Screen Loupe is a native macOS pixel-accurate magnifier designed for designers and developers, offering a capture area over the screen and a real-time viewer with features like color metering, pixel grid, rulers, reference layers, and accessibility simulations. Built with Swift, AppKit, ScreenCaptureKit, Metal, and VisionKit without third-party dependencies, it combines many useful inspection tools into one polished app. While not radically novel, it provides a well-executed combination of features that fills a niche for pixel-perfect design work.

Target audience: designers, frontend developers, macOS power users
