UncrustifyX — a Mac formatting assistant
UncrustifyX is a free macOS utility that provides a graphical front end for the Uncrustify formatter. It combines a documentation viewer with an easy-to-use interface for creating and tuning code style profiles, so you can keep source files consistent and readable across projects.
Core capabilities
- Graphical editor for creating and editing Uncrustify style profiles.
- Built-in reference viewer showing Uncrustify options and descriptions.
- Support for a wide range of programming languages.
- Tools to apply, save, and switch between formatting presets quickly.
Benefits for developers
UncrustifyX helps teams and individual programmers enforce formatting rules without hand-editing or memorizing complex command-line options. Its visual configuration and documentation make it simpler to standardize indentation, spacing, line breaks, and other style choices. The application is grouped under Utilities & Tools and is especially useful when readability and consistent code layout are priorities.
Alternative to try
If you want another free tool to explore, consider Midi Router Client (free). Note that this alternative serves a different domain—MIDI routing and audio utilities—so it won’t replace a code formatter but may be useful if your workflow also touches audio/MIDI tasks.
