TranslateKit
TranslateKit lets you translate your iOS apps using context-aware AI that understands your app's purpose, with no API keys or setup needed.
Using sophisticated AI prompts engineered for mobile apps, it transforms how developers handle String Catalogs in iOS apps. The AI considers UI contexts, cultural nuances, and Apple's standards to deliver translations that feel native to each locale.
Why you will like it:
Native-quality translations that follow Apple's localization standards.
Intelligent handling of gender, formality, and cultural adaptations.
Preserves technical elements while adapting to length constraints.
Project-wide workflow – manage all String Catalogs in one place.
TranslateKit SDK with 2,000+ pre-translated UI texts.
Affordable pricing starting at $0.99/month with a free first month.
SwiftSoup
SwiftSoup is a pure Swift library for working with real-world HTML. It's cross-platform and provides a convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, similar to DOM, CSS, and jQuery. SwiftSoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification and parses HTML like modern browsers.
Why you will like it:
Easily parse HTML from a URL, file, or string.
Find and extract data using DOM traversal or CSS selectors.
Modify HTML elements, attributes, and text.
Clean user-submitted content to prevent XSS attacks.
Generate well-formed HTML output.
Handles all kinds of HTML, even invalid or malformed code.
Works across all Apple platforms and Linux.
Supports CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager for easy installation.
InjectionIII
InjectionIII adds "Hot Reloading" to iOS, tvOS, and macOS projects written in Swift or Objective-C. This allows developers to see code changes reflected in their running app instantly, without recompiling or restarting, speeding up iteration.
Why you will like it:
See code changes live without restarting the app, significantly speeding up development.
Inject changes into SwiftUI views, enabling rapid UI development.
Works seamlessly with Objective-C projects.
Simple installation and setup process.
Integrates directly with Xcode for a smooth development experience.
Supports iOS, tvOS, and macOS development.
Available at no cost.
Streamlines the development workflow and makes it easier to test UI changes and minor code adjustments.
