In its own words, an introduction to Material Design 3 with styles and components, built to work with the Material Theme Builder plugin.
Use Appetite UI if
Material roles need to carry your brand and the same app ships on iOS.
brand/base is one color that the Material primary role and the iOS tint both resolve to, and System mode returns each platform to its published value.
Use both when Google's kit is your reference for the Android baseline.

Two platforms
What a second platform adds.
Three things this file draws that a one platform kit does not, each with the page that shows it in full.
iOS
The same screen on iOS
Switch the Platform mode to ios-lg and the screen takes 44 point targets, a 44 point top bar and 8 point corners.
Brand
One variable, not a generated theme
The Material primary role resolves to brand/base as you set it, and System mode returns the published value.
Handoff
The same name in four codebases
One variable arrives as a CSS property, a SwiftUI color, a Compose theme value and a Flutter constant.
