Peeler is a lightweight open-source macOS app for color picking and palette extraction.
Since Peeler is not notarized, macOS may block it on first launch. To fix this, run:
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Peeler.appExtract colors
Capture any region on screen and extract dominant colors.
Smart balancing
Peeler automatically creates a balanced, harmonious palette.
One-click export
Export to CSS, Tailwind, SwiftUI, or your favorite format.
Save & reuse
Keep palettes for later comparison or reference.
Recent picks
Re-copy the last colors you captured without sampling again.
Format recall
Jump back into HEX, RGB, OKLCH, SwiftUI, or whatever you used last.
Visual trace
Keep a running trail of the shades you tested while iterating.
Fast comparison
Check nearby picks side by side before committing to a final tone.
Named collections
Save grouped colors as reusable palettes instead of loose one-off picks.
Project sets
Separate client work, explorations, and brand systems cleanly.
Export-ready groups
Keep palettes ready for CSS variables, Tailwind tokens, or design handoff.
Reliable reuse
Come back to proven color sets without rebuilding them from scratch.
