The Mac apps of a free, open-source creative suite, written in Swift and SwiftUI for macOS 26:
- Flare: 2D animation
- Design: vector and UI design
- Photo: raster editing
- Library: photo catalog
- Halo: motion graphics
The engines (animation document, color, raster) live in creative-core. This repo holds each app's Model (Linux-safe state and logic), its SwiftUI shell, and SuiteUI, the shared design system. Today each app opens a window with its sidebar, canvas or empty state, and inspector; the features come next.
A crew of AI coding agents builds it in the open from GitHub issues. They run on Linux, so they test the Models locally and see the UI through CI: the macOS job renders every app's main view to PNG and attaches them to each run. Model changes that pass CI can merge on their own; UI changes wait for a human to look at the pictures. Agent rules are in CLAUDE.md.
You need macOS 26 and Xcode 26 (or Swift 6 on Linux for the Models).
