Love this, but for some reason when I go to select a color in an app window, it only displays and pulls colors from my desktop background. I can't get it to actually find colors from the current window I'm in. Any idea why?
@sethbwilliams@clark_dinnison@anewspace good call, thanks. The app should direct you to security settings when you pick a color for the first time — but can be updated in Security & Privacy settings under Screen Recording permissions
LOVE THE SIMPLICITY. One request: Let me set a keyboard shortcut to activate and this will be the absolute perfect color picker. I'd be happy to send $$$ your way to get it done! 😉
✨Why I built Roy, the world's smallest color picker (claim still being verified):
• I thought existing color picker tools were too feature-heavy (palettes, color profiles, etc). I just wanted to quickly snag a HEX value and paste it into Figma
• I didn't want to open a new app every time I needed to pick a color. A simple, "always-on" menu bar app was perfect
• I wanted to learn Swift and build a macOS app
• I needed an excuse to build a brand around the name Roy
It was a fun lil project to build. Let me know if you find it useful.
Give it a whirl — it's free

Faster than chrome extensions, better than Mac's digital color meter, needed something just like this!
