Pipeta is a native macOS application designed as a color picker tool that operates directly from your menu bar. It enables users to select colors from any part of their screen instantly and provides comprehensive color management features for design workflows.

The application includes a global hotkey (⌘⇧P) that works in any app or window to pick colors. It automatically saves every color picked into a history that can be searched and accessed anytime. Colors can be copied in multiple formats including HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSLA with a single click. Pro features include generating color harmonies (complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, monochromatic, and tetradic), WCAG contrast checking for accessibility compliance, and organizing colors into palettes with custom tags.

Pipeta works through a simple interface accessible from the macOS menu bar, allowing quick color picking without interrupting workflow. The color harmony feature automatically generates related colors based on color wheel principles, while the contrast checker provides instant AA and AAA compliance ratings.

The tool helps designers and developers efficiently manage colors, ensure accessibility standards, and create harmonious color schemes for their projects. It eliminates the need for multiple tools by combining picking, organization, and accessibility checking in one application.

Pipeta is built specifically for macOS users who work with colors, particularly designers and developers. It requires macOS 15+ and operates as an offline-first application with no subscription model.
