## What is Huedrop?

Huedrop is the home for your colors. Catch one with your camera, keep it forever, share it as a beautiful card.

Everyone's seen a color they didn't want to lose: late-afternoon light on a brick wall, the exact green of a gum leaf, that perfect paint shade in a cafe. Huedrop catches it in seconds, gives it a friendly name, and keeps it in a library that's a joy to wander back through.

CATCH
• Point the camera and watch colors name themselves, live
• Pick colors from any photo with a zoomable loupe
• Pull a five-color palette out of a photo with one tap, or straight from the share sheet
• Honest accuracy: exposure and white-balance lock, lighting coaching, and a confidence score on every catch. We never pretend a phone camera is a lab instrument

KEEP
• A library that feels like yours: sort by recency or hue, search by name or code, organize with tags
• Group colors into jars: kitchen remodel, autumn walks, wedding ideas
• Keep your library in sync across your devices with iCloud
• Nothing is ever lost: undo, plus a 30-day Recently Deleted
• Color of the Day and streaks, for the collectors

CREATE
• Build harmonies from any color: complementary, analogous, triadic and more
• Check WCAG contrast for accessible color pairings
• Export colors and palettes as PNG, PDF, ASE or a hex list
• Keep a favorite palette on your Home Screen with widgets

SHARE
• Turn any catch into a beautiful card and post it anywhere
• Copy HEX, RGB, HSL or OKLCH with a tap

FOR EVERYONE
• Full VoiceOver support on every screen
• Color-blind-friendly descriptions ("warm red-orange") on every color
• Spoken color names, Dynamic Type, and a high-contrast mode

FAIR
• Free forever: catching, keeping, naming, palettes and your library
• No ads. No account. No tracking. Works completely offline
• Pro is a one-time purchase: unlimited jars and tags, every share-card template, export, harmonies and contrast, and iCloud sync
• Pro+ is an optional monthly subscription that adds on-device AI mood and color naming, plus subject-aware palettes

Your colors stay on your device. Photos are never uploaded, analytics are anonymous, and there's nothing to sign up for.

Catch a color. It takes about two seconds, and it's strangely lovely.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-04

Sharing palettes to Discover just got easier. Open any palette in your library and the share studio now has its own Share to Discover tile, right next to Share and Save.

IMPROVED
• Discover details put the like heart beside the title, just like the feed, so the hex codes get the room they deserve

FIXED
• Tap the heart on an open palette and it fills instantly, count and all. No more wondering if the like landed
• Liking a palette opened from a shared link now works, even before it appears in your feed

Huedrop is young, and every rating genuinely helps other color lovers find it. If it has earned a spot on your Home Screen, a quick review would mean the world.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-14

Meet Discover, a new tab full of color palettes shared by collectors everywhere. Browse what the world is catching, and share your own in a tap.

NEW
• Discover: a community feed of palettes and colors. Flick between Fresh and Popular, and tap any palette to see its exact hex codes
• Share to Discover: publish any color or palette from your library. Completely anonymous, always free, and you can unshare anytime
• Show some love: tap the heart on palettes that deserve it
• A kind community by design: report or block anything that doesn't belong

Your library stays private unless you choose to share. Even then, it's just the colors and a title. No name, no location, no photos.

Catch something beautiful today. The feed is waiting.
