Launch screenshots from Product Hunt, Mar 2022

The product is a desktop design utility that measures distance, dimension and position, picks colors, checks contrast, and aligns on-screen elements anywhere on the screen. It solves the problem of inspecting spacing, sizing, alignment and color values outside of a single design tool or browser. It is for individual designers and developers working on screen-based design and implementation. It is delivered as a desktop application for macOS and Windows that runs inside any app with menubar access and keyboard shortcuts.
