## What it is
An iOS UI component library providing a folding, animated tab bar and a custom UITabBarController subclass. Tapping a central button expands the bar to reveal tab items, each optionally with extra left/right action buttons.

## Use cases
- add an animated folding tab bar to an ios app
- customize uitabbarcontroller with a folding animation
- create a tab bar with a central expand button
- add extra action buttons to ios tab bar items
- implement a dribbble-style tab bar animation in swift or objective-c

## When to choose
- you want a distinctive animated tab bar on iOS 7+ with CocoaPods or Carthage integration
- you need a tab bar that expands from a single central button
- you want per-item secondary action buttons without leaving the selected screen

## When to avoid
- you need a standard, convention-compliant iOS tab bar
- you target modern iOS design guidelines like SwiftUI or UIKit tab bars with large content
- you need a actively developed component with recent updates
