SwiftClockUI – make custom clock use of swiftUI

July 9, 2025

Clock UI for SwiftUI

This library has been tested

✅💻 macOS Catalina 10.15.3
✅💻 macOS Big Sur 11.6
✅📱 iOS 13
✅📱 iOS 14
✅📱 iOS 15

For compatibility with Xcode version older than 13.3, I would recommend to checkout the 1.4.x tag, it should compile with Xcode 11 and greater

Bind a date


                                              
                                                struct ContentView: View {

@State private var date = Date()
var body: some View {

ClockView().environment(\.clockDate, $date)

}

}

Simply set .environment(\.clockDate, $date) $date has to be a binding. If you want something constant (just for showing the time), you could pass .constant(yourDate)

Arms move when date are set (take hour and minute in account)
Move the Arms change the date (hour and minute depending on which arm you’ve moved)

Change Clock style

There is 4 different clock style:

Style	Picture
Classic
Art Nouveau

Drawing
Steampunk

To set the style: .environment(\.clockStyle, .steampunk) for Steampunk style for instance.


                                              
                                                struct ContentView: View {

@State private var clockStyle: ClockStyle = .classic
var body: some View {

ClockView().environment(\.clockStyle, clockStyle)

}

}

\.clockStyle is typed as enum ClockStyle which is Identifiable, CaseIterable, and has a convenient method to get the description (in English): public var description: String

It’s very useful when you want to iterate over this enum to let the user choose the clock style, for instance you can easily do something like this:


                                              
                                                struct StylePicker: View {

@Binding var clockStyle: ClockStyle
var body: some View {

Picker(“Style”, selection: clockStyle) {

ForEach(ClockStyle.allCases) { style in

Text(style.description).tag(style)

}

}

.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())

}

}

Change elements color

You can also change the color of Clock elements. Again with changing some `.environment` keys.


                                              
                                                ClockView()

.environment(\.clockArmColors, ClockArmColors(

minute: .red,

hour: .blue

))

.environment(\.clockBorderColor, .orange)

.environment(\.clockIndicatorsColor, .green)

In light mode, you could expect a result like this:

Installation

Xcode

You can add SwiftToTen to an Xcode project by adding it as a package dependency.

From the File menu, select Swift Packages › Add Package Dependency…
Enter “https://github.com/renaudjenny/SwiftClockUI” into the package repository URL test field

As package dependency

Edit your Package.swift to add this library.


                                              
                                                let package = Package(
