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
