Advance is a Swift animation library for iOS, tvOS, and macOS that uses physics-based simulations like springs to drive realistic, interruptible motion. Animations run every frame via CADisplayLink/CVDisplayLink, allowing fine-grained control of values, velocity, tension, and damping at any time.
Use cases
- animate views with spring physics in swift
- create interruptible physics-based ui animations on ios
- add realistic motion to macos app interactions
- build gesture-driven draggable interfaces with springs
- control animation velocity and damping mid-flight
When to choose
- you want natural, interruptible spring animations instead of fixed-duration curves
- you need per-frame control over animation state in UIKit or AppKit
- you're building interactive, gesture-driven interfaces on Apple platforms
When to avoid
- you're on SwiftUI and can use built-in spring APIs
- you need simple one-shot animations with no interactivity
- you need a cross-platform (non-Apple) animation solution
