Five screen tools. One shortcut each.

Graphkit Desktop sits quietly on your PC and jumps in when you need it — in Figma, Photoshop, the browser or any other app.

Alt + C

Color Picker

Click any pixel on any monitor — HEX is copied to your clipboard instantly, with RGB and HSL one click away. Arrow keys nudge 1 px for precision. Recent colors and named palettes (export to JSON or CSS variables) are saved for you.

Alt + M

Magnifier

Live pixel view around your cursor at 2× to 16× zoom, with optional pixel grid, crosshair, X/Y position and the HEX/RGB value of the center pixel.

Alt + R

Screen Ruler

Drag a rectangle over anything — across all monitors — and read its exact width, height and X/Y position in screen pixels. Resize with handles, nudge with arrow keys, copy with Enter.

Alt + S

Screenshot

Capture a selected area, the active window, the current monitor or all screens. Preview it, copy it to the clipboard or save it as PNG.

Alt + T

OCR Text Capture

Select any part of the screen and turn the text in it into copyable text. Runs fully offline with built-in English and Serbian (Cyrillic & Latin) language models.

FAQ

Questions & answers

Is Graphkit Desktop really free?

Yes. Graphkit Desktop is completely free — no trial, no account and no credit card. The online graphkit.io tools it links to (Vectorize, Upscale, Background Remover) follow the regular graphkit.io pricing.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Graphkit Desktop is a portable app. Download the ZIP, extract the whole folder anywhere (for example Documents or Desktop) and run GraphkitDesktop.exe. The .NET runtime and OCR language models are already included, so there is nothing else to install.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Windows 10 version 1809 or newer and Windows 11, on 64-bit (x64) PCs.

Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”. Is that normal?

Yes. Graphkit Desktop is a new app and is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show this warning the first time you run it. Click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. Only download Graphkit Desktop from graphkit.io.

Does Graphkit Desktop send my data anywhere?

No. The app has no account, no telemetry and no analytics. Screenshots, colors and OCR text are processed locally and never uploaded. The only time it goes online is when you click one of the graphkit.io tools, which opens the website in your browser.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

Alt + G shows or hides the toolbox, Alt + C opens the Color Picker, Alt + M the Magnifier, Alt + R the Screen Ruler, Alt + S Screenshot and Alt + T OCR Text Capture. They work from any app while Graphkit Desktop is running in the tray.

How do I start it with Windows — or remove it?

Turn on “Open on Startup” in Settings or the tray menu if you want it to launch when you sign in (it is off by default). To remove the app, choose Exit from the tray menu and delete its folder. Your settings, colors and palettes live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GraphkitDesktop — delete that folder too for a clean removal.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet — Graphkit Desktop is Windows-only for now. All graphkit.io web tools work in any browser on Mac.
