appledoc is a command-line tool that generates Apple-style documentation from Objective-C source code comments, producing HTML pages and Xcode documentation sets. It parses specially formatted comments in source files to build API documentation.

Use cases

  • generate Apple-style API docs from Objective-C comments
  • build Xcode docsets for an Objective-C library
  • produce HTML documentation for an iOS framework
  • document an Objective-C codebase for team onboarding
  • integrate documentation generation into a build pipeline

When to choose

  • you maintain an Objective-C or Objective-C++ codebase and want Apple-style docs
  • you need Xcode-installable documentation sets generated from source comments
  • you want docs that stay in sync with inline code comments

When to avoid

  • your project is written in Swift (use Swift DocC instead)
  • you need actively developed tooling with modern language support
  • you need documentation for non-Apple platforms or non-Objective-C languages
