Future Plans

In addition to the features I’m working on now, I’m also exploring several other ideas for PixlPal’s future development, including:

Windows version: PixlPal is currently only available for macOS, but I’m working on a Windows version to make it accessible to even more users.

Color history: With the upcoming color history feature, PixlPal will allow you to easily access previously selected colors, so you can quickly reuse colors without having to select them again.

Screen Measurement Mode: PixlPal’s upcoming screen measurement mode will allow you to measure distances in pixels on your screen with precision, whether you’re measuring images, divs, buttons or any other element. This will make it easier for designers and developers to ensure their designs are pixel-perfect, and will save them time by eliminating the need to use external screen measurement tools.

Support for additional color formats: In the future, I’m planning to add support for additional color formats, such as CMYK and Pantone, to make PixlPal even more versatile and useful for designers, developers, and other professionals who work with colors.
