Swift Adwaita

swift-adwaita is an imperative Swift 6 wrapper for GTK4 and libadwaita, built for creating native GNOME desktop applications on Linux.

It provides a modern Swift API over GTK and Adwaita with type-safe widgets, signals, property bindings, async operations, and ergonomic convenience helpers, while preserving the native behavior, styling, and feel of the GNOME platform.

• Native GTK4 and libadwaita application development in Swift
• Imperative API without a custom DSL
• Type-safe enums, signals, and property APIs
• Async/await support for common platform integrations
• Extensive widget coverage with a real demo application

Here’s a demo app built using swift-adwaita.
