# Smart Formats

**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.

* Select your desired format for each app using the dropdown menu.
* Click the trash icon to remove an app from the list.
