## What it is
Puppertino is a lightweight, modular CSS framework that brings the macOS look and feel to web applications, following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. It supports per-component imports via CDN or NPM and includes a built-in dark mode manager with pure CSS theming.

## Use cases
- make my website look like a native macos app
- css framework following apple human interface guidelines
- add dark mode with light and dark themes to my site
- import only the css components i need to keep bundle small
- style buttons and forms like macos ui

## When to choose
- you want a macOS/Apple-inspired design system for a web app
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free CSS framework
- you want to import only specific components to minimize page weight
- you need built-in dark/light theming with pure CSS

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured framework with JavaScript components and state management
- you want a neutral or customizable design language rather than Apple's
- you need Material Design, Bootstrap, or Tailwind-style utility classes
- your project must strictly follow non-Apple design guidelines
