## What it is
A Swift library for presenting customizable popovers above app content in SwiftUI and UIKit on iOS 13+ and iPadOS. It supports attaching to source views, picture-in-picture positioning, and multiple simultaneous popovers with smooth transitions.

## Use cases
- show a tooltip anchored to a button in SwiftUI
- display custom alerts or snackbars on iOS
- build a dropdown menu that works on iOS 13
- present a tutorial overlay pointing at UI elements
- show multiple popups at once with smooth transitions
- create a picture-in-picture floating view in an iPad app

## When to choose
- you need highly customizable popovers, alerts, or menus in SwiftUI or UIKit
- you want a drop-in replacement for iOS 14's Menu on iOS 13
- you need multitasking/iPadOS window support with zero dependencies

## When to avoid
- you're building for Android, web, or non-Apple platforms
- you only need native system alerts or menus without customization
- your project doesn't support iOS 13 or later
