Catalog

Editor’s Choice
Bottom line: Catalog is a focused, single-purpose option and a strong pick if you want a focused reference app.

Pros

  • Controls — Buttons, menus, segmented controls, sliders, switches, steppers, text fields, search bars, page controls
  • Pickers — Date picker, color picker, font picker, image picker, custom picker view
  • SwiftUI — Parallel demos for key SwiftUI components
  • Tap any component to see a live demo
  • View code snippets and copy them into your project
  • Filter by tag: UIKit, Controls, Views, Pickers, SwiftUI

Cons

  • Some advanced features may sit behind an in-app purchase.
  • As a focused reference app, it skips unrelated extras on purpose.
  • Available on iOS only, so it is not a cross-platform pick.

Who should use Catalog?

Catalog is best for people who want a dedicated reference app that does one job well rather than a bloated all-in-one. If that sounds like you, the pros clearly outweigh the cons.

If you need a broad, multi-purpose suite, you may prefer a heavier alternative - but you will trade away the simplicity that makes Catalog pleasant to use day to day.
