How do I use the Figma macOS Sequoia UI Kit?

Question: Guide for Using Apple's macOS Sequoia UI Kit in Figma?

I recently discovered that Apple has published a "macOS Sequoia UI Kit" on their Figma profile: https://www.figma.com/@apple

As someone new to both UI kits in Figma and Mac app development, I'm looking for guidance on how to use this UI kit when designing a Mac app. Does anyone know if such a resource exists? I haven't been able to find one so far.

Background

  • I started developing a new macOS app about a month ago and have a basic working version with early functionality.
  • I've realized I need to take a step back and create visual prototypes to inform where to invest future development time.
  • The Sequoia UI Kit seems like it could be helpful, but I'm unsure how to use it.

iOS but not macOS

There are several tools available for designing iOS apps:

  • https://createwithplay.com/
  • https://www.judo.app/
  • https://detailspro.app/

However, I'm not aware of similar tools specifically for macOS application design.

Direction

  • Apple publishes design UI kits for both Figma and Sketch.
  • I want to avoid paying for Sketch (this is a hobby project), so I'm focusing on the Figma option.

Ideally, I'd love to see the iOS-focused tools mentioned above support macOS design fully. Until then (if ever), I'm hoping to make the most of the Sequoia UI Kit in Figma.

Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated!
