Chatto is a lightweight Swift framework for building chat application UIs on iOS, designed for extensibility and performance. It ships with ChattoAdditions, a companion framework providing message cells (text, photo) and an extensible input bar component.

Use cases

  • build a chat interface in an iOS app
  • display thousands of messages with smooth scrolling and pagination
  • create custom message bubble types in Swift
  • add an extensible message input bar to an app
  • implement bidirectional pagination and autoloading in a chat feed
  • add swipe-to-reveal accessory views on chat messages

When to choose

  • you need a customizable, performant chat UI in a native Swift/iOS app
  • you want fine-grained control over message cells and input components
  • your app handles large message histories requiring background layout calculation

When to avoid

  • you need a full chat backend with networking and sync built in
  • you are building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit
  • you target platforms other than iOS
