AppKit
Apple's native UI framework for macOS, with origins tracing back to the NeXTSTEP era. It underpins system-level applications such as Finder and Safari, and provides direct access to system capabilities including Core Text and Core Animation, offering performance advantages over web-rendering approaches.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Both macOS's AppKit and iOS's UIKit have built-in support for multi-level undo, primarily helping developers group and replay operations.
MuM is built entirely on native AppKit and does not use a web rendering engine or an embedded browser kernel.
AppKit is Apple's native UI framework for macOS, with a history traceable back to the NeXTSTEP era.
Compared to AppKit, SwiftUI can more closely follow system version iterations, automatically adapts to dark mode and accessibility features, and has animation rendering uniformly dispatched at the system layer for better resource efficiency
TablePro is a native macOS open-source database client written with AppKit and SwiftUI.
Native Mac development refers to building apps using Apple's official frameworks (such as AppKit or SwiftUI) rather than wrapping them through cross-platform runtimes like Electron or Flutter.
Compared to Electron, which bundles an independent browser engine, Swift/SwiftUI directly calls existing AppKit/UIKit components and system-level APIs already present in macOS without needing to bundle a runtime environment, resulting in a smaller footprint.
