iOS Segmented Control in Tailwind CSS

Apple's segmented control: a grey track, a white thumb that slides between segments, and the hairline dividers iOS draws between unselected segments. The port deletes the measuring script — the thumb moves with translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)] — and adds the divider detail with an arbitrary sibling variant.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • The 30-line measuring controller is gone: the thumb is w-[calc((100%-4px)/3)] translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)], the index comes from has-[#…:checked]:[--i:N].
  • The thumb now animates transform instead of left + width — compositor-only, no layout per frame.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: real iOS divider hairlines between unselected segments, hidden beside the thumb via [:has(:checked)+&]:before:opacity-0, and the active label gains semibold weight like UIKit.
  • UI upgrade: the control sits in a calendar card with a live summary panel; no misaligned-thumb flash before scripts load, because there are none.

How this works

The thumb is one segment wide. The track has 2px padding, so each segment is a third of 100% - 4px. Translating by its own width per index lands it exactly:

<span class="absolute inset-y-0.5 left-0.5 w-[calc((100%-4px)/3)]
  translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)] rounded-[7px] bg-white shadow-…">

The iOS divider rule. Real segmented controls draw a hairline between unselected segments and hide it on either side of the thumb. Two variants say exactly that: hide it on the checked segment, and on the segment right after a checked one:

has-checked:before:opacity-0 [:has(:checked)+&]:before:opacity-0

Make it yours

  • Dark mode: track bg-white/14, thumb bg-[#636366], labels white.
  • Two or four segments: change the thumb's divisor and the --i list.
  • Tint the thumb with a brand colour and flip the active label to white with has-checked:text-white.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • [:has(:checked)+&] relies on the labels being adjacent siblings — keep the thumb span after the last label, not between them.
  • The thumb's radius (7px) must be the track radius minus the 2px gap, or the inset looks uneven.
  • Labels must sit above the thumb (relative z-10) or the thumb covers the text.
