For designers

Your color palette, asset URLs, and hand-off notes — always at hand

Designers live in a tab-cyclone of Figma, Notion, Slack, Linear, and a browser full of inspiration. The system clipboard remembers exactly one of the dozens of things you copy in an hour. SnipTray remembers all of them, renders the colors as live swatches, and shares your project pinboard with the whole product team.

Section 1

See colors as colors, not as text

Copy `#1B6EF3`, `rgb(27, 110, 243)`, `hsl(216, 89%, 53%)`, or `oklch(60% 0.20 250)` and SnipTray renders a real swatch in the tray. Pin the brand palette to a pinboard and every color is one keystroke away — `⌘⇧1` for primary, `⌘⇧2` for accent, and so on. No more rummaging through Figma to find the exact shade you used last Tuesday.

Section 2

A pinboard per project, shared with the team

Create a pinboard for each active project — Figma file URL, Notion brief, Linear ticket, asset CDN base path, copy variants for A/B tests. Share it with the product manager, the engineers building it, and the writer doing the microcopy. Anyone with Editor access can add new snippets. Updates appear in everyone's tray instantly via iCloud.

Section 3

Markdown and rich text that survives

SnipTray preserves Markdown, rich-text formatting, and HTML attributes when you copy from Notion or Figma. Paste into Slack, an email, or another design tool and the formatting stays. For when you want plain text, hit `⌥` while pasting and SnipTray strips formatting on the way out.

Section 4

Hand-off without ten Slack messages

When it is time to ship, your engineer does not need a Slack thread of "what was that asset URL again?" — they have the project pinboard in their own SnipTray. Hex codes are still swatches; component IDs are still copyable; the Figma spec link is right at the top. Hand-off becomes a Slack message that just says "see the pinboard".

The outcome

No more rummaging through Figma to find the exact shade of #1B6EF3 you used last Tuesday.

  • Live color swatches for hex, RGB, HSL, OKLCH
  • Image, SVG, and asset URL previews
  • Pinboards per project, shared with the team
  • Markdown formatting preserved on copy and paste

Designers FAQ

Common questions

Does SnipTray show color swatches for hex codes?
Yes. SnipTray detects hex, RGB, HSL, and OKLCH color values in your clipboard history and renders them as live swatches in the tray. You can also pin a color to give it a number shortcut (⌘⇧1–⌘⇧9) so reaching for your brand primary is instant.
Can designers share a clipboard with engineers via SnipTray?
Yes. Create a pinboard for the project, click Share, and invite teammates by iCloud or email. Assign roles: engineers get Editor, designers get Admin, stakeholders get Viewer. Asset URLs, component IDs, hex codes, and copy variants are all in one place — no more "send me that link again" Slack threads.
Does SnipTray preserve Markdown and rich text formatting?
Yes. SnipTray preserves Markdown, rich text, and HTML attributes by default when you copy from apps like Notion, Figma, Bear, or Slack. Hold ⌥ while pasting to strip formatting and paste as plain text — handy when you are pasting into a code editor or terminal.
