## What it is
OvershareKit is an Objective-C library for iOS that provides rich, customizable sharing functionality, including share sheets, multi-account management, and integrations with services like Twitter, Facebook, and Instapaper. It offers a more flexible alternative to UIActivityViewController with features like dark mode and text editing views.

## Use cases
- add rich sharing options to an iOS app
- replace UIActivityViewController with a more customizable share sheet
- manage multiple social media accounts with secure keychain credential storage
- share content to Twitter and Facebook using built-in iOS account integration
- add as-you-type Twitter syntax highlighting to a share composer
- share links to read-later services like Instapaper

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or building a legacy Objective-C iOS app that needs deep sharing customization
- you need multi-account social sharing with keychain-stored credentials that UIActivityViewController cannot provide
- you want a polished share sheet with dark mode and custom full-color icons

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new iOS project, since the library is no longer under active development
- you only need basic sharing that UIActivityViewController already covers
- you are building in Swift and want an actively maintained dependency
