TMCoreDataStack is a simple class to setup a 2-context CoreData stack. What is that? Well we setup a background-thread Context that handles disk IO and a main-thread context which is a child of the background context that handles the bulk of your work.
When you make updates in the main-thread context and save, these saves are pushed in-memory to the background save context which handles getting them on to disk. By doing things this way your UI can remain responsive and stutter free!
In addition TMCoreDataStack provides a set of categories for NSManagedObjectContext and NSManagedObject which vastly simplifies using CoreData.
The whole rationale behind TMCoreDataStack is that 99% of the hard work can be done with a small set of functions and bigger libraries (like MagicalRecord) are often overkill (MagicalRecord is vast and awesome and depending on what you need from CoreData might be a better choice!).
TMCoreDataStack has been designed for iOS7 upwards taking advantage of all the recent updates CoreData has received, specifically block-based concurrency.
So, how does it work?
