# Getting Started

Sip is a design tool that allows you to collect, organize, and edit colors. It also gives you the ability to share colors with others and link them across other tools in your workflow.

Sip is designed to be fast and unobtrusive—there when you need it and gone when you don’t.

Created by [Olá Brothers](https://theolabrothers.com), it’s available for macOS.

## Minimum Requirements

Sip requires macOS **Sonoma** or newer.

## Download Sip

Ready to try Sip? Download the free trial [here](https://sipapp.io/downloading) and test it for 15 days. Once your free trial period ends, you’ll be prompted to purchase a license.

## Purchasing Sip

If Sip is the right tool for you, you can purchase it directly from our [store](https://sipapp.io/pricing).

Each license includes **one year of updates** and is priced **per device**. You only pay for what you actually use.

The price per device decreases based on the total number of devices you license.

### License Price per Year

| **Price**   | \$29.99 | \$26.99 | \$23.99 | \$20.99 | \$17.99 |

<Tip>
  <b>Example:</b> Purchasing 2 seats would cost `2 × $26.99 = $53.98`.
</Tip>

You can continue using Sip after your year of updates ends.

If you'd like to keep receiving updates, you can extend your license for another year at 70% of the original price.
