LayoutKit is a fast, declarative view layout library for iOS, macOS, and tvOS, created by LinkedIn as a performant alternative to Auto Layout. It computes immutable, cacheable layouts asynchronously on background threads and integrates with UIKit views, UITableView, and UICollectionView.

Use cases

  • replace Auto Layout for faster view layout in scrollable views
  • compute view layouts asynchronously on background threads
  • build declarative immutable layout hierarchies in Swift
  • cache precomputed layouts to improve scroll performance
  • support right-to-left language layouts automatically
  • efficiently lay out UITableView and UICollectionView cells

When to choose

  • you need maximum layout performance for complex scrollable view hierarchies on Apple platforms
  • you prefer declarative, immutable layout code over Auto Layout constraints
  • you want background-thread layout computation to keep the UI responsive

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library - the project is explicitly unmaintained and no longer used by LinkedIn
  • you are starting a new project where SwiftUI or modern Auto Layout tooling is sufficient
  • you target platforms beyond iOS, macOS, and tvOS
