SwiftUI library that creates glass morphism text effects using the latest SwiftUI glass effect API.
- Glass morphism text rendering via the SwiftUI glass effect
- Font customization (designs: default, serif, monospaced, rounded)
- Font weights from ultraLight to black
- Cross-platform: iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS (visionOS not supported)
- Text alignment (leading, center, trailing)
- Localization with LocalizedStringResource
- Easy integration with a simple, modern API
- Performance optimized with Core Text for precise metrics
- iOS 26.0+ / macOS 26.0+ / tvOS 26.0+ / watchOS 26.0+
- Swift 6.2+
- Xcode 26.0+

)text: The text to display (String or LocalizedStringResource)glass: The glass effect to apply (default:.clear).clear- Clear glass effect.regular- Regular glass effect.regular.tint(.color)- Regular glass with custom tint color
// Clear glass (default)

// Regular glass

GlassText("Red Tinted", glass: .regular.tint(.red))
GlassText("Blue Tinted", glass: .regular.tint(.blue))
GlassText("Custom Tinted", glass: .regular.tint(.purple))GlassText uses SwiftUI's font system. You can customize fonts using standard SwiftUI modifiers:
GlassText("Your Text")
.font(.system(size: 32, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))
.fontDesign(.serif)
.fontWeight(.heavy)GlassText("Left Aligned", glass: .regular)
.multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
GlassText("Center Aligned", glass: .regular)
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
GlassText("Right Aligned", glass: .regular)
.multilineTextAlignment(.trailing).ultraLight.thin.light.regular.medium.semibold.bold.heavy.black
.default- System default font.serif- Serif font family.monospaced- Monospaced font family.rounded- Rounded font family

}GlassText("""

image
.resizable()
.scaledToFill()
.ignoresSafeArea()
} placeholder: {

// Glass text
GlassText("Glass Effect", glass: .regular.tint(.white))
.font(.system(size: 64, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))
