What Apps Does ModuleArt Offer and What Does Each One Do?

Updated

ModuleArt publishes four small desktop utilities, split evenly between macOS and Windows. Each one targets a single, narrow job: picking colors, viewing images, or opening files with a chosen app. If you want a lightweight tool that does one thing without a large install or a subscription, these are the four options currently listed on the ModuleArt site.

The four apps at a glance

App Platform What it does
PlainColor Mac Lightweight, versatile, cross-platform color picker
Quick Picture Viewer Windows Lightweight, versatile desktop image viewer
SzContext Mac Open files or folders using your favorite app from the Finder context menu
Quick Color Picker Windows Lightweight desktop color picker and color editor utility

PlainColor for Mac

PlainColor is a color picker for macOS. The site describes it as lightweight, versatile, and cross-platform, so the core task is grabbing a color value and reusing it elsewhere in your work.

Choose it if you need a dedicated picker on a Mac and prefer a small utility over a full design suite. The "cross-platform" label in the description suggests the picker is not tied to Apple-only color formats, but the site does not list supported export formats, so verify that before relying on it for a specific workflow.

Quick Picture Viewer for Win

Quick Picture Viewer is a desktop image viewer for Windows. It is positioned as lightweight and versatile — the emphasis is on opening and viewing images quickly rather than editing them.

Choose it if your main need is a fast, simple way to open image files on Windows without a heavier photo manager. The site does not list supported file formats or editing features, so treat it as a viewer first.

SzContext for Mac

SzContext adds a Finder context menu entry that lets you open a file or folder with an app of your choice. Instead of dragging a file into an application or changing your system default, you right-click in Finder and pick the target app.

This is useful when you regularly open the same file type in more than one program — for example, sending a text file to a code editor instead of the default text app, or opening a folder in a terminal. Choose it if you want per-action control over which app handles a file, rather than changing defaults globally.

Quick Color Picker for Win

Quick Color Picker is a Windows color picker and color editor. It combines two jobs: sampling a color from the screen and adjusting color values.

Choose it if you work on Windows and need both picking and light color editing in one small tool. The site does not specify the color models or output formats it supports, so check those details if you need a particular format such as hex or RGB.

How to decide between them

The choice is mostly about platform and task, not features:

  • On a Mac and working with color → PlainColor
  • On a Mac and want to control which app opens a file → SzContext
  • On Windows and viewing images → Quick Picture Viewer
  • On Windows and working with color → Quick Color Picker

Two of the four apps are color tools, but they are split by platform, so you will not normally be choosing between PlainColor and Quick Color Picker — only one runs on your operating system.

What the site does not cover

The ModuleArt page lists each app with a one-line description and nothing more. It does not state pricing, download links, system requirements, or supported file and color formats. If any of those matter for your decision, check the individual app pages rather than assuming from the summaries above.
