ViewGraph overview ViewGraph graph canvas

ViewGraph analyzes SwiftUI projects and helps you understand how screens,
components, navigation, previews, and code changes relate to each other. It runs
locally on your Mac.

  • Version: 0.1.0-alpha.2
  • Build: 2
  • Bundle ID: com.penguinworks.ViewGraph
  • Requires: macOS 15.0 or later
  • Preview workflows: Xcode 16 or later
  • Architectures: Apple silicon and Intel (universal)
  • Distribution: signed and notarized DMG

What you can explore

Screens & Navigation

Screens and navigation graph

Open a SwiftUI project and explore its view graph on an interactive canvas.
Screens and their navigation connections are laid out so you can follow how one
screen leads to another.

Components

Component graph

See how views are composed from smaller components. ViewGraph groups the graph
into levels so you can trace which components make up a screen and where a
component is reused.

SwiftUI Previews

SwiftUI previews in ViewGraph

ViewGraph captures Xcode and iOS Simulator previews and caches them per
revision, so previews stay attached to the graph as your project changes.

Commit Impact

Commit impact graph

Compare the graph across Git commits and see which parts of the view graph a
revision affects, without reading the whole diff.

Alpha status

This is an early public alpha.

Current focus:

  • SwiftUI projects
  • iOS / iPhone-first support
  • screen/component/navigation analysis
  • preview rendering
  • commit-impact exploration

ViewGraph 0.1.0 is iPhone-first: only proven iPhone application targets are
listed, and iPad-specific graph presentation and preview rendering are deferred.

Expect unsupported project structures and preview edge cases. Some projects may
not analyze cleanly, and some previews may fail depending on the project's
toolchain and configuration.

Install

  1. Download ViewGraph-0.1.0-alpha.2.dmg from this release.
  2. Open the DMG.
  3. Drag ViewGraph into Applications.
  4. Launch ViewGraph.
  5. Open a SwiftUI project.

This is a pre-release build. It is signed with a Developer ID certificate,
notarized by Apple, and stapled so it launches offline.

Feedback

Please report bugs through GitHub Issues:
https://github.com/coper101/ViewGraph-Releases/issues/new

Useful information to include:

  • ViewGraph version
  • macOS version
  • Xcode version
  • Screenshot
  • Relevant diagnostics
  • Reproduction steps
  • A small sample project, if possible

Privacy and security

  • The production app has no telemetry and no direct application-managed
    networking    .
  • Xcode and Swift Package Manager may download dependencies during preview
    workflows.
  • Previewed project code may perform network requests or other side effects.
  • ViewGraph copies most non-hidden project content into its Application
    Support mirror.
  • Persisted snapshots can contain project paths, file names, diagnostics,
    preview bodies, and invocation expressions.

ViewGraph does not claim that it never sends data to the network or never copies
source locally. Review these points before opening sensitive projects.

Known limitations

  • Previews require a working Xcode installation. Without Xcode, analysis,
    canvas, bookmarks, and Git history still work, but previews report that the
    toolchain is unavailable.
  • iPad-specific graph presentation and preview rendering are deferred. Only
    proven iPhone application targets are listed.
  • This is an alpha; data formats and UI may change between builds.
  • Intel runtime behavior is unverified unless explicitly recorded below.
