## What it is
Pixel Perfect is a free open-source macOS utility that lets users run iPhone and iPad apps on Mac at 100% native resolution instead of the default 77% scaling. It fixes small and blurry text in iOS apps on Apple Silicon Macs by toggling per-app display settings.

## Use cases
- make iPhone apps on Mac render text larger and sharper
- fix blurry text in iPad apps running on Apple Silicon Mac
- run iOS apps at native resolution instead of 77% scaling
- improve legibility of small text in iOS apps on macOS
- adjust per-app scaling settings for iPhone and iPad apps on Mac

## When to choose
- you use iPhone or iPad apps on an Apple Silicon Mac and find their text too small or blurry
- you want a free, open-source tool to toggle native-resolution rendering per app
- you are on macOS Sonoma or later and comfortable granting Full Disk Access

## When to avoid
- you are on an Intel Mac or cannot run iOS apps on your Mac
- you prefer not to grant Full Disk Access to an unsigned, non-notarized utility
- you need to change scaling system-wide rather than per app
