About ColorPicker
ColorPicker is a timesaver color manager for macOS that makes picking and reusing colors effortless while coding. Browse any color on your screen from the menu bar or a dedicated window, zoom in with a Retina magnifier for pixel-perfect accuracy, and copy the result instantly as Swift, Objective-C or hex color code.
Main features
Status bar access
ColorPicker lives in your macOS menu bar and opens as a window app. Access it instantly without switching away from your code.
Retina zoom magnifier
A built-in magnifier zooms the area under your cursor with full Retina resolution, ensuring precise and reliable color picking with no guesswork.
Developer code output
Copy colors directly as Swift UIColor/NSColor, Objective-C UIColor/NSColor, or plain hex code — for both iOS and macOS targets.
Palette management
Drag and drop colors into a personal palette to save and reuse your favourite shades across projects, without starting from scratch every time.
