What problem does it solve?

Determine the correct text stack (AppKit vs UIKit) for a given feature by comparing platform capabilities. This guidance helps architects and engineers avoid platform-specific pitfalls when selecting the right framework for text editing and rendering tasks across macOS and iOS.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compare core text capabilities between NSTextView and UITextView, including rich text support, data detection, and interaction patterns.
  • Guide porting decisions for editor behavior between macOS and iOS, identifying API discrepancies and architectural gaps.
  • Support architecture decisions for feature-first planning, migration, or hybrid environments where platform-specific differences matter.

Quick Start

Ask to determine whether AppKit or UIKit should be used for a requested text capability.
