PeepOpen is an alternative QuickOpen app. It replace the various (more or less bad) dialogs from TextMate, Xcode or some other tools. I just tested it with Xcode, and it’s awesome.

The tool is based on this blog post rant.

And yet most text editors offload these important tasks to the operating system or implement half-hearted custom solutions. Even worse, third-party plugins frequently implement file-jumping functionality for different frameworks with unique, cryptic key mappings (e.g. between implementation and test or controller and view template). This is a core task! Editors should approach it with the same innovation and care they spend on basic text entry.

It has fuzzy-style pattern matching and even shows your git versioning status next to the file. Nuff’ said, watch the short screencast and try for yourself!
