Introducing FlipKit - a flippin' good library for SwiftUI

Jun 1, 2025  ·  swiftui

Say hi to FlipKit - a tiny open-source SwiftUI library with a FlipView that can be used to flip between a front and a back view on all major Apple platforms.

With FlipKit’s FlipView, you just have to provide a front and back content view, as well as optional configurations, like the flip duration and supported flip directions:

import FlipKit

struct MyView: View {

    @State private var isFlipped = false

    var body: some View {
        FlipView(
            isFlipped: $isFlipped,
            flipDuration: 1.0,
            tapDirection: .right,
            flipDirections: [.left, .right, .up, .down],
            front: { Card(color: .green) },
            back: { Card(color: .red) }
        )
        .withListRenderingBugFix()  // Use this when in a List 
    }
}

struct Card: View {

    let color: Color

    var body: some View {
        color.cornerRadius(10)
    }
}

You can flip the view programatically by just toggling the isFlipped state with code.

The result is a view that works on all major Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS & visionOS) and that can be flipped by both tapping or by swiping in any direction:

A first 0.1 version is out now, so feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think about it.
