An Xcode plugin that provides semantic syntax highlighting, assigning unique dynamic colors to properties, ivars, and local variables. It de-emphasizes types and keywords to make variable logic more visually apparent.
Use cases
- color variables uniquely in Xcode
- make code logic clearer with semantic highlighting
- reduce visual noise from keyword coloring
- customize Xcode syntax highlighting themes
When to choose
- you use an older Xcode (5-7 era) and want semantic variable coloring
- you find standard syntax highlighting unhelpful for tracking variables
When to avoid
- you use modern Xcode versions, as the plugin system is unsupported
- you need actively maintained tooling
