Kinetics
Kinetics is a SwiftUI interaction framework that adds natural motion (springs, inertia, rubber-banding) with a few lines of code. It’s Swift 6-compliant and designed for modern SwiftUI patterns.
Why you will like it:
Add inertia, rubber-banding, snapping, and bounce to your views so your interactions feel realistic and natively iOS.
Make your UI respond to user interactions in real-time with the continuos animation system.
Use the built-in gestures to instantly get realistic and tweak-able velocity with end value predictions.
Simulator Manager
Simulator Manager is a menubar tool designed to streamline your development workflow when working with Apple's simulators.

Eliminates the tedious process of navigating complex macOS file structures to find your app's data.
Instant access to simulator folders, app documents, .app packages, and UserDefault folders without manual navigation.
Direct access to local database files for tools like SQLiteBrowser and Realm Browser without device file transfers.
Monitor recently installed/updated apps across all simulators with live updates and device context.
Clean slate testing with progress tracking to reset all simulators at once.
Works with iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS simulators in one organized interface.
Show/hide platforms to focus only on what you're working with.
Fully open source, operates offline (except update checks), and your data never leaves your machine.
