The system font seems to still be Helvetica Neue for me. My machine is on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and Xcode is 10.0 (10A255). I'd like to change my app's font to use the SF font.
Not installed by default.
Find here how to install.

SF is strictly a system font and except for prototyping, devs are not free to use it in their own UI elements.
The San Francisco font is the system font used by apps and the system internally. Apple hasn't made this font available for users in the Font panel, as it is hidden. It is installed but can't be chosen in apps like Word, etc.
As mentioned below you can install the font yourself and it will show up in the font panel and be available in your apps like Word. See here:
https://developer.apple.com/fonts/
As was also mentioned, it is legally murky whether this is allowed, as Apple restricts use of the font you install yourself to UI mockups and prototyping. This is unfortunate because it is a great font for users and there are many interesting features available in the Typography pane of the Font panel.
For more info about special SF font features and an easy way for developers to use them in their app, feel free to check out my library I wrote:
