# systemContext

Contextual information that the system provides while it performs the app intent.

## Declaration

```swift
var systemContext: IntentSystemContext { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Access information the system provides to your app intent while it performs its action in its perform() implementation. The available information varies by platform. For example, in watchOS, the intent system context includes a precise timestamp when a person starts the app intent’s action using the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra.
