Your download is starting

Pocket CVI is on its way to your Downloads folder. If nothing happens, start it manually.

✓ Signed & notarized by Apple✓ Universal binary✓ No account needed

Double-click PocketCVI.dmg in your Downloads folder. A window opens with the app and a shortcut to Applications.

Drop Pocket CVI onto the Applications folder in that window. You can then eject the disk image and delete the .dmg.

Open it from Applications, then press ⌃⌘⇧P and click any pixel on screen. The color is yours — and on your clipboard.

Good to know

It opens without warnings. Pocket CVI is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS will not ask you to bypass anything.
Screen Recording permission is requested the first time you pick a color. macOS requires it for any app that reads pixels from the screen — Pocket CVI uses it for nothing else.
macOS 26 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
