Description

Adaptivity is an invaluable tool for developers and designers. Use it to visualize how Size Classes and margins for layout, readable content and the safe area look on real devices and how they change with respect to orientation, iPad multitasking and Dynamic Type size changes. A comprehensive System Images browser shows the different SF Symbols data sets across iOS versions with availability, localization and name change information. There are also views for visualising Dynamic Type styles, System Colors, System Fonts and System Materials.

The Mac version is built with Apple's Mac Catalyst technology. It deliberately avoids making too many Mac-specific customisations in order to demonstrate default behaviour when bringing an existing iPad app to Mac.

TESTIMONIALS
• “Adaptivity is not just highly recommended – it’s essential” — Paul Hudson, Hacking With Swift article “8 essential apps for iOS developers”, 30th March 2020.
• “It's a very, very good tool as a reference for both developers and designers” — Gui Rambo, Stacktrace podcast episode #77, 1st April 2020.
• “I'm not trying to spend your money, but to me this is a no-brainer” — Sean Allen YouTube video “Indie Dev Apps”, 12th April 2020.

Adaptivity (A) for Mac is a universal purchase and includes an iOS version of the app. Buying one allows the other to be downloaded at no extra cost using the same Apple ID. The iOS version includes even more features: Keyboard Dodging and Custom Keyboard, Pointer Interactions, Siri shortcut, Watch App, and iMessage App.

What’s New

Version 9.5

SYSTEM IMAGES
• Updated data for those living in the future.

If you find Adaptivity (A) useful, please rate or review it in the App Store, or recommend it other developers and designers. The app was first released in 2015 and I have never charged for a new version. Any additional contributions to the Tip Jar, big or small, are very welcome and will help keep it that way. This makes a huge difference to me and the future of the app.

Thanks in advance,
Geoff.

Just Buy It

absolutely invaluable tool for developers of any Apple platform. reading docs, tutorials, HIG, etc is one thing. but actually being able to see, play with, and explore all the platform provided UI mechanisms on an actual device provides nearly limitless inspiration for my own apps. there’s just sooooo many nice things about this tool, trust me it’s worth it’s price of entry. this is one of a few dev tools i’m happy and eager to recommend to fellow devs and coworkers

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the great review!

Handy Tool for Developers

Extremely thorough interactive examples of all sorts of UIKit layout.

I don’t use it often, but when I need to (like today), it saves a ton of time. (Today I was playing with pointer interaction—when I said thorough, I meant it.)

And there’s a detailed manual!

Worth paying for

This app saved me a boatload of design and development time, which is pretty amazing because I don’t own a boat.
