## Kitsmith's take

Built around a color dock that stays pinned to a screen edge so palettes are always one click away, plus a contrast checker that can auto-fix low-contrast text or background colors. Smart Profiles and Smart Formats remove the manual step of matching a color format to whatever app you pasted from. One-time purchase with a year of updates included — after that, extending updates costs 70% of the original price rather than a recurring subscription.
