# Macos App Best Practices — This skill covers the core patterns for building macOS applications, from choosing the right scene types (WindowGroup, DocumentGroup, Settings, MenuBarExtra) to managing multiple windows and menu bar integration. It explains when to use SwiftUI versus AppKit, how to gate platform-specific code, and provides practical guidance on Mac Catalyst for bringing iPad apps to macOS.
