Spruce is a lightweight Swift library for choreographing multi-view animations on iOS screens. It provides UIView extensions to prepare and run coordinated animations like fade-in and expand across many views with simple timing control.

Use cases

• animate multiple views on screen in a coordinated sequence
• add staggered fade-in animations to a list of UI elements
• choreograph complex multi-view animations for iOS prototypes
• make iOS screen transitions feel polished with minimal code
• synchronize view animations with sort functions and delays

When to choose

• you are building an iOS app in Swift and want easy multi-view animation choreography
• you want a lightweight UIView-extension-based animation API
• designers request complex staggered animations that are tedious to hand-code

When to avoid

• you need Objective-C support, which is not yet available
• you need cross-platform animations for Android or web
• you need advanced physics-based or gesture-driven animation systems
