## What it is
KxMenu is a lightweight Objective-C library that displays vertical popup menus in iOS applications. It is added by dropping source files into a project and showing menus with a single class method call.

## Use cases
- show a vertical popup menu from a button tap in an iOS app
- display a context menu with icons and titles on iOS
- add a dropdown-style action menu to a UIView
- present menu items with target/action callbacks in Objective-C
- build an iOS action sheet alternative with custom menu items

## When to choose
- you need a simple, dependency-free popup menu in an Objective-C or legacy iOS project
- you want a lightweight alternative to UIActionSheet with custom items and icons
- your app targets older iOS versions (iOS 5+)

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern SwiftUI or UIKit app that can use native UIMenu/UIContextMenuInteraction
- you need an actively developed library with recent updates and Swift support
- you need horizontal menus or highly customizable animations

- artifact type: library

- function: ui-components, gui
