LiquidGlassKit

A SwiftUI package for apps that want Liquid Glass but still support systems without it. On iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS 26 it draws with SwiftUI's native glassEffect; on earlier versions and on visionOS it draws a Material blur with a tint, an edge highlight and a shadow. Every component is built on one modifier, glassSurface, so the theme, the rendering path and Reduce Transparency are handled in one place. No third-party dependencies.

Features

One modifier, two paths: glassSurface picks native glass or the Material fallback at run time, and glassRenderingMode(.fallback) forces one look everywhere

Ready-made controls: buttons, a switch style, a slider, cards, text fields, a search bar, a floating tab bar with an action button and badges, a navigation bar and a bottom sheet

Gradient-tinted glass and animated shimmer, pulse and breathe highlights on both rendering paths

GlassTheme for a whole view hierarchy, 14 presets in GlassPreset, and GlassCodeExporter to turn a tuned theme back into Swift

Accessibility: the fallback draws an opaque background with Reduce Transparency and a stronger edge with Increase Contrast, no highlights with Reduce Motion, SwiftUI's own VoiceOver behavior for the switch and slider

No name clashes with SwiftUI's glassEffect, GlassEffectContainer or GlassButtonStyle, so both modules can be imported in one file

Swift Testing suites with offscreen pixel checks, run in CI on macOS, an iOS 26 simulator and an iOS 18.6 simulator
