An Objective-C UIView category that reproduces the macOS genie minimize effect inside iOS apps using Core Animation. It supports animating views in and out toward a custom destination rectangle and edge.

Use cases

  • add a genie minimize animation to a view in my iOS app
  • animate a UIView shrinking into a dock-like rectangle
  • recreate the OSX genie effect on iOS
  • animate a view disappearing toward the top edge of a rect
  • make a window-style suck-in transition for thumbnails

When to choose

  • you want the classic macOS genie effect in an iOS app with a simple UIView category API
  • you need Core Animation-based transitions with custom destination rect and edge

When to avoid

  • you need Swift-native or SwiftUI animation APIs
  • your animated view overlaps the destination edge, which can cause glitches
  • you need actively maintained code with recent updates
