# Free SwiftUI Components (Gratis SwiftUI Komponenter) > By Lawrence Arya, Founder & CEO of VP0. Published 2026-06-01, updated 2026-06-02. 5 min read. > Source: https://vp0.com/blogs/gratis-swiftui-komponenter Free SwiftUI components come from two places: open-source libraries for common atoms, and an AI builder generating custom ones from a design. **TL;DR.** For free SwiftUI components, use open-source libraries for common atoms (charts, cached images, calendars, cards, curated in lists like awesome-swiftui-libraries) and generate custom, design-matched components from a free VP0 design with an AI builder. Libraries remove boilerplate for solved problems; VP0 covers the bespoke parts. Together they mean little hand-written UI, all free and yours. Looking for free SwiftUI components, gratis SwiftUI komponenter? The short answer: they come from two places, open-source libraries for the common atoms and an AI builder generating custom ones from a design. Use libraries for solved problems, and generate the bespoke parts from a VP0 design, the free iOS design library for AI builders. Together they mean very little hand-written UI, all free and yours. about 76% of developers [now use or plan to use AI tools](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/ai) in their workonsider the scale: C. ## Who this is for This is for SwiftUI developers, including the Nordic audience searching gratis SwiftUI komponenter, who want ready-made components instead of building each UI atom from scratch. ## The two free routes Route one is open-source libraries. Curated lists like [awesome-swiftui-libraries](https://github.com/Toni77777/awesome-swiftui-libraries) and the [GitHub swiftui-components topic](https://github.com/topics/swiftui-components) point to battle-tested components for common needs: SwiftUICharts for charts, CachedAsyncImage for image caching, ElegantCalendar for calendars, DeckKit for card decks, plus navigation and messaging components. They remove boilerplate for atoms that are already well solved. Route two is generating your own from a design reference for custom, design-matched components, which an AI builder makes fast. The [Apple SwiftUI documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui) is the foundation both build on. | Need | Free option | Note | |---|---|---| | Charts | SwiftUICharts and others | Common atom, use a library | | Cached images | CachedAsyncImage | Solved, use a library | | Calendar, cards | ElegantCalendar, DeckKit | Library covers it | | Custom component | Generate from VP0 | Matched to your design | | Finding libraries | awesome-swiftui-libraries | Curated by category | ## Generate custom components free with a VP0 design For components that should match your design, generate them. Pick a screen or component in VP0, copy its link, and prompt your AI builder: > Build this SwiftUI component from the VP0 design at [paste VP0 link] as a reusable, well-structured view. Match the layout, spacing, and styling from the reference, and generate clean code. For neighboring SwiftUI and free-template workflows, see [ready-made SwiftUI components](/blogs/gotowe-komponenty-swiftui/), [an AI-ready Swift mappings boilerplate](/blogs/swiftui-core-limit-mapping-kit/), [a free UI8 alternative for iOS templates](/blogs/download-free-ui8-alternative-zip-file/), and [how to make an AI app look native on iOS](/blogs/make-ai-app-look-native-ios/). ## Combine the routes The fastest SwiftUI teams do not build common atoms by hand; they pull a library for a chart, a cached image, or a calendar, and generate the custom, design-specific components they cannot get off the shelf. So the workflow is: reach for a library for anything common and well solved, and generate your own from a VP0 reference for components that must match your unique design. Browse a curated list to find the right library quickly, and keep generated components reusable. Between the two, free components cover almost everything. ## Common mistakes The first mistake is hand-building common atoms a library already solves. The second is forcing a library to match a custom design it was not built for; generate that one. The third is not browsing a curated list, so you miss good libraries. The fourth is pulling in a heavy library for one small need. The fifth is paying for components when free libraries plus a VP0 reference cover it. ## Key takeaways - Free SwiftUI components come from open-source libraries and from generating your own. - Use libraries for common atoms: charts, cached images, calendars, cards. - Generate custom, design-matched components from a free VP0 reference. - Browse awesome-swiftui-libraries to find the right library fast. - Together, the two routes cover almost everything, free and yours. ## Frequently asked questions Where do I get free SwiftUI components? From open-source libraries (curated in awesome-swiftui-libraries) and by generating your own from a free VP0 design with an AI builder. What are good free SwiftUI component libraries? SwiftUICharts, CachedAsyncImage, ElegantCalendar, DeckKit, and many more organized by category, which remove boilerplate for common atoms. Should I use a library or generate a component? A library for common, solved atoms; a VP0 reference for custom, design-matched components. Is VP0 free? Yes, free forever. Copy a design link into an AI builder and it generates the SwiftUI component, no subscription. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where do I get free SwiftUI components? Two free routes: open-source libraries (curated in lists like awesome-swiftui-libraries on GitHub, covering charts, cached images, calendars, and cards) and generating your own from a free VP0 design with an AI builder. Use libraries for common atoms and VP0 for custom, design-matched components. ### What are good free SwiftUI component libraries? Curated lists point to widely used ones like SwiftUICharts (charts), CachedAsyncImage (image caching), ElegantCalendar (calendar), and DeckKit (card decks), organized by category. They remove boilerplate for common UI atoms. ### Should I use a library or generate a component? Use a library for common, well-solved atoms; generate your own from a VP0 reference for custom components matched to your design, which an AI builder makes fast while keeping the code yours. ### Is VP0 free? Yes, free forever. You copy a design link into an AI builder like Claude Code or Cursor and it generates the SwiftUI component, with no subscription or per-component fee. --- *Published on the [VP0 Journal](https://vp0.com/blogs).
