About:
xScope is a comprehensive suite of design tools for graphics professionals and web developers. It provides precise on-screen measurement, alignment guides, color sampling, and layout inspection capabilities. The tool helps bridge the gap between design mockups and implementation by ensuring pixel-perfect accuracy.

Key Features:

Pixel-perfect on-screen measurement and rulers
Smart guides and alignment tools
Color sampling and magnification
Layout inspection and grid overlays
Crosshair and coordinate tracking

Use Cases:

Measuring distances and dimensions in design mockups
Verifying pixel-perfect alignment of UI elements
Extracting color values from screen content
Inspecting spacing and layout consistency

Alternatives:

Digital Color Meter – Built-in macOS tool for color sampling only, lacks comprehensive design measurement features
PixelSnap – Measurement tool focused on smart selection, fewer inspection features than xScope
