How do you get it running?

No README or documentation exists, so users must reverse-engineer setup and purpose entirely from source code.

No license information is provided, so it's unclear what rights you have to use or modify this code.

So what is it?

The repository named swift-app appears to be a project written in Swift, but its README is completely empty. Without any description, documentation, or instructions, there's no way to know what this app actually does or who it's for. Based on the name and primary language, it's likely a small iOS or macOS application built using Apple's Swift programming language. But that's just an educated guess from the repo's metadata, the project itself provides no confirmation of its purpose, features, or intended use case. Normally a README serves as the front door for a project, explaining what it builds, how to run it, and why someone might care. In this case, that door is missing entirely. The README doesn't go into detail on anything, not installation, not usage, not architecture, not goals. For a non-technical reader, there's simply not enough information here to evaluate whether this project is relevant or useful. Even a developer visiting the repository would need to dig into the source code directly to figure out what's going on, which is a high-effort ask for a project with only a handful of stars. In short, this is an undocumented Swift project. Whatever it does, the author hasn't yet provided a way for visitors to understand it without reading the code themselves.
