This topic area is about the programming languages themselves, not about any specific API or tool. If you have an API question, go to the top level and look for a subtopic for that API. If you have a question about Apple developer tools, start in the Developer Tools & Services topic.
For Swift questions:
If your question is about the SwiftUI framework, start in UI Frameworks > SwiftUI.
If your question is specific to the Swift Playground app, ask over in Developer Tools & Services > Swift Playground
If you’re interested in the Swift open source effort — that includes the evolution of the language, the open source tools and libraries, and Swift on non-Apple platforms — check out Swift Forums
If your question is about the Swift language, that’s on topic for Programming Languages > Swift, but you might have more luck asking it in Swift Forums > Using Swift.

UpKeep helps homeowners track appliances, stay on top of maintenance, and manage home upkeep with AI-assisted workflows.
Some of the current features include:
AI label scanning to extract appliance details like brand, model, and serial info
Smart appliance identification from a photo
Warranty tracking
Auto-generated maintenance schedules
Task reminders and weekly planning
Shopping mode for replacement parts / price comparison
I’m currently looking for beta testers who can help with feedback on:
onboarding clarity
ease of adding and managing appliances
label scanning / identification accuracy
usefulness of maintenance scheduling
anything confusing, broken, or missing in the overall experience
If you’re a homeowner, manage multiple appliances, or are interested in better ways to stay on top of home upkeep, I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Hey everyone, I’ve spent the last few months completely overhauling my app, Kai Companion. It’s a safety buddy designed to notify your emergency contacts instantly and easily when you're in a sketchy situation.
I’m now at a point where it "works well," but for a safety app, "well" isn't enough. I need real-world testers to break it, find bugs, and tell me if the UI makes sense when you're in a hurry.
What’s in it for you?
-Early access to all premium features.
-Direct influence on the roadmap.
-The good feeling of helping build a tool that might actually help someone in need.
I make daily updates!
Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a little side project I've been working on, meet Fog.
I’ve always struggled with organizing my notes, creating folders, deciding what goes where, and manually managing everything.
Fog aims to solve this with four core features:
• Auto naming
• Auto grouping into clouds
• Auto cloud grouping
• Ask anything about your notes
These features are powered by Apple’s on-device Foundation Model, meaning the AI runs entirely on your device, and your data never leaves your phone.
The app is built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, and it was a great excuse to experiment with Apple’s newest on-device AI capabilities.
I also had a lot of fun messing around with the new Liquid Glass design (hot take: it’s awesome).
Fog is still in its early stages, but it’s available on TestFlight now.
Feel free to try it and let me know your honest thoughts. Open to improvements and critiques.
Clear your fog!

Hi all, I've built UpRez AI - an image upscaling app that bundles 3 models to choose from with the option for selecting 2x/4x scaling factor preference. I was annoyed with how many of these apps are now predatory with their pricing models (subscription based) so the plan is this will be a one time purchase app that will NEVER contain any subscriptions.
Because AI is notorious for introducing "artifacts" within images (distorted hands, text, faces etc) this app differentiates itself by providing a blending brush tool to allow for lightly blending back in parts of the original image to create a composite upscaled image.
The app seems to excel with Anime images (line art and other art styles) with the "Real ESRGAN Anime" model. BSRGAN is optimized for detailed photography and Real ESRGAN standard offers Balanced enhancement for general photos. As always, results vary and depend on quality of the original image provided.

Hello everyone,
I've been working on my first-ever app, a budgeting app that aims to put you in total control of your money, without needing to compromise your data privacy.
The app is based on the envelope budgeting method, where every dollar is assigned a specific job.
You can:
Create and manage your own custom spending categories
Track your expenses and income across multiple accounts
Set monthly spending goals for each category
Always see exactly how much money you have available to spend
Some key things that set this app apart:
No sign-up or account creation required — just download the app and start budgeting
All your data stays completely private on your own device — nothing is ever sent to a server
The app is fully functional offline — you don't need an internet connection to use it
Tailor the app to your specific needs with custom categories, goals, and account types
If you're someone who's into personal finance and budgeting, or if you're just looking for a more private and secure way to manage your money, I'd love for you to give this app a try.
The app is currently in beta, and I'm seeking thoughtful, detailed feedback to make it the best budgeting tool it can be. Whether it's bug reports, UI/UX suggestions, feature requests, or just general thoughts on your experience, your input will be invaluable in shaping the future of the app.
Thanks in advance to all the testers out there — I'm excited to build something great together!

