App icons for iStat Menus, Pinwheel, and Skala.
We’ve been busy! Over the last couple of weeks, we released Pinwheel 1.7 and 1.7.1, fixing some macOS 26 related bugs, and adding a new Icon Composer app icon. We’ve also been working hard on the next update for iStat Menus.

Pinwheel 1.6.1 is out! It fixes some bugs and adds the ability to copy colours in any format and colour space. If you’d like to copy colours in the format that matches their properties, just use “copy”. bjango.com/mac/pinwheel/
Also, Skala development is going great. Thanks for asking! bjango.com/mac/skala/

Pinwheel 1.6 is out! Colour format is now remembered per-colour, which means you can use hex values for sRGB colours and oklch() for Display P3, if you want. bjango.com/mac/pinwheel/
I hope you like Pinwheel! We just released an update today that remembers the colour format on a per-colour basis. That means you sRGB colours can be displayed, edited, and copied as hex, and your Display P3 colours can be oklch() or some other format, if you want. We’re here if you have questions!
Thanks for recommending Pinwheel! ❤️
Pinwheel 1.5.5 is out with a couple of small, but important bug fixes. 🎉 bjango.com/mac/pinwheel...

Hi! While Mac model is that for?
We’re sorry that issue exists in the first place, but glad the article helped!
