## What it is
An Xcode plugin that provides an Alfred/Spotlight-style action bar for quickly executing menu commands, code snippets, text transformations, and custom actions via keyboard. It was installed via Alcatraz and written in Objective-C.

## Use cases
- run any Xcode menu command from a keyboard-driven action bar
- sort or transform selected lines without navigating menus
- insert and manage text snippets with hotkeys
- quickly open unit tests related to the current file
- add prefix/suffix to multiple lines at once

## When to choose
- you are stuck on Xcode 7 or earlier and want fast keyboard-driven access to Xcode actions
- you want an Alfred-like command bar inside Xcode

## When to avoid
- you use Xcode 8 or later, where the plugin system is broken or unsupported
- you need a maintained tool with active support
