Apple HIG: System Experiences
Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.
Key Principles
General
-
Glanceable, immediate value. System experiences bring your app's most important content to surfaces the user sees without launching your app. Design for seconds of attention.
-
Respect platform context. A Lock Screen widget has different constraints than a Home Screen widget. A complication is far smaller than a top shelf item.
Widgets
-
Show relevant information, not everything. Display the most useful subset, updated appropriately.
-
Support multiple sizes with distinct layouts. Each size should be a thoughtful design, not a scaled version of another.
-
Deep-link on tap. Take users to the relevant content, not the app's root screen.
