xScope For Mac

While developing layouts and other types of graphic projects, having access to powerful measurement tools can help you perform in a more efficient and productive manner. xScope is a macOS application that enables you to measure elements that are visible on your screen.

XScope is able to connect with the xScope Mirror application developed for iOS, and display certain graphic elements on your iPhone or iPad. This is extremely useful when testing designs created for iOS applications.

Upon launch, xScope places a small menu in your status bar, and a minimalist toolbar on your screen. Both elements provide quick access to the basic xScope tools: mirror, text, dimensions, rulers, overlay, screens, loupe, guides, frames, or crosshair.

Most xScope functions come with their own toolbars and panels that can be easily activated or deactivated. For your convenience, xScope also offers you the possibility to define your own hotkey for each function.

Right off the bat, you can use xScope to see the dimension details of an object, you can use rulers to perform precise pixel measurements, or you can set up vertical and horizontal guidelines. The loupe tool allows you to closely inspect your designs.

Noteworthy is the Overlay tool that can attach to your default web browser window and help you develop web projects with a lot more precision. What’s more, the crosshair tool allows you to view the location details for specific points on the screen.

xScope provides easily accessible tools for measuring graphic elements, but also includes guidelines that can help you during the designing process. Moreover, you can use the xScope Mirror iOS application to send images to your iPhone or iPad, and test designs for iOS apps in real time.
