KZFileWatchers is a Swift micro-framework for observing file changes, both on the local filesystem and remotely via HTTP with Etag/Last-Modified support. It is designed as a building block for developer tools that let native apps reload configurations or feeds without recompiling.
Use cases
- watch local file changes in a Swift app
- observe a remote file on Dropbox or FTP for updates
- reload app configuration without recompiling in Xcode
- build developer tools that react to file edits
- observe files across the simulator sandbox from the desktop
- use a file watcher from Objective-C projects
When to choose
- you are building an iOS/macOS developer tool that needs local or remote file change observation
- you want a small, lightweight Swift library rather than a full framework
- you need Etag or Last-Modified based polling of files hosted on the web
- you need Objective-C interoperability
When to avoid
- you need high-performance watching of thousands of files
- your project is not in the Apple/Swift ecosystem
- you need actively developed features or recent Swift concurrency support
