Lottie-Web
Render After Effects animations natively
Lottie-Web renders vector animations exported from Adobe After Effects as lightweight JSON, playing them in the browser via SVG or Canvas. Animations remain crisp at any resolution, load quickly compared to videos or GIFs, and can be controlled programmatically for interactivity. The runtime supports playback options like loop, autoplay, segment control, and event hooks, making it easy to sync motion with UI state. Because animations are data rather than pixels, designers and developers can collaborate: designers export with the Bodymovin plugin, and developers integrate the JSON with minimal code. The renderer handles masks, shapes, and keyframe timing to closely mirror After Effects behavior within web constraints. This approach brings high-quality motion design to product interfaces without large asset sizes or complex sprite workflows. -

AnimatedTransitionGallery
A gallery app of custom animated transitions for iOS
AnimatedTransitionGallery is an iOS demonstration application that collects many custom transitions between view controllers. The examples are built around the UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning protocol and related transition APIs. Its catalog includes line, ghost, brick, blur, dissolve, flash, page-curl, ripple, fade, bounce, cube, fold, portal, flip, zoom, and carousel effects. Several transitions use Core Image, while others rely on custom geometry and animation controllers. The gallery brings implementations from multiple open-source projects into one interface for direct visual comparison. Building the complete application requires initializing its Git submodules after cloning the repository. It is best suited to developers studying transition techniques or searching for animation patterns to adapt to their own interfaces. -

Lottie
Render After Effects animations natively on Mobile, Web & React Native
Lottie is a wonderful library for Android, iOS, Web, and Windows that works by parsing Adobe After Effects animations that have been exported as json with Bodymovin, and then rendering these natively on mobile and on the web! Now you can have beautiful animations without engineers having to recreate everything by hand. Building animations by hand is time consuming, and other animation alternatives like Gifs and Png sequences don’t offer the same flexibility and varied features that Lottie offers. With Lottie, you can achieve exquisite animations exactly how you want, with no additional engineering effort whatsoever. Take a look at the many beautiful animation possibilities available to you on http://airbnb.io/lottie/ -

Advance
Physics-based animations for iOS, tvOS, and macOS
An animation library for iOS, tvOS, and macOS that uses physics-based animations (including springs) to power interactions that move and respond realistically. There are several ways to integrate Advance into your project. Advance animations are applied on every frame (using CADisplayLink on iOS/tvOS, and CVDisplayLink on macOS), allowing for fine-grained control at any time. Animator allows for more flexibility in the types of animation that can be performed, but gives up some convenience in order to do so. Specifically, animators allow for any type of animation or simulation to be performed for a single value. Simulated animations use a simulation function to power a physics-based transition. Simulation functions are types conforming to the SimulationFunction protocol. Values conforming to the VectorConvertible protocol can be animated by Advance. Conforming types can be converted to and from a Vector implementation. -

LottieXamarin
Render After Effects animations natively on Android, iOS, MacOS
Lottie is a mobile library for Android and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile! For the first time, designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating them by hand. Bodymovin is an After Effects plugin created by Hernan Torrisi that exports After Effects files as json and includes a javascript web player. We've built on top of his great work to extend its usage to Android, iOS, and React Native. You can build the sample app yourself or download it from the Play Store. The sample app includes some built-in animations but also allows you to load an animation from internal storage or from a URL. -

Material Motion
A toolkit for building responsive motion using Core Animation
Reactive motion is driven by Core Animation. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C and Swift libraries. CocoaPods automates the process of using third-party libraries in your projects. See the Getting Started guide for more information. You will need to add use_frameworks! to your Podfile in order use Material Motion in your swift app. A contextual view can be used to create continuity during transitions between view controllers. In this case study the selected photo is the contextual view. It's possible to flick the view to dismiss it using the tossable interaction. -

Shimmer
An easy way to add a simple, shimmering effect to any view
Shimmer is a lightweight Objective-C library by Facebook that adds an elegant, animated shimmering effect to views—used as a subtle loading indicator, such as in the Paper app. There's also an example project. In the example, you can swipe horizontally and vertically to try various shimmering parameters, or tap to start or stop shimmering. (To build the example locally, you'll need to open FBShimmering.xcworkpace rather than the .xcodeproj.) Shimmer uses the -[CALayer mask] property to enable shimmering, similar to what's described in John Harper's 2009 WWDC talk (unfortunately no longer online). Shimmer uses CoreAnimation's timing features to smoothly transition "on-beat" when starting and stopping the shimmer. -

