Minimal iOS boilerplate templates for developers who prefer programmatic UI over Interface Builder
Amnesiac provides clean, production-ready iOS project templates that are configured 100% programmatically — no Storyboards, no LaunchScreens, no XIBs. Perfect for developers who want full control over their UI code and prefer a code-first approach.
- No Interface Builder - Everything is in code, making it easier to review, merge, and understand
- Language Interoperability - Templates demonstrating Swift ↔ Objective-C bridging
- Production-Ready - Minimal, clean setup that's ready to build upon
- Educational - Learn how to set up iOS projects programmatically and bridge between languages
This repository contains four ready-to-use templates:
