## What it is
A Swift library that simplifies launching external iOS applications and constructing deep links, with support for 172 apps and automatic web URL fallback when the target app isn't installed. It provides a typed, autocomplete-friendly API for defining app schemes and actions.

## Use cases
- open another app from my ios app with a deep link
- deeplink to instagram or twitter from swift
- fallback to a website when the target app isn't installed
- open the ios settings app programmatically
- launch the app store page for an app id
- define custom url scheme actions for external apps

## When to choose
- you're building an iOS, watchOS, or tvOS app in Swift and need to open external apps via deep links
- you want typed, autocomplete-friendly deep link actions instead of hand-built URL strings
- you need guaranteed web fallback when the target app may not be installed

## When to avoid
- you need Android or cross-platform deep linking
- you're on Swift 6 / recent iOS versions and need actively maintained dependencies (last release 2021)
- you only need to open a handful of URLs and don't mind writing UIApplication.open calls directly
