ShadKit Open Source: Porting shadcn/ui and Vercel AI Elements to SwiftUI
jasonkneen · x · 2026-07-30
Developer Jason Kneen has released ShadKit, an open-source Swift package and demo app that faithfully ports the popular shadcn/ui and Vercel AI Elements component libraries to SwiftUI.
Key features of the project include:
- High-Fidelity Port: Built directly from the actual registry sources rather than visual approximations, ensuring details like dark mode and specific padding shifts match the web counterparts.
- Zero Dependencies: Pure SwiftUI implementation, supporting macOS 14+ and iOS 17+.
- Rich Components: Includes design tokens, shadcn primitives, AI chat UI components, a node-graph canvas, and a diff viewer.
Released under the MIT license, this project empowers developers to rapidly build native AI apps with a polished, web-like UI experience.
