This app powers all the colours in my apps (Assets Catalog) and my website (CSS/shadows/variables). It's so fast, and great. Also, Marc will add whatever you ask him to if you ask nicely.

Did you know iStat Menus can show alerts for a wide range of stats-related things? Do you want to know when any disk gets below 20GB of free space? You can do that. Do you want to know when your public IP address changes? You can do that, too.

Pinwheel was mentioned in iOS Dev Weekly! Thanks, @daveverwer.com. If you’re even vaguely interested in developing for Apple’s platforms, iOS Dev Weekly is a great read. Highly recommended. iosdevweekly.com

Quote from Dave at iOS Dev Weekly: I meant to link to this new tool from Bjango last year, but I wanted to have a proper go with it first. I managed to spend some time with it and I can say that what might at first glance seem like a straightforward colour management tool is much more than that, especially for developers. Not only can you store versions of your semantically named colours for light/dark and low/high contrast. You can also export Swift code direct from the app with enough customisability that you’ll actually use it. I can’t recommend this enough.

For full disclosure, I received a free licence for review purposes.
