## What it is
ProperTree is a cross-platform GUI plist editor written in Python and Tkinter, supporting XML and binary property lists. It includes OpenCore/Clover-specific features like OC Clean Snapshot and context-aware config.plist templates.

## Use cases
- edit macOS plist files with a gui
- edit OpenCore config.plist
- generate OC snapshot for kexts and ACPI entries
- convert plist values between base64 hex ascii and decimal
- view and edit binary property lists
- reorder plist dictionary keys with drag and drop

## When to choose
- you need a free cross-platform plist editor without Xcode
- you maintain Hackintosh OpenCore or Clover configurations
- you want drag-and-drop, undo/redo, and find/replace for plists

## When to avoid
- you need scripted or headless plist manipulation (use plutil or Python libraries)
- you only edit plists occasionally on macOS and already have Xcode installed
