## What it is
A Swift library providing a UIVisualEffectView subclass with customizable blur radius, tint color, saturation, and iOS 26+ glass effect styles. It supports both UIKit and SwiftUI with package manager distribution via CocoaPods, Carthage, and SPM.

## Use cases
- add a blurred background with tint color to an iOS view
- create frosted glass overlay effects in SwiftUI
- customize blur radius and tint alpha on iOS
- use iOS 26 glass effect styles in UIKit
- build dynamic blur backgrounds behind modals or cards

## When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over blur radius and tint beyond UIVisualEffectView defaults
- you want a single library that works in both UIKit and SwiftUI
- you want easy access to new iOS glass effects with a simple API

## When to avoid
- you only need the standard system blur with no customization
- your app targets platforms other than iOS
- you need cross-platform (Android, web) blur effects
