SwiftKit

SwiftKit (abbreviated SK, formerly SwiftSwitch) is a program released by Jason Fah (Strider3282). The program has many extra features, including access to quick guides including quest, area, and treasure trails guides, a built-in IRC client, instant hiscore lookup table, and other tools including timers and counters. Swiftkit complies with of the rules put in place by RuneScape concerning third party software, although Jagex does not endorse or condone its use.

Features
SwiftKit incorporates many features to allow players to get the most out of RuneScape. These features are primarily designed to aid the user in playing RuneScape, though some are purely to make RuneScape more enjoyable.

Game-Related
Features that have been incorporated to make playing RuneScape easier, as well as more neat and orderly include an instant hiscore look up, instant item look up, an IRC client, skill calculators, a gravestone timer, a stopwatch, and easy access to a notepad and calculator. SwiftKit also includes many links to helpful quest, skill, and treasure trail guides.

Other Features
Swiftkit also includes features that are used simply to make playing RuneScape more personalized and enjoyable. these features include a music player, a clock, a customizable link window, and a way to take, crop, and save screenshots with one click.

Legality
There has been much controversy about whether or not SwiftKit was a legal program to use with RuneScape. Before, SwiftSwitch had hidden the ads for free users, as well as made automated server requests for player numbers and bypassed both the front page and world select page. In SwiftKit, the new version of SwiftSwitch, ads cannot be hidden for free players, the front page and world select pages cannot be bypassed, and the program no-longer checks for the number of players in each world. The most recent version of SwiftKit complies with all rules set by Jagex, and is therefore legal to use for all players.

Easter eggs
According to strider3282 there are currently there are four Easter eggs in SwiftKit, one in the launcher, one in Help > About, one in the internal stats-research utility, and one in the atlas. More easter eggs may be present, but so far they are unconfirmed. Another Easter egg that is no longer present due to severe inconvinience, if a user left SwiftSwitch running for 60 hours a series of pop-ups would question the user, claiming he/she was Zezima for having SwiftSwitch open for 60 hours straight. The final question in the pop-up barrage "Was Strider kidding?" set to "No" and returned the user to the beginning of the loop, this was to prevent users from holding down the Enter key until the pop-ups were cleared.

SwiftSwitch
SwiftSwitch was the precursor to SwiftKit, and allowed players to switch between worlds without having to return to the world select screen, hence the name of the program. Once this could no longer be done due to a change in Rule 7, the program was revamped and the creators of SwiftSwitch decided it was time for a name change since SwiftSwitch didn't really "Switch" worlds anymore. SwiftKit contains many of the same features as SwiftSwitch did, but most all of them have been updated to work better and more smoothly with the new program. SwiftKit also incorporated many new features to increase SwiftKit's usability. SwiftKit also strictly abides by the rules of RuneScape regarding third party software, and is updated whenever a change is necessary.
