CocoaNav runs on Mac OS X 10.5.2+

All Cocoa in one glimpse CocoaNav reads frameworks right from /System/Library/Frameworks and displays them with their objects and methods.

All your Cocoa too ! CocoaNav can display the Cocoa class tree : add your frameworks and projects and you'll see where your classes fit in.

Image:cocoanavtile1.pngFramework view View all frameworks and their classes neatly arranged inside them. Image:cocoanavtile4.pngCrumb View Which class does it derive from ? With the Crumb View, you'll see that instantly.

Select any ancestor to see their siblings, click the arrow next to them to see their children.

You can browse all the class tree this way.

20080625 - CocoaNav_JS, a light Javascript version of CocoaNav. CocoaNav is Leopard only, and I see Tiger users and Windows users checking the page out :) If you're one of them, this will give you a quick way to discover the Cocoa Class Tree, each class having a link to Apple Developer.
