What is CodeIgniter Wizard?

I keep hearing about CodeIgniter Wizard but I am not sure exactly what it is or what problem it solves. Can someone give me a plain-language explanation?

CodeIgniter Wizard (CI Wiz) is a macOS desktop application that reads your MySQL or MariaDB database schema and generates a fully working CodeIgniter 4 web application from it. You point it at your database, select the tables you want to work with, configure a few options per field, click Generate, and it writes out the models, views, controllers, and entities — including form validation rules, Bootstrap-based HTML, DataTables list views, and Select2 dropdowns for foreign-key fields. The core idea is database-first RAD: you design your schema first, then get working CRUD scaffolding in seconds instead of writing it all by hand. The generated code is clean, secure, and portable — you can use it as a starting point and build on top of it, or selectively pull pieces of it into an existing project.
