About
NameThat is a visual dictionary of UI elements that helps you learn the real names and API symbols for common interface components. Describe what you see in plain English — like 'the gray text inside the box that disappears when you type' — and get the correct technical term plus a precise prompt for your coding agent. Especially useful for designers and developers working across AppKit and SwiftUI on Mac.
What it can do
Identify the correct technical name for a UI element
Plain English description of a visual interface component → Official technical term for the UI element
Look up API symbols for UI components
Plain English description or name of a UI element → Precise API symbol or identifier for AppKit or SwiftUI
Generate coding agent prompts for UI implementation
Plain English description of a UI element → Precise, ready-to-use prompt for a coding agent
Translate visual UI descriptions into developer terminology
Informal or designer-language description of an interface component → Standardized developer vocabulary and nomenclature

Cross-reference UI components across AppKit and SwiftUI

Why it made the leaderboard
If you've ever typed 'the blurry background thing' into an AI coding agent and gotten garbage back, NameThat gives you the precise API name (NSVisualEffectView) so your prompts actually work. It's a focused, low-friction reference that saves the lookup friction every Mac/Swift developer hits daily.
