Swift Stream

Swift Stream is a powerful IDE for VS Code that enhances your ability to work with Swift projects beyond the traditional iOS/macOS ecosystem.

🐳 Containerized Swift Development

It gives you the ability to write Swift code for multiple streams on any platform, all inside a Docker container!

The extension provides a convenient environment packed with features that together deliver an incredible development experience.

🌊 Choose Your Stream

• Web: Progressive web apps using WebAssembly
• Server: Backend apps using Vapor and Hummingbird
• Pure: Libraries, macros, CLI tools, etc.

Projects for any of these streams can be easily created via the "Start New Project" wizard:

⌛️ Coming Soon (WIP)

• Android: Apps and libraries via JNI
• Embedded: ESP32-C6

📱 iOS, macOS, etc.

For iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms, you still need to use Xcode.

🖥️ Where Does It Work?

Literally anywhere VS Code is available!

On Windows, Linux, and macOS, you'll have the same experience since your code and tools always run inside the same containerized environment — powered by Docker + DevContainer or via SSH tunnel.

💁‍♂️ Why Choose Containerized Development?

• Keeps your machine clean — no more toolchain and CLI-tools mess
• Even very old projects will still compile, since they retain the original environment
• You can deploy binaries compiled inside the container immediately
• Easily switch between toolchains with one click
• Work on a slow device by tunneling into a more powerful machine or server via SSH

🌷 Main Goals

• Stay developer-friendly
• Let Swift newcomers start playing right away
• Provide as many useful tools, conveniences, and features as possible

🧰 Functionality

First of all, you can easily create new Swift projects in an isolated, well-prepared environment.

Each stream provides a thoughtfully designed project interface, crafted with love to make maintaining your Swift project a joy.

💎 Features Collection

Enhance your development experience in each stream by installing powerful features with just one click!
