Aligning Children

LiftKit is more than just a collection of buttons and cards—it's a design system that empowers you to create your own unique components. Instead of pre-made UI elements, LiftKit provides the building blocks: variables and guidelines that shape the look and feel of your designs. Whether you're going for sleek minimalism or bold brutalism, LiftKit adapts to your creative vision, giving you the freedom to craft any aesthetic, from scratch, with ease.
