appledoc

appledoc is command line tool that helps Objective-C developers generate Apple-like source code documentation from specially formatted source code comments. It's designed to take as readable source code comments as possible for the input and use comments as well as surrounding source code to generate visually appealing documentation in the form of HTML as well as fully indexed and browsable Xcode documentation set. Additionally, you can of course use documentation generated by appledoc for your products (free or commercial), but you must attribute appledoc either in the documentation itself or another appropriate place such as your website.