AnimatedCollectionViewLayout
UICollectionViewLayout subclass adding custom transitions/animations
A UICollectionViewLayout subclass that adds custom transitions/animations to the UICollectionView without effecting your existing code. Normally a UICollectionView has no transition effects when you scroll from one item to another. There are lots of ways to write animations for UICollectionView, but using a UICollectionViewLayout subclass is by far the simplest one. And it doesn't break any of your existing code. You can still use your UICollectionView subclass and you don't need to change your UICollectionViewCell. Just plug and enjoy. Most of the built-in animators work best in Paging mode and they have additional parameters that you can tweak for better transitions. You can also write your own animators by implementing the protocol LayoutAttributesAnimator. AnimatedCollectionViewLayout is available under the MIT license. -

Display Switcher
Custom transition between two collection view layouts
We designed a UI that allows users to switch between list and grid views on the fly and choose the most convenient display type. List view usually provides more details about each user or contact. Grid view allows more users or contacts to appear on the screen at the same time. We created design mockups for both list and grid views using Sketch. As soon as the mockups were ready, we used Principle to create a smooth transition between the two display types. Note that the hamburger menu changes its appearance depending on which view is activated. -

GuillotineMenu.swift
Our Guillotine Menu Transitioning Animation implemented in Swift
Our Guillotine Menu Transitioning Animation implemented in Swift reminds a bit of a notorious killing machine. Now, it's for you to decide, should or not your menu drop from top left corner of the screen or from your navigation bar, because if you want animation like in the example, you must make your menu view controller conform to "GuillotineMenu" protocol. When you confirm to this protocol, you must make a menu button and title, you don't need to make a frame for them, because the animator will make it itself. In view controller, which will present your menu, you must make a property for "GuillotineMenuTransitionAnimator". It's necessary for proper animation when you show or dismiss the menu. -

Hero iOS
Elegant transition library for iOS & tvOS
Hero is a library for building iOS view controller transitions. It provides a declarative layer on top of the UIKit’s cumbersome transition APIs—making custom transitions an easy task for developers. Hero is similar to Keynote’s Magic Move. It checks the heroID property on all source and destination views. Every matched view pair is then automatically transitioned from its old state to its new state. Hero can also construct animations for unmatched views. It is easy to define these animations via the heroModifiers property. Hero will run these animations alongside the Magic Move animations. All of these animations can be interactively controlled by user gestures. By default, Hero provides dynamic duration based on the Material Design Motion Guide. Duration is automatically determined by changes to distance and size—saving you the hassle, while providing consistent and delightful animations. -

IBAnimatable
Design and prototype customized UI, interaction, navigation, etc.
Design and prototype customized UI, interaction, navigation, transition and animation for App Store ready Apps in Interface Builder with IBAnimatable. The app was made in Interface Builder with IBAnimatable without a single line of code. Due to the size of the GIF file on Dribbble, it only demonstrates a subset of features. We can also find the full HD version on YouTube or MP4 on Github. With IBAnimatable, we can design a UI in Interface Builder like what we can do in Sketch, and prototype animations in a Swift playground like what we can do in Framer. Also, we can use the output of the design directly in the production-ready App. -

JazzHands
A simple keyframe-based animation framework for UIKit
Jazz Hands is a simple keyframe-based animation framework for UIKit. Animations can be controlled via gestures, scroll views, KVO, or ReactiveCocoa. Jazz Hands is used extensively in IF and DO by IFTTT for iPhone and iPad, most famously in the app intro. Open JazzHandsDemo.xcworkspace to see a simple demonstration of moving, scaling, fading, and transforming views in a scrolling app intro. To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory. Looking to incorporate Jazz Hands into your Swift project? Check out RazzleDazzle, our brand new scrolling keyframe animations library reimagined in Swift. As a bonus, because it's built on top of the animations library, you can even tell JazzHands that you'd like one of your views to show up on multiple pages while other views scroll past, with a single call to keepView:onPages. To see the new JazzHands 2.0 AutoLayout magic in action, check out the example project.