Hello,
I’ve been working on a native macOS client for Mastodon called Oliphaunt, built primarily with AppKit and some SwiftUI integration. It’s designed to feel fast, lightweight and truly native — not a web wrapper, Catalyst, SwiftUI, or Electron app.
I’d appreciate any feedback from fellow developers and testers.
Key features:
Native UI using AppKit (with some SwiftUI)
Core Data for local caching
Responsive, keyboard-friendly interface
UX tailored for macOS (desktop-class usage)
Supports multiple accounts, cross-instance timelines and search
The app supports macOS 14 Sonoma and later.
Feedback is welcome via TestFlight, on GitHub, or right here.
Thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a try!

Anti-anxiety app. Made mostly for myself. As a tribute to ancient and famous
https://make-everything-ok.com/
I realized that my anxiety level is super high when I do not have Internet connection and thus I need local version of this tool to relive my stress level.
Vibe coded in a day together with ChatGPT o3 - so partially credit goes to it.
If you need localization to another language and willing to help - ping me.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Happy testing.

Hi Everyone,
We’re inviting 25 additional beta testers (U.S. only) to try out our iOS personal finance app — now available on TestFlight — as we gear up for public release. We previously posted here and received great feedback, and we’re excited to welcome more testers to help refine the experience.

Our app offers a holistic view of your finances by automatically tracking your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, net worth, and cash flow — all in one clean and responsive interface.
🔑 Key Features:
🔗 Connect your financial accounts: Checking, savings, credit cards, loans, 401(k), IRA, 529, CDs, and more.
📊 See where your money goes: Transaction history, category trends, and spending patterns over time.
✏️ Manual controls: Add/edit transactions manually and include/exclude items from calculations.
🧠 AI-powered assistant: Ask financial questions in natural language and get personalized insights instantly (This is experimental as of now). This is based on summarized financial data and no personal information is used.
🔔 Smart, Customizable Notifications:
Low balance alerts (checking/savings)
* If a connected bank account has low balance then receive the alert
High-value transaction alerts
* We will send out an alert when we detect any high value transaction posted in any of your connected accounts
Loan balance alerts (total liabilities)
* When your total loan balance crosses a certain amount
Asset balance alerts
* When your total asset crosses a certain amount
Monthly budget alerts
* Keep track of your total monthly budget by tracking actuals against budget (e.g., receive alert when 80% of budget is spent)
Disconnected account alerts (prompting users to relink)
All thresholds are user-defined, and alerts are sent in real time (there is some lag in getting the financial transactions in our app depending on the financial institution, however we send the alerts as soon as we detect it) to help users stay informed
🔐 Privacy & Security:
Data is encrypted end-to-end
No personal information is used for model training
Users have full control over what’s included in calculations

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a few testers to try out Wanderly, an iOS app that surfaces nearby landmarks and hidden spots in your city. It uses a Mapbox map so you can see your location and keep track of the places you’ve visited. You earn XP for each place you check off, level up, and unlock badges as you explore.
Would love any feedback around the UI + UX + app itself, currently not many cities are supported, I'm in the process of adding more before a proper launch.

Vline is a new application still under heavy development that will be available soon.
This application will target (mainly) students to help them to improve the way they acquire/learn and memorize knowledges from videos.
Like the best video platform is YouTube you can add almost any YouTube video in the app and then you can select all the parts of the video you want to focus on. then you'll be able to replay only those parts of the video instead of all the video.
Moreover in future version you'll have an in-app algorithm to give you estimation about your memorization status about a video and that will tell you when you'll have to revise a video to improve your memorization.
It'll be based on the concept of spaced repetition.
You are not student but are interested by the app? No problem you can obviously use the app in a more entertainment way by adding video of one-(wo)man show to select to funniest moments or add various video about DIY, cooking, or any subjects you want to learn.
In few words, Vline app is like a video bookmarking app oriented for learning.

Hey, I’d be happy if you tried out the Kaleido Pattern app.
Kaleido Pattern App is a playful, intuitive, and almost meditative way of creating Pattern for any use case or just for experimenting, discovering symmetry, and refining visual ideas.
Some things still might not work exactly as expected. Either way, I’d love to hear what you think of the app or anything you notice.
For now, the app is only for iPad on iOS 17.5 or later.
