uIntelliSense — Unity API Assistant

Note: JavaScript/UnityScript is not supported.

uIntelliSense brings all the power of IntelliSense code hints to your Unity C# code.

Have you ever forgot the exact meaning of some method parameter, or stumbled upon a method you've never used before? Don't you think that searching through Scripting Reference is way too much work when all you really have to do is to hover over the code with your mouse?..

And this is exactly what uIntelliSense is about, providing useful hints for the Unity API - descriptions for types, variables, methods, method parameters etc.

Once you'll try it, you'll get used to it immediately. It is extremely helpful and time-saving, especially if you are a beginner who doesn't knows the Unity API very well.

Second part of uIntelliSense is a Visual Studio extension for Visual Studio 2012 and newer, for even better experience: in-IDE integrated Scripting Reference browser, Quick Search for Unity API and more! See details in the PDF manual below.

Unity 5.4 and newer is supported, both Windows and macOS editors.
Works in both MonoDevelop and Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2012 or newer is required for the extension to work. Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio Code are not supported.
