Hello, I am an iOS application engineer in Japan. Everyday I work with various people such as designers and planners. One of the many instructions by the designer's designation is color designation. For example, the theme color of this application is "#9CAEB7". This color is the same as the line color of Japanese subway, "Hibiya line". Just by looking at this, I do not know what color it is. And in implementing it, our iOS application engineers have to generate program code for Objective-C and Swift. So I made this App. You can see what color it is in full screen display. At the same time, you are able to generate program code, so you just send it to Mac with any sharing method you like. This app is written in modern Swift 5 produced by Apple. As a latest technology, I implemented Peek & Pop of 3D Touch. Please try pressing the color part after conversion. Full screen display is possible as it is. I think that there are users who use iPhone which is not compatible with 3D Touch so I made it possible to tap. There is still room for additional functions. I plan to find the gap time of other projects and add useful functions. If you find a bug or you would like to suggest adding functionality, please send feedback from the Settings Tab. From iOS 13, you can use this app with dark mode! Please enjoy! Thank you very much for your downloading at the end.

Meet Flash Beacon โ€” a simple utility for finding someone more easily in crowded places. Flash Beacon helps two users connect with a session code, then use visual signals, camera HUD guidance, and map support to spot each other more easily at festivals, concerts, clubs, outdoor events, and other crowded places. How it works: 1. Choose a color and icon 2. The host creates a session and shares the 6-digit code 3. The guest joins with the code 4. Use HUD Beacon and Map to help find the paired user 5. Use Flash Beacon as a bright visual signal when you are close Key features: Session code pairing: connect two users without an account HUD Beacon: camera HUD guidance for finding your paired user Map support: view paired-user location guidance Flash Beacon: use your screen as a bright visual beacon Color and icon customization: make yourself easier to recognize Simple, fast UI: built for quick use when you are on the move In-app purchases: Flash Beacon includes optional one-time icon pack purchases and an optional Beacon Pro monthly subscription. Beacon Pro lets the host create sessions, use HUD Beacon, use Map support, and access all icon packs while active. Only the host needs Beacon Pro to create a session. The guest can join with the session code. Important: GPS and direction guidance are approximate, especially indoors, in dense crowds, or at very close range. Results may vary depending on device sensors and location accuracy. Powered by Lighthouse Studios.
