AuroraText

Same animated metaball field as the glow, used as a fill for SwiftUI Text glyphs — the iconic Apple-Intelligence shimmering text look. Drop-in for Text, palette- and mood-aware.

What’s in the box

Native Metal

One fragment shader. No images, no GIFs. Renders at full GPU speed inside any SwiftUI view.

Six palettes

Apple Intelligence, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Monochrome, Cyberpunk — or roll your own from raw RGB.

Three intro styles

thicknessGrow, borderFill, heartbeat — pick how the glow appears, dial the speed.

Four directions

leftToRight, rightToLeft, topToBottom, bottomToTop — drives wash and border-fill from any side.

Mood presets

listening, thinking, error, success — bundles palette and pace for state-aware UI in one line.

glowWhileLoading

Drop-in modifier for async and AI streaming. Intro on start, outro when done. Zero state plumbing.

AuroraText

Shimmering Apple-Intelligence text fill, drop-in for SwiftUI Text. Same palettes and moods as the glow.
