ios-haptics is a tiny JavaScript library that triggers native haptic feedback in Safari on iOS. It uses the <input type="checkbox" switch /> element introduced in Safari 17.4 to fire the Taptic Engine — no native APIs, no permissions, no polyfills needed. On Android it falls back to navigator.vibrate().
