Pixel-accurate sampling
A magnified loupe follows the cursor so you pick the exact pixel you meant — not the one next to it.
One click on any pixel on your screen. The color is on your clipboard before you let go of the mouse.
Pixel Drop lives in the menu bar and nowhere else. No window to manage, no document to save, no account to make. Press ⌘/ from anywhere and sample.

Choose the format you work in. The sampled color is converted locally and copied straight to the clipboard.
Local color history
Your recent picks stay in the menu. Click one to copy it again, or clear the whole list in a click.
Global shortcut
Press ⌘/ in any app to start picking without reaching for the menu bar.
Launch at login
One toggle. Pixel Drop is in the menu bar when you sit down, and it stays out of the Dock.
Nothing leaves your Mac
No accounts, no analytics, no network calls, no third-party SDKs. Sampling and conversion happen on device.
