v1.8.3

The latest release

Version 1.8.3 is the most recent build of QuickLens. It keeps the same core promise as earlier releases: seven precision tools that can each be used on their own or combined for greater accuracy, tuned for pixel-level inspection of on-screen work.

Tool set at a glance

Lens, Ruler, Frame, Guide, Tape, Monocle, and Crosshair remain the seven tools in the suite, each crafted for a specific on-screen task.

Lens

Zoom an area from 1X up to 64X, sample colors in Hex, RGB, HSL, and YCbCr formats, and simulate vision defects.

Ruler and Frame

Measure verticals and horizontals in points, inches, centimeters, millimeters, and picas, or overlay grids with custom rows and columns.

System requirements

QuickLens 1.8.3 runs on OSX Yosemite (10.10) and later, with global hotkeys, switchable themes, app awareness, and a keyboard shortcuts viewer.
