Interface Builder is a software development program for Mac OS X (macOS) and part of Xcode. Interface Builder is an application for designing and testing user interfaces. Developers can use Interface Builder to create user interfaces that follow the Mac OS X (macOS) human-interface guidelines by dragging user-interface elements from a palette of predefined controls and dropping them into the window or view they are configuring. Interface Builder works closely with Xcode to provide a development experience that facilitates the concurrent but specialized development of an application's user interface and business logic.

Interface Builder is Apple's graphical editor for designing user interface components for both Carbon and Cocoa applications. Interface Builder makes creating an application's user interface easier by allowing developers to use its graphical editing environment to manage virtually every aspect of creating a well designed user interface that adheres to the Aqua user interface guidelines.

Key Interface Builder Features

  • Helps you design Aqua-compliant user interfaces with the "Snap to Aqua Guidelines" feature
  • Creates both Cocoa nibs and Carbon nibs
  • Simplifies usage of CarbonEvents by allowing you to associate command/control IDs with your controls/menu items directly in Interface Builder
  • A key part of the Cocoa application development process - lets you subclass, connect objects, and establish default values, helping your application require less code
  • "Test Interface" mode lets you try your UI without writing any code
  • Spell Checks your UI text as you go
