Apple Human Interface Guidelines
Apple's guidance on designing for iOS, macOS, watchOS and visionOS.
What it is
The Human Interface Guidelines describe how Apple platforms should look, feel and behave: navigation patterns, typography (San Francisco), colour, layout, accessibility, and every system component. They are opinionated and beautifully written.
Why it’s here
Required reading if you're building anything that runs on an Apple device, and a great reference for restraint even on the web. The sections on typography and accessibility are especially good.
Best for
- iOS and macOS apps
- mobile patterns
- accessibility guidance
- learning platform conventions
Can my agent use this?
Agent good agent friendlinessYes. Public docs an agent can read. Link the specific page (for example "Buttons" or "Typography") and ask the agent to follow it.
Good: Publicly accessible and useful to reference, but the agent will need to interpret it rather than install it.
Access methods
- Docs
- Public website
