Smart Formats automatically apply the correct color format based on where you’re pasting.

​
How It Works

Assign specific formats to your favorite apps, and Sip will remember and apply them automatically when pasting. For example:
  • Pasting into Xcode? Sip uses Swift UIColor RGB.
  • Pasting into VS Code? Sip switches to CSS Hex.

​
Setting Up Smart Formats

  1. Go to Preferences > Smart Formats.
  2. Enable Use Smart Formats.
  3. Click the + button to add an app (e.g., Xcode, VS Code, Sketch).
  4. Select the desired format for each app.
Sip will automatically apply the correct format when you pick or paste a color based on the app you’re working in. smart-formats
