Read full description

Graphica turns abstract graph theory into something you can actually see. Build your own graphs or load sample ones, then watch nine classic algorithms run step by step โ€” from breadth-first and depth-first search to Dijkstra's shortest path and minimum spanning tree algorithms like Kruskal's and Prim's. FEATURES โ€ข 9 graph algorithms, visualized step by step โ€ข Pinch-to-zoom canvas for graphs of any size โ€ข Synchronized pseudocode panel โ€” see exactly which line is executing โ€ข Ready-made sample graphs to explore immediately โ€ข Build and edit your own custom graphs โ€ข Fully native SwiftUI, built for iOS PRIVACY FIRST Graphica works completely offline. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking โ€” your data never leaves your device. Whether you're a computer science student preparing for exams, a developer brushing up before technical interviews, or simply curious how these algorithms work, Graphica makes graph theory click.
