Swift

Apple's modern, type-safe language for building fast, native iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS apps.

Discuss your project

Swift is Apple's primary language for native app development across the entire Apple ecosystem. Its strong type system and modern syntax help our engineers catch bugs at compile time rather than in production, while its performance is close to C, so apps stay fast even on older devices.

We use Swift for client projects that need deep integration with iOS platform features — Face ID, ARKit, HealthKit, widgets, and App Clips — where a cross-platform framework would add friction. Swift also compiles to a small, efficient binary, which keeps App Store download sizes low.

Where we use it

How we use Swift

Native iOS apps

Full-featured consumer and enterprise apps built directly against Apple's frameworks for the best possible performance and platform fit.

Platform-deep integrations

Apps that lean on Face ID, ARKit, HealthKit, CarPlay, or other iOS-only APIs that cross-platform tools don't expose well.

App extensions & widgets

Home screen widgets, share extensions, and Siri shortcuts that extend an app beyond its main window.
