A Swift package that lets macOS developers add a native settings/preferences window to their app in minutes by passing in view controllers. It supports both AppKit and SwiftUI and handles window styling, toolbar icons, and pane management automatically.
Use cases
- add a settings window to my macos app
- create a preferences window with multiple panes in swift
- build a native mac preferences ui with swiftui
- replace the deprecated NSPreferences API
- show toolbar-styled settings panes in a mac app
When to choose
- you're building a native macOS app and need a standard settings window quickly
- you want SwiftUI or AppKit support with minimal boilerplate
- you want a well-maintained MIT-licensed library from a prolific maintainer
When to avoid
- you're targeting iOS or other non-macOS platforms
- you need cross-platform settings storage rather than a settings UI
- your app already has a custom settings interface
