01
Magnify before you commit
The loupe zooms into the pixel grid under your cursor so you pick the exact pixel you meant, not the one next to it. Works anywhere on screen, over any app.
ColorSnipper
Pixel-perfect colour picking, from the menu bar
ColorSnipper lives in the menu bar and answers one question fast: what colour is that pixel? Hit the hotkey, magnify, click, and the value is on your clipboard in whichever format you actually use.

At A Glance
- Magnifier loupe

What It Does
02
Nine formats, one click
HEX, RGB, HSL, a CSS variable, the nearest Tailwind token, or a plain colour name. Pick the format you work in and the clipboard is ready to paste straight into code.
03
Build palettes as you go
Every pick lands in history, and anything worth keeping goes into a named palette. The colours you sampled an hour ago are still there when you need them again.
04
Export somewhere useful
Send a palette out as CSS variables, JSON, or a PNG swatch, so it can go into a stylesheet, a design token file, or a message to someone else.

Requirements
- macOS 14 or later
- Apple Silicon
- 3.5 MB download
- Version 1.0.0
- Lives in the menu bar, stays out of the Dock
Distributed outside the Mac App Store, so macOS asks before the first launch: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Needed once per app.

Buying And Licensing
01 How many Macs does one licence cover?
Two. Every licence covers activation on up to two Macs that you own or control, for personal and commercial use alike.
02 Is this a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase. Pay once, keep the app, and no renewal ever appears on your card.
03 What does the free trial include?
The trial is the app itself, so you can confirm it works on your Mac, with your macOS version and your workflow, before spending anything.
04 Can I get a refund?
If a technical issue makes the app unusable and it cannot be fixed, yes: within 14 days of purchase, processed by Paddle back to your original payment method.
Try ColorSnipper on your Mac
Download the trial, see how it fits, and buy it only if it earns its place.
