Add that to a class that you want to use as a singleton object across multiple XIB files. If you have an init method, you might want to make sure you don't re-initialize the object that's already been initialized. Warning: feels like magic

+ (id) allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
    static id globalInstance;
    
    if(!globalInstance)
    {
        globalInstance = [super allocWithZone:zone];
    }
    
    return globalInstance;
}
