BFKit-Swift
BFKit-Swift is a collection of useful classes, structs and extensions to develop Apps faster.

As with other languages, you’d need bindings to another UI framework. In that sense, I wish SwiftUI had a different name because it seems intrinsic to Swift when it’s really no different than UIKit.
There’s stuff like SwiftCrossUI that does multiple backend bindings
https://github.com/stackotter/swift-cross-ui
And Qt was exploring some bindings using the new C++ interoperability.

SwiftGtk
A Swift wrapper around gtk-3.x and gtk-4.x that is largely auto-generated from gobject-introspection
SwiftUI workalikes: Tokamak [4] and SwiftCrossUI [5]
After exploring most of these for my use case (something that needs to run on an "embedded" RPi CM4 as well as iOS), I wrote a Swift bridge/runner for Flutter [6] which is working well. That enables me to write the UI in Dart and the business logic in Swift. I looked at all the other options below (that's how I know about them, indeed [3] I wrote as part of my research), in the end I felt that none of them were at the time of investigating sufficiently mature to base a product around.
