Red Stripe

Red Stripe is a handy macOS app made for folks who have trouble seeing red. It's one of the most common types of color blindness, especially with red-green vision deficiency, which can show up in different ways.

What is Red Stripe?

This minimalist app features a clear panel that you can place anywhere on your desktop. It’s cool because it’s transparent, letting you interact with your apps underneath it without any fuss.

How Does It Work?

Now, a little heads-up: when you use the Red Stripe layer, things might feel a bit slower when you're trying to click around. But don't worry! You can easily resize the window to fit your needs; just keep in mind that full-screen mode isn't an option.

Detecting Colors

The neat part about Red Stripe is how it helps you see colors you can't normally distinguish. When it spots red on your screen, it highlights it with a fun striped pattern. This way, even if you can't see the red itself, you'll know it's there!

Identifying Shades

The app does more than just highlight red. It also shows other colors that have red in them, like purple and orange. You can tell different shades apart by looking at how dark or light the stripes are.

User-Friendly Design

Red Stripe aims to be easy to use for anyone dealing with color blindness. It's all about making life simpler without wasting too much time or effort.

Lack of Personalization Options

However, there’s one thing that could be better: personalization options are pretty limited. It would be awesome if users could choose different stripe sizes or directions depending on what they want to identify—like telling apart shades of red from yellow.
