What's new: everyday color tools and a saved library
2 min read
Since Satura launched we've added a whole batch of features - all still free, all still running on your device with no account and no connection required. Here's a tour of what's new.
A correction filter, not just simulation
The new filter goes beyond showing how color vision deficiency looks - it recolors an image or live camera view (a technique called daltonization) so confusable colors separate out and become easier to tell apart. Pick protanopia, deuteranopia or tritanopia and dial in the strength. It's free for everyone.
Everyday color tools
A new Tools section collects quick helpers: match-or-clash compares two colors and - crucially - checks whether someone with color vision deficiency could still tell them apart; a WCAG contrast checker rates text and UI for AA/AAA; an eyedropper reads any pixel from a photo; and "show a friend what I see" puts a normal and a CVD view side by side, with a share button so you can send it to someone. There's also palette-from-image, which pulls the dominant colors out of any photo.
Save and reuse your colors
You can now save colors to a personal library with your own names and notes, straight from Identify, the eyedropper or a palette - and search, edit and export them later as CSS variables, JSON or a PNG swatch sheet. Everything lives in your browser, offline.
A smarter Identify
Identify can now name a color three ways - from the camera, an uploaded image, or a value you type in. A new lighting-fix toggle white-balances the frame so colors read truer under tinted indoor light, and Identify will tell you when a color matches one you've already saved.
What's next
A one-time Pro unlock (an unlimited library, exports and full palettes) and optional cross-device sync are coming next. The core stays free, offline and private - always. Have feedback or a feature request? Email us at info@satura.app.
