Pipeta is a native macOS color picker for designers that lives in your menu bar. It allows you to pick colors from anywhere, organize palettes, check accessibility, and generate harmonies.
Pipeta is a native macOS color picker application designed for designers and developers who work with colors. It lives in the menu bar, providing quick access to color picking, organization, and accessibility checking tools directly from anywhere on the screen.
Designers and developers often need to capture colors from various sources, manage them efficiently, and ensure accessibility compliance, which can be fragmented across different tools. Pipeta centralizes these workflows into a single, fast application that integrates seamlessly into the macOS environment, solving the problem of scattered color management and slow accessibility checks.
A key feature is the global hotkey (⌘⇧P) that allows users to instantly pick any color on their screen from any app or window. This eliminates the need to switch between applications or use cumbersome built-in tools, making color capture effortless and immediate.
Every color picked is automatically saved into a history, which users can search, favorite, and organize with tags. This ensures that no color is ever lost, and users can quickly retrieve previously used colors without manual note-taking or memorization.
Pipeta supports copying colors in multiple formats including HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSLA with one click. This flexibility caters to different workflows and tools, whether for web development, design software, or documentation, providing exactly the format needed.
The Pro version includes advanced capabilities like generating color harmonies such as complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary palettes. Users can save these harmonies as palettes, enabling creative exploration and consistent color scheme development directly within the app.
Another Pro feature is the instant WCAG contrast checker, which displays AA and AAA compliance at a glance. This allows designers to ensure their color choices are accessible by default, integrating accessibility checks seamlessly into the color selection process without consulting external documentation.
Pipeta works by residing in the macOS menu bar, offering a persistent yet unobtrusive interface. Its unique approach combines real-time color picking with organizational tools and accessibility validation, all through a native macOS experience that prioritizes speed and simplicity.
