Awesome open-source Swift macOS Apps

This list curates open-source macOS applications built with Swift, spanning categories from productivity and utilities to development, AI, graphics and games. Categories include development tools such as Git clients, JSON parsing and web-development utilities, editors, IDEs, browsers, local LLM apps, security tools, screenshot and screen-recording apps, menu-bar apps and window managers, among many others.

It is aimed at macOS developers who want practical Swift code samples and best practices for building macOS software, including UI design, performance optimization and menu-bar integration, drawn from real shipped applications rather than tutorials.
