Wave is a spring-based animation engine for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS built in Swift with no external dependencies. It provides fluid, interruptible animations whose velocity is preserved when retargeting mid-flight, usable from UIKit, SwiftUI, or AppKit.

Use cases

• create fluid spring animations in UIKit
• make gesture-driven views that interrupt and retarget smoothly
• animate UIView and CALayer properties like frame, center, and scale
• build interactive drag-and-dismiss interfaces like picture-in-picture
• add bouncy, natural motion to SwiftUI views
• enable 120fps ProMotion animations on iOS

When to choose

• you need interruptible, retargetable animations that preserve velocity
• you want UIView.animate-style APIs backed by springs
• you're building gesture-driven interactions on iOS or macOS
• you want a dependency-free Swift animation library

When to avoid

• you only need simple one-shot animations that UIKit already handles
• you're targeting platforms outside Apple's ecosystem
• you need keyframe or path-based animation timelines
