## What it is
Synx is a Ruby command-line tool that reorganizes an Xcode project's files on disk so the folder structure matches the groups shown in Xcode. It supports pruning unreferenced files, excluding groups, and sorting, and is installed via gem.

## Use cases
- sync xcode project folder structure with groups
- reorganize ios project files on disk to match xcode
- remove unreferenced files from xcode project
- clean up messy xcode project directory
- sort xcode groups and files by name

## When to choose
- you maintain an Xcode/iOS project whose Finder folders are out of sync with Xcode groups
- you want to prune files not referenced by the Xcode project

## When to avoid
- you don't use Xcode or work on Apple-platform projects
- you need an actively maintained tool - the latest release is from 2019 and it may conflict with modern CocoaPods/Xcode workflows

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools, file-system
- domain: developer-tools, apple-ecosystem
- platform: cli, ruby
