A macOS app that wraps the system color picker with extra features like multiple color format conversion (Hex, HSL, RGB, OKLCH, CMYK), palettes, and a global keyboard shortcut. Although hosted on GitHub, the source code is no longer open-source; the app remains actively developed with GitHub issues used for feedback.

Use cases

• pick colors from anywhere on my mac screen
• convert colors between hex rgb hsl oklch and cmyk
• menu bar color picker app for macos
• copy color values quickly with keyboard shortcuts
• import adobe ase and simple color palette files
• keep a color picker window always on top

When to choose

• you want a supercharged native macOS color picker with format conversion and palettes
• you need a menu bar or global-shortcut-accessible color sampler
• you value an actively maintained, privacy-friendly app from a prolific developer

When to avoid

• you need open-source code you can inspect, fork, or contribute to
• you are on a platform other than macOS
• you need a cross-platform or CLI color tool
