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.

About

Charwork

Features
Read full description

Charwork is a wireframe tool that draws interfaces out of plain Unicode characters. Pick a component from the palette, place it on the character grid, and build up a layout the way you would sketch one on graph paper. Everything you make is just text, so you can paste it into a README, a code comment, a design doc, a ticket, or a chat message and it renders anywhere a monospace font does. FEATURES - 23 component presets: buttons, inputs, selects, checkboxes, radios, toggles, tables, modals, browser frames, cards, navbars, tabs, progress bars, icons, images, dividers, alerts, breadcrumbs, avatars, lists, steppers, ratings, and skeletons - A 100 x 50 character canvas with click-to-place positioning - Hover preview, so you see where a component lands before committing to it - Undo and redo up to 50 steps - Export to a .txt file or copy the whole canvas to the clipboard - Works entirely offline; nothing you draw leaves your device Charwork does not collect any data, require an account, or show ads.
