# Swift project architecture examples

Interactive architecture diagrams of 198 open-source Swift repositories with a GitDiagram architecture diagram, most stars first. Each diagram shows the project's main components, how they connect, and links every part to its file on GitHub.

Across the 105 most-starred Swift projects here, the median diagram has 22 components. 54% draw a data store (most often a cache and SQLite), 23% have a command-line interface and 4% a web interface.

16% have an LLM or AI-model component and 19% have a plugin or extension system.

The files their components link to most are AppDelegate.swift (17), main.swift (10), ContentView.swift (8), SettingsView.swift (8) and Application.swift (4).

Group names that recur: “app shell” (7), “cli” (4) and “public api” (4).

Counted over GitDiagram's stored diagrams of public repositories, from the names their components and groups carry and the files they link to; the rules are the ones in the [2026 open-source architecture report](https://gitdiagram.com/open-source-architecture-2026). Stars are GitHub's when the diagram was last made. Rebuilt daily: hubs grow as more repositories' languages are known.
