Glur is a Swift package that adds progressive (graduated) blur effects to SwiftUI views via a .glur() modifier, implemented with custom Metal shaders and no private APIs. It also offers an optional GlurBackdrop product for blurring the content behind a view, targeting iOS 15+, macOS 12+, watchOS 8+, tvOS 15+, and visionOS.

Use cases

• add a progressive blur effect to a SwiftUI view
• recreate Apple's graduated blur look without private APIs
• blur just the bottom edge of an image in an iOS app
• apply a variable blur with configurable radius, offset, direction, and noise
• blur the backdrop behind a floating UI element on macOS or iOS
• get efficient GPU-rendered blurs using Metal instead of CIFilter

When to choose

• You are building a SwiftUI app on iOS 17+/macOS 14+/tvOS 17+ and want Apple-style progressive blurs using only public APIs
• You want a lightweight, MIT-licensed Swift package that integrates via Swift Package Manager
• You need fine control over blur radius, offset, interpolation, direction, and noise

When to avoid

• You target watchOS in production, where the Metal implementation is unavailable and only a lower-quality compatibility effect runs
• Your production app must support pre-iOS 17 / pre-macOS 14 and the compatibility effect's quality is not acceptable
• Your codebase is UIKit/AppKit-only with no SwiftUI usage
