Introduction

Hi, we're Awkward. We created a customizable image picker for our iOS reddit client called Beam. UIImagePickerController only supports selecting 1 image at a time, but we needed more images in Beam. Tatsi has built in support for selecting multiple images. On top of that, we integrated a camera button directly into the picker. We welcome you to use Tatsi for your own projects.

Features

• Multi selection of photos/videos using the photos library
• Ability to reverse the display order of images/videos
• Option to show a camera button inside the picker
• Assigning a max limit for the number of photos and videos
• Choosing the first view the user sees
• Ability to display the picker in a single view, merging the album view with the assets collection
• Accessibility (voice-over and switch control) is supported
• Easily Localizable
• Support for smart albums, user created albums and iCloud shared albums
• Support for dark mode by default
• Customization using the TatsiColors protocol
