What Moving Parts does
Moving Parts is a library of components for iOS. Everything your designers and engineers are building that isn’t unique to your app, we can do better and cheaper. We're building high-level SwiftUI components that plug right into your application, made to solve real-world problems when designing and building a native mobile app. Our components are also highly styleable and take care of responsiveness, localization, accessibility, and follow all platform best practices around dark mode, dynamic font size etc.

Moving Parts
Delightful components for iOS
We are building a library of reusable SwiftUI components for iOS apps. Our components handle common design and engineering problems that aren't unique to individual apps, like responsiveness, localization, accessibility, dark mode, and dynamic fonts. This lets designers and engineers build apps faster and with less code by plugging in well-designed, styleable pieces instead of reinventing basics.
We live in Berlin, Germany, and the company is currently remote, based here and distributed. After YC we'd remain remote but with improved access to the US market and network.
We chose Berlin because it's where we live and can operate efficiently. Berlin's a hub with strong developer talent and a good base for building a remote-first product for global iOS teams.
