Paint Buddy
Color history & favorites
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Capture clipboard colors, pin Favorites, and keep dual floating palettes on top — hex, RGB, channels & suggestions in the menu bar.
Paint Buddy watches your clipboard for colors — hex, rgb, rgba, named CSS colors, and simple tuples — and keeps a tidy History in the menu bar.
Open the main window to browse History or Favorites, copy Hex / RGB / RGBA or individual R, G, B, A channels, and explore suggested darker, lighter, and harmony colors. Pick from the screen with a one-shot eyedropper (no Screen Recording).
Keep Floating History and Floating Favorites always on top while you design or code. Switch grid, list, or detailed layouts, resize swatches, and copy preferred formats — including hex without the #.
Pause monitoring when you need privacy. Launch at login if you like. Rate the app from Settings when it helps your workflow. Colors stay on your Mac.
