A Swift library providing a UIVisualEffectView subclass with customizable blur radius, tint color, saturation, and iOS 26+ glass effect styles. It supports both UIKit and SwiftUI with package manager distribution via CocoaPods, Carthage, and SPM.

Use cases

• add a blurred background with tint color to an iOS view
• create frosted glass overlay effects in SwiftUI
• customize blur radius and tint alpha on iOS
• use iOS 26 glass effect styles in UIKit
• build dynamic blur backgrounds behind modals or cards

When to choose

• you need fine-grained control over blur radius and tint beyond UIVisualEffectView defaults
• you want a single library that works in both UIKit and SwiftUI
• you want easy access to new iOS glass effects with a simple API

When to avoid

• you only need the standard system blur with no customization
• your app targets platforms other than iOS
• you need cross-platform (Android, web) blur effects
