ThinkingOrbs - Dotted, genuinely 3D loading indicators for AI in SwiftUI
by•
ThinkingOrb(.searching). That is the whole integration. Nine hand-tuned dotted loading indicators for AI and agent interfaces in SwiftUI: eight are real 3D forms, rotated, depth-shaded and z-sorted, and the ninth is a morphing outline. All drawn only in grayscale dots, so they sit quietly in any interface, light or dark. Every orb pauses itself offscreen, stays in phase with the others, and respects Reduce Motion. Swift 6, iOS 17+, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS, Swift Package Manager, MIT.

Hey, I am Jared, solo dev behind ThinkingOrbs. I wanted loading indicators for AI interfaces that felt genuinely three dimensional, not flat spinners. Nine hand tuned designs, two sizes, one line to drop in. Eight are real 3D forms, rotated, depth shaded and z sorted, the ninth is a morphing outline. All are drawn only in grayscale dots, so they sit quietly in light or dark interfaces, pause offscreen, and respect Reduce Motion. Which design reads best at small sizes?
