A Swift library that simplifies launching external iOS applications and constructing deep links, with support for 172 apps and automatic web URL fallback when the target app isn't installed. It provides a typed, autocomplete-friendly API for defining app schemes and actions.

Use cases

  • open another app from my ios app with a deep link
  • deeplink to instagram or twitter from swift
  • fallback to a website when the target app isn't installed
  • open the ios settings app programmatically
  • launch the app store page for an app id
  • define custom url scheme actions for external apps

When to choose

  • you're building an iOS, watchOS, or tvOS app in Swift and need to open external apps via deep links
  • you want typed, autocomplete-friendly deep link actions instead of hand-built URL strings
  • you need guaranteed web fallback when the target app may not be installed

When to avoid

  • you need Android or cross-platform deep linking
  • you're on Swift 6 / recent iOS versions and need actively maintained dependencies (last release 2021)
  • you only need to open a handful of URLs and don't mind writing UIApplication.open calls directly
