## What it is
A customizable Swift UI component for iOS that replaces UISegmentedControl and UISwitch. It supports text or icon segments, extensive styling options, Interface Builder design, and accessibility.

## Use cases
- replace uisegmentedcontrol with a customizable segmented control
- build an ios toggle switch with custom colors and animations
- add icon-based segmented tabs to an ios app
- design a segmented control in interface builder
- support right-to-left languages in segmented controls

## When to choose
- you need a highly customizable segmented control or switch on iOS
- you want Interface Builder designability and accessibility out of the box
- you need text, icon, or custom segments in one component

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform (Android/web) control
- you only need the stock UIKit controls with minor tweaks
- you need a component actively adding new features
