## What it is
A macOS desktop application that scans Xcode projects to find unused images and resources. It searches resource files and cross-references them against string references in code to report assets that are never used.

## Use cases
- find unused images in an xcode project
- clean up unused resources from an ios app
- reduce ios app bundle size by removing dead assets
- detect images referenced only via string concatenation
- audit asset catalogs for unreferenced imagesets

## When to choose
- you maintain an iOS or macOS Xcode project and want to slim down bundled resources
- you need a fast, simple GUI tool rather than a script
- your code references images dynamically with numbered suffixes

## When to avoid
- your project is not an Xcode/Apple-platform project
- you need automated CI cleanup rather than a manual desktop scan
- you need to detect unused non-resource files like unused code or classes

## Facets
