Large projects with multiple developers often result in code that is inconsistent in style. I am looking for a lint-like tool tailored to Objective-C that goes beyond the scope of the Clang Static Analyser and checks for adherence to stylistic conventions; e.g. braces, indentation, comment formatting, declaring variables at the top of functions and so on.

I am aware of AnalysisTool, but it doesn't quite do what I'm after. I saw this question asked elsewhere on SO, but it's not clear whether the question-asker was after the same thing.

Does such a tool exist?
