What is PickHex?

🚀 One-Click Instant Eyedropper: Windows: Left-click the PickHex icon in your System Tray (Hidden Icons) to immediately launch the live screen magnifier. macOS: Click the PickHex icon in the top Menu Bar and select "Pick Color from Screen". 🔍 Interactive Magnifier Controls (Zero-UI): Mouse Scroll Wheel: Dynamically adjust the magnifier zoom level (3x to 9x) in real time. Arrow Keys (↑ ↓ ← →): Nudge the cursor by 1 exact pixel to effortlessly capture thin borders and text. Tab Key: Cycle through copy formats (HEX → HEX_RAW → RGB → HSL → CSS → TAILWIND) live inside the magnifier HUD. 🎨 Instant Shades, Tints & Harmonies: Hover over any color under Recent Colors in the right-click menu to instantly copy 3 Lighter Tints (+20%, +40%, +60%), 3 Darker Shades (-20%, -40%, -60%), or its Complementary Color without opening a single window. 📋 6 Developer Copy Formats: HEX (#FF5733) HEX Raw (FF5733) RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)) HSL (hsl(11, 100%, 60%)) CSS (color: #FF5733;) Tailwind (bg-[#FF5733]) 🔔 Crisp On-Screen Toast Notification: Displays a brief, non-intrusive pill notification with a live color swatch confirming the copied code. 🔄 Built-in Self-Updater: Click "Check for Updates" in the tray menu to automatically download and install new releases in-place—no manual uninstall or reinstall needed. 🌍 Multi-Language Support (English & Turkish): Choose your preferred language on first launch or switch anytime from the tray menu. ⚡ Run on System Startup: Optional one-click toggle to launch automatically when you log in.
