A Swift library for iOS that keeps any UIView visible above the keyboard without requiring a UIScrollView. It translates or animates constraints of a registered avoiding view when the keyboard appears and restores it when dismissed.

Use cases

• keep text fields visible above the keyboard in iOS forms
• avoid keyboard overlap without using a scroll view
• move any UIView up when the keyboard is shown
• handle iPad split and undocked keyboards
• support third-party keyboards in an iOS app
• animate Auto Layout constraints when the keyboard appears

When to choose

• you need keyboard avoidance for arbitrary UIViews, not just text fields
• you want a lightweight solution without embedding content in a UIScrollView
• your app uses Auto Layout or AutoresizingMask layouts
• you need iPad split/undocked keyboard support

When to avoid

• you prefer scrollable content that users can pan manually
• you're building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit
• you need a heavily maintained library with frequent updates
• you need cross-platform (non-iOS) keyboard handling
