Periphery is a tool that identifies unused code in Swift projects, detecting dead code such as unused functions, properties, and imports. The original open-source repository is preserved as a historical record after the project transitioned to a commercial product, though it remains forkable.

Use cases

• find unused code in my swift project
• detect dead code in xcode projects
• identify unused functions and properties in swift
• remove unused imports from ios codebase
• run dead code analysis in ci for swift
• clean up assign-only properties in swift

When to choose

• you maintain a Swift, iOS, or macOS codebase and want to eliminate dead code
• you need dead-code detection integrated into Xcode or CI pipelines
• you want a forkable open-source version to build upon

When to avoid

• you need active open-source development or official support - the project is now commercial
• you work outside the Swift/Apple ecosystem
• you want guaranteed updates - the repo is preserved as a historical record only
