Lumen Playground is the living SwiftUI catalog for Lumen UI, a cross-platform primitive design system. Search the public component library, exercise real native controls, and compare Lumen's semantic light and dark themes directly on iPhone or iPad. Every example is built with the same LumenUI package available to application developers. Explore: ⢠Foundations, actions, forms, feedback, data display, navigation, and native presentations ⢠Interactive loading, disabled, selected, validation, overlay, and empty states ⢠Native Dynamic Type, VoiceOver semantics, focus behavior, and platform conventions ⢠Shared Lumen icons, colors, spacing, typography, and visual treatments ⢠Direct links to implementation documentation and public support The catalog works without an account and does not include advertising, analytics, tracking, or data collection.

Work with local files and projects, connect to servers over SSH and SFTP, edit code in tabs, and use Codex from within the app. Features: ⢠local projects or one-time work without creating a project; ⢠saved server connections; ⢠a native SSH/SFTP client with host-key verification; ⢠a UTF-8 editor with syntax highlighting, undo, and redo; ⢠editor tabs and visual SVG preview; ⢠Quick Look for non-text files; ⢠search across file names and contents; ⢠SSH terminal and guided server setup; ⢠SQLite browsing and MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL access through a secure HTTPS gateway; ⢠Codex assistance using your own OpenAI API key; ⢠Russian and English interface. Passwords, private SSH keys, and the API key are stored in the system Keychain. Git is optional, so ParaPort also works for standalone connections and projects without a repository.
