## What it is
A drop-in Objective-C library providing UIScrollView and UITableView subclasses that automatically keep text fields visible above the iOS keyboard. It adjusts content insets and offsets with keyboard-matched animations and wires up 'Next' keyboard buttons.

## Use cases
- keep text fields visible when the keyboard appears in iOS forms
- avoid keyboard covering UITextField in a scroll view
- auto-scroll UITableView when editing text fields
- wire up Next button to move between text fields
- drop-in keyboard avoidance for UITableViewController

## When to choose
- building UIKit-based iOS apps with forms and no existing keyboard handling
- wanting a zero-configuration subclass-based solution
- supporting older iOS codebases using Objective-C

## When to avoid
- building with SwiftUI, which has built-in keyboard avoidance
- needing actively developed Swift-first alternatives
- requiring customization beyond content inset adjustment

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
