Curated Mac design tools for UI/UX designers, illustrators, and visual creators. From pixel-perfect screenshot measurement to palette generators and vector canvas tools, these utilities enhance your creative precision.
Explore lightweight design companions that integrate into your menu bar or hotkey flow, enabling rapid asset extraction, OCR text grabbing, and design feedback.

## What to look for
- Sub-Pixel & Retina Accuracy: Verify that screenshot and measurement tools support 2x Retina display rendering and sub-pixel measurement.
- Instant Annotation: Look for screenshot tools that let you blur sensitive info, draw clean numbered steps, and copy to clipboard instantly.
- Built-in OCR: Built-in text recognition in screenshot utilities saves hours of manual transcription from static mockups.
- Export Flexibility: Support for SVG, WebP, PNG, and transparent background formats is crucial for web and mobile design.
