Pop is an extensible animation engine for iOS, tvOS, and OS X that supports both static animations and dynamic spring/decay physics-based animations. It integrates with Objective-C or Swift codebases and can animate any property on any object.

Use cases

  • add physics-based spring animations to iOS views
  • create decay animations for scrolling interactions
  • animate arbitrary properties on any object in Swift or Objective-C
  • build realistic interactive animations like Facebook Paper
  • add animations to tvOS apps

When to choose

  • building iOS, tvOS, or OS X apps needing spring/decay physics animations
  • working in Objective-C or Swift codebases that need a mature, well-tested animation engine
  • needing to animate arbitrary properties beyond what Core Animation offers out of the box

When to avoid

  • targeting platforms other than Apple's (iOS/tvOS/OS X)
  • starting a new project, since the repo is archived and no longer actively maintained
  • needing SwiftUI-native animation APIs
