## What it is
A small Objective-C library providing JCRBlurView, a UIView subclass that renders a realtime iOS 7-style blur of the views behind it by embedding a UIToolbar. It is distributed via CocoaPods or by copying two source files into a project.

## Use cases
- add a frosted glass blur overlay to an iOS view
- recreate the iOS 7 translucent blur effect without private APIs
- blur content behind a modal or overlay view in realtime
- add a blur background view with Auto Layout support

## When to choose
- you are building an older iOS 7-era app in Objective-C and need a simple realtime blur view
- you want a drop-in UIView with no dependencies beyond UIKit

## When to avoid
- you target modern iOS, which offers UIVisualEffectView natively
- you need Swift or actively maintained code - the project has had no releases since 2017

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, graphics
- domain: mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: objective-c, blur-effect, uiview, cocoapods, ios7, ios, mobile
