apple-hig
Use when a design decision turns on what the Apple Human Interface Guidelines actually say — the HIG rule/spec/best-practice for a control, pattern, layout, color, typography, accessibility, or platform convention; verifying a design claim against Apple's guidance; or needing an exact HIG specific (hit-target size, when to use one control vs another, per-platform behavior) for macOS/AppKit or any Apple platform. Bundles the complete HIG offline (snapshot 2026-06-10).
