Currently the main application uses Core Data to manage persistent objects. I'd like to setup the helper application to be able to use the same persistent store. I've read through the Core Data documentation, specifically the section on concurrency, but I feel as though my situation is different from what is discussed in that document and I'm still a little confused as to what the best approach is.

Yes, as long as they're on the same computer.

Put your CoreData code into a framework shared by your applications. And use distributed notifications to keep the applications in sync.
