Pedestal is a C++ application framework for developing Mac OS applications which conform to Mac human interface standards and provide commonly expected and desired features. Its function is to simplify the task of writing a Mac application (with attention to both Mac and non-Mac developers), with the intention of fostering open-source development on the Mac. Design goals are fidelity/accuracy, modularity, and elegance.

Pedestal has been developed in part using A-line, a custom build system based on MPW, MacPerl, and dmake.
Pedestal relies on Telegraph, an Apple events class library.
