Requires an iOS project in Xcode and installation via CocoaPods or Carthage.
FileBrowser is a ready-made file browsing screen for iOS apps. Instead of building a file picker from scratch, a developer can drop this in and get a familiar, Finder-style interface where users can browse folders, preview files, and search, all with a few lines of setup. At a high level, it's a Swift component that opens to your app's documents directory by default. Users can pull down to search, tap to preview most file types (including plist and JSON), and use 3D Touch for quick previews. Developers can customize where it opens, which file types to exclude, and what happens when a user selects a file. It also supports editing and deleting files if the developer turns that on. This is for iOS developers building apps that need users to interact with local files, for example, a document manager, a notes app, or a utility that lets users browse exported data. Rather than spending time building a file picker UI, they get a polished one out of the box that supports previews, search, and customization. The project is built in Swift and supports installation through CocoaPods or Carthage, which are standard package managers for iOS development. It's designed to be lightweight and easy to integrate, with enough options to handle common use cases without forcing a particular workflow.
