Fireworks

Fireworks is a macOS‑only editor for designing particle effects that can be used in iOS and macOS applications. It provides an interactive canvas where users can adjust a wide range of parameters—such as emitter shape, texture, and numeric values—by dragging controls for rapid tweaking. Changes are reflected instantly in a preview, allowing developers to see the visual result without rebuilding their app.

The tool generates Swift code for the configured particle system on the fly, and includes a built‑in code editor where values can be edited directly. This tight integration lets developers copy the produced Swift snippets into their projects, streamlining the workflow between design and implementation.

Fireworks targets iOS and macOS developers who need a visual, iterative approach to particle effect creation, offering a more comprehensive alternative to Xcode’s built‑in particle editor. The application is distributed through the App Store and also available for direct download, with a stable release status.
