How it works

Three steps to better AI output.

Capture what you love, let AI understand it, and sync it to your tools.

01
Capture
Hit Cmd+Shift+T to screenshot any UI that catches your eye. Select a region, name it, and categorize it.
02
Extract
GPT Vision analyzes your screenshot and pulls out design tokens: colors, border radius, shadows, padding, typography, and spacing.
03
Sync
Your taste profile auto-exports to AI assistants (Cursor, Claude, Codex) so they match your aesthetic on every project.

Sample Library

All your inspiration, organized.

Browse, search, and manage every screenshot you've captured. Categorized, tagged, and always at your fingertips.

The output

A skill your AI actually reads.

Taste generates a skill file that lives alongside your projects. Here's what it looks like in Codex.

Design Taste

Your personal design taste profile

Example prompt

Use $taste-design-library to guide design decisions based on my saved visual preferences.

How to use this file: The tokens below are observations about UI the user admires. They are NOT a spec to implement. Never copy hex codes, spacing values, or font sizes into a project. Instead, read the Taste Profile for qualitative guidance, and glance at the reference screenshots to calibrate your instincts.

Taste Profile

This person gravitates toward a cool and muted color palette, favoring subtle contrasts that create a calm and sophisticated feel. Their typography choices reflect a preference for clean, spacious layouts that balance clarity and modernity without being overly heavy. They appreciate generous spacing, resulting in airy compositions that invite interaction while maintaining a sense of order. The shape language leans towards rounded edges and softer forms, enhancing the approachable nature of their designs. A minimal use of shadows suggests an emphasis on flatness, contributing to an overall vibe of understated elegance and functionality.
