In-app design review tool to inspect measurements, attributes, and animations. Hyperion is a hidden plugin drawer that can easily be integrated into any app. The drawer sits discreetly under the app so that it is there when you need it and out of the way when you don't. Hyperion plugins are designed to make an inspection of your app quick and simple. The View Inspector plugin allows you to inspect the properties of any view live within the app. Have a tiny view you want to inspect? No problem, you can zoom in on any portion of the app while the plugin is active. The Measurements plugin allows you to measure the distance between any two views on the screen. No more guessing whether padding is correct-this plugin has you covered. Have trouble verifying an animation matches the design? The Slow Animations plugin allows you to slow down all animations within the app to 75%, 50%, or 25% of the normal speed.

Jazz Hands is a simple keyframe-based animation framework for UIKit. Animations can be controlled via gestures, scroll views, KVO, or ReactiveCocoa. Jazz Hands is used extensively in IF and DO by IFTTT for iPhone and iPad, most famously in the app intro. Open JazzHandsDemo.xcworkspace to see a simple demonstration of moving, scaling, fading, and transforming views in a scrolling app intro. To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory. Looking to incorporate Jazz Hands into your Swift project? Check out RazzleDazzle, our brand new scrolling keyframe animations library reimagined in Swift. As a bonus, because it's built on top of the animations library, you can even tell JazzHands that you'd like one of your views to show up on multiple pages while other views scroll past, with a single call to keepView:onPages. To see the new JazzHands 2.0 AutoLayout magic in action, check out the example project.

CamelBones is a Cocoa/Perl bridge for Mac OS X. It allows easy access to the Cocoa API for Perl developers. It also allows easy, object-oriented access to an embedded Perl interpreter for Objective-C developers.

AAChartKit is an elegant and friendly (user-friendly && enviroment-friendly) chart framework for iOS, based on the open source Highcharts JS libraries. AAChartKit is extremely powerful, easy to configure and a pleasure to use. Currently AAChartKit includes support for the following chart types: column chart, bar chart, area chart, area spline chart, line chart, spline chart, radar chart, polar chart, pie chart, bubble chart, pyramid chart, funnel chart, column range and area range chart. More chart types are planned to be supported. AAChartKit gives you easy and fast access to a wide range of chart types, hassle-free and quick to integrate into your own project. Unlike previous imperative programming techniques, drawing any custom chart in AAChartKit, you don't need to care about the inner implementation details which is annoying && boring.

ACCELA is a library of wrapper classes for the Mac OS toolbox. It features a complete set of Carbon Events classes, which can also be used with PowerPlant. Other classes cover Navigation Services, Core Foundation, QuickTime, QuickDraw, AppleEvents, etc.

Chameleon is a lightweight, yet powerful, color framework for iOS (Objective-C & Swift). It is built on the idea that software applications should function effortlessly while simultaneously maintaining their beautiful interfaces. With Chameleon, you can easily stop tinkering with RGB values, wasting hours figuring out the right color combinations to use in your app, and worrying about whether your text will be readable on the various background colors of your app. With a plethora of color choices available for text, it's difficult to choose one that all users will appreciate and be able to read. Whether you're in doubt of your text and tint color choices, or afraid to let users customize their profile colors because it may disturb the legibility or usability of the app, you no longer have to worry. With Chameleon, you can ensure that all text stands out independent of the background color.

A collection of protocols implemented by the Cocoa root objects (NSObject and NSProxy) to control message delivery, and a testing framework. Higher order messages (HOMs) allow specification of how a message is to be performed.

Coconut I/O Framework supports I/O access (such as file, network access) for Mac OS X.

ComponentKit is an Objective-C++ view framework for iOS that is heavily inspired by React. ComponentKit uses a declarative API to define UI components. You simply describe the layout for your UI based on a set of immutable inputs and the framework takes care of the rest. With code generation, ComponentKit can perform optimizations for your UI under the hood, while keeping your code simple and easy to maintain. ComponentKit can measure and layout your UI ahead of time without blocking the UI thread. By decoupling its layout system from UIKit, ComponentKit can drop the UI thread constraint. ComponentKit uses Yoga for layout and automatically reduces the number of UIViews that your UI contains. This, in addition to ComponentKit's text optimizations, allows for much smaller view hierarchies and improves both memory and scroll performance. With ComponentKit, each UI item such as text, image, or video is recycled individually.

CyberLink for MacOSX a development package for UPnP and MacOSX developers. Using the package, you can create UPnP applications easily with Objective-C on MacOSX.

DisplayKit is a wrapper framework for the Mac OS X CoreGraphics API designed to provide an Objective-C interface to the following services: display capturing, resolution switching, gamma fading, getting display attributes, and more.

DotNetOpenServer SDK is an open source lightweight fully extendable TCP socket client/server application framework enabling developers to create highly efficient, fast, secure and robust cloud based smart mobile device and desktop applications. Why? Unlike most application server frameworks, which are implemented over slow inefficient stateless protocols such as HTTP, REST and SOAP that use bulky ASCII data formats such as JSON and XML, DotNetOpenServer has been built from the ground up with highly efficient stateful binary protocols.
