About Swoop

Swoop is a native SwiftUI playground for Mac that runs one component live, the moment it compiles, for iOS developers, designers and anyone learning SwiftUI. Write the file yourself or let Claude Code and Codex write it, watch it run, then publish it to a community feed where anyone can play it and fork it.

What Swoop does

Runs SwiftUI live

Swoop plays a single SwiftUI file natively on your Mac: views, shapes, paths, gradients, TimelineView animations and gestures. There is no Xcode project to set up, and what runs in Swoop pastes into Xcode as plain SwiftUI.

Gives AI agents a live preview

A built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients create projects, validate them against Swoop's real player and open live previews. Your agent can see what it built instead of guessing.

A feed of components you can fork

For You and Following feeds surface new and popular components from the community. Open any post's source, fork it into your projects in one click, and make it yours.

Swoop Pro

An optional one-time purchase for people who publish: hide your source, see creator stats for followers, views, likes and forks, and wear the Pro badge.

What makes Swoop different

One file, running, with no project

Xcode Previews run inside an Xcode project and need a build to refresh. Swoop runs a single SwiftUI file on its own, so trying an idea is open, paste, run.

Works with your AI agent, on the AI you already pay for

Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can write SwiftUI but can't see it run without a build. Swoop's MCP tools let them create, validate, preview and capture the result, and Swoop never resells AI or needs an API key.

Running code, not screenshots

Showcases like Dribbble show static shots and videos of interfaces. Every post on Swoop is the real SwiftUI source, running natively, and most can be forked.

SwiftUI, not the web

CodePen made it easy to share live HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Swoop does the same for SwiftUI, with native rendering instead of a web view.

No subscription

Swoop is free to use. Pro is a single payment that starts at $5 and rises in tiers to $69.99, then stays there. You never pay monthly.

Who uses Swoop

iOS and macOS developers who prototype SwiftUI components, animations and loaders.
Developers building with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor who want their agent to see its SwiftUI running.
Designers and design engineers who want motion that ships as real code, not a mockup.
People learning SwiftUI one view at a time.
Indie developers who share and fork UI ideas with the community.

The team behind Swoop

Swoop is made by Valet Hero LLC and built by founder Benjamin Peralta, an iOS developer who builds and ships his own apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is Swoop free?

Yes. Swoop for Mac is free to download and use: live previews, the feed, forking, unlimited local projects, MCP and publishing. Swoop Pro is an optional one-time purchase.

What does Swoop Pro cost?

Pro is a one-time payment that starts at $5 for the first 10 licenses and rises in tiers, twice as many seats each time, until it settles at $69.99. There is no subscription.

Does Swoop compile my app?

No. Swoop runs one SwiftUI component at a time with a native interpreter for a deliberate subset of SwiftUI. What runs in Swoop is plain SwiftUI that pastes into an Xcode project.

Which AI assistants work with Swoop?

Claude Code, Codex and any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol. They use your own account; Swoop doesn't sell AI or see your prompts.

Where is my work stored?

Projects stay on your Mac until you publish one to the community. Published posts are public by design.
