Developers, designers, and anyone with a SwiftUI itch to scratch. - DEVELOPER'S GOLDEN TICKET Scratching your head over that SwiftUI tutorial you just watched? Stuck in UIKit land but dying to dip your toes into SwiftUI without the project setup hassle? Seasoned SwiftUI pro with a case of syntax amnesia? Feast your eyes on our fully customizable components using native SwiftUI modifiers. Tweak options and watch the code transform before your eyes. It's like X-ray vision for SwiftUI! - DESIGNER'S DREAM GUIDE We get it, designers. You lose sleep over whether that font should be "Ultra Thin" or just "Thin". Browse our views, explore all the options, and find your pixel-perfect match. Oh, and that cryptic area at the bottom of the screen? Just pretend it's not there. (It's for the folks who whisper sweet nothings to their computers.) - CODE COPYING BONANZA Let's face it: if you can't copy the code, does it even exist? Developers, you know the drill. We won't tell, if you won't. Wink wink. Designers, next time a developer claims "it can't be done," just casually flick open that mysterious bottom section. Voila! Magical code appears. Send it their way and watch jaws drop. Whether you're slinging code or pushing pixels, our copy-paste wonderland is your new secret weapon. SwiftUI is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Source Files is a faster way to access GitHub, Gitea, GitLab and BitBucket from the Finder and Files app without having to clone repositories or commit changes. Using REST APIs instead of the traditional Git protocol you will be editing files in even the largest repositories in seconds: • Drag a repository URL to the Files app • Browse the directory that immediately appears • Open and Edit files in your favorite app Source Files is file oriented and making edits to 3 different files will result in 3 commits. It is possible to configure the app to work in a branch where a messy commit history is acceptable and merge changes back using pull requests. Consider using traditional Git clients like Working Copy or Tower for projects that need a tidy commit history in all branches. There is rich support for automation with Shortcuts actions to List, Download, Upload and Move files. Uploading files from the Mac services menu and share sheet is supported and very fast as target directories are remembered for different file types. The app is free to use with a single server. A Pro Unlock is required for multiple servers, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, with access shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A one-week free trial allows users to evaluate Pro features before purchase. Source Files is restricted by GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket API quotas that depend on your account privileges.
