## Kitsmith's take

The magnifying glass here is the original — introduced in 2010 and, per the developer, copied by most color pickers since. Hi-Precision mode targets individual physical pixels on a Retina display, and the export format list covers most languages and frameworks a developer would need (Swift, CSS, Android, .NET, and more). Apple stopped letting the developer ship Mac App Store updates, so ColorSnapper is now sold only as a direct download; former Mac App Store customers get a discount on the standalone license. An optional Pro upgrade adds modern CSS color spaces (oklch, oklab) and an LCH slider editor as a single paid add-on rather than a subscription.

## Features

- **Hi-Precision magnifying glass:** Targets individual physical pixels on Retina displays; also works across multiple displays and pixel densities.
- **30+ export formats:** Matches your code style across Generic, CSS, NSColor, UIColor, Swift, Android, Java, .NET, CGColor, and OpenGL formats.
- **Favorites & history:** Marks frequently used colors as favorites or reaches back through hundreds of previously picked colors.
- **Photoshop & Illustrator integration:** Sets foreground/background colors directly in Adobe tools without extra configuration, per the developer.

## FAQ

**Is ColorSnapper 2 still on the Mac App Store?**

No — Apple stopped letting the developer ship updates there; it’s now a direct download only, with a discount for former Mac App Store buyers.

**Is ColorSnapper a subscription?**

No — it’s a one-time $14.99 purchase; the Pro feature set is a separate one-time upgrade, not a recurring charge.
