Using the Chronicle Plugin for Xcode
The Chronicle plugin has only a few features, but they are powerful and valuable features that will save you time and add consistency to your Xcode development.
There are really only two roles which Chronicle is intended to play. Chronicle is a File Editor... it enables you to create content which you can later use and reuse in your projects, adding reliability and structure to how you develop applications. Chronicle is a File manager... it provides it's own mechanism for managing all of the Chronicle files you create while using the plugin, so you no longer need to leave Xcode to manage or edit your archive of development resources.
