Find and jump to any tool from anywhere
0.11.0 · 2026-05-26 · minor
Navigation got a real home. Every page now has a persistent app switcher (jump straight to Link, QR, Color, or Image — or back to the Apps home — from wherever you are), the Apps home lists every app AND its sub-tools, and search now finds those sub-tools too (try 'palette', 'generate', or 'average'). The sub-tool pages are also in the sitemap so search engines can find them.

Jump to any tool from any pageA persistent app switcher now sits on every page — go straight to Link, QR, Color, or Image, or back to the Apps home, without hunting for a link. No more dead-ends.
The Apps home lists every tool + its sub-toolsThe home page now shows each app with its sub-pages (color theory, palette analysis, generate a color, the image gallery/describe/average tools) — and search matches them, so typing 'palette' or 'generate' takes you there.
Favorites — pin the colors, links & QR codes you care about
0.5.0 · 2026-05-25 · minor

Favorite a colorStar any color from its page to pin it. Your favorite colors appear on the Color tool and on your account page — open one to jump straight back to its full dossier.
Pin the links you use mostFavorite a short link from your manage list so it's easy to find again, and see all your pinned links on your account page. A favorite still shows with a clear label even if the original link is later removed.
Pin your QR codesFavorite a QR code the same way — pinned codes are gathered on your account page alongside your other favorites, grouped by type.
