## What it is
A Swift UIKit library that provides a UILabel subclass with an animated glitch text effect for iOS. It supports installation via CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager, and works in storyboards or programmatically.

## Use cases
- add a glitch effect to text labels in an iOS app
- create retro CRT-style animated text in Swift
- display stylized glitching headlines in a mobile UI
- use a custom UILabel with distortion animation in storyboard
- make cyberpunk-style text animations on iOS

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made glitch text effect in a Swift iOS app
- you want a lightweight drop-in UILabel replacement with storyboard support
- you prefer a small MIT-licensed UI component over building custom Core Animation effects

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform frameworks
- you need actively maintained code with modern Swift versions and recent iOS support
- you need text effects other than glitch styling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: uikit, glitch-effect, cocoapods, swift, ios, mobile
