Apple HIG: Interaction Patterns
Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.
Key Principles
-
Minimize modality. Use modality only when it is critical to get attention, a task must be completed or abandoned, or saving changes is essential. Prefer non-modal alternatives.
-
Provide clear feedback. Every action should produce visible, audible, or haptic response. Activity indicators for indeterminate waits, progress bars for determinate, haptics for physical confirmation.
-
Support undo over confirmation dialogs. Destructive actions should be reversible when possible. Undo is almost always better than "Are you sure?"
-
Launch quickly. Display a launch screen that transitions seamlessly into the first screen. No splash screens with logos. Restore previous state.
-
Defer sign-in. Let users explore before requiring account creation. Support Sign in with Apple and passkeys.
-
Keep onboarding brief. Three screens max. Let users skip. Teach through progressive disclosure and contextual hints.
-
Use progressive disclosure. Show essentials first, let users drill into details. Don't overwhelm with every option on one screen.
