Pixel art drawing programs like LibreSprite/Asesprite and Piskel display color counts on Linux and Windows (pre-11, when functionality wasn’t completely unpredictable) but where there’s not a program like these within reach, this color counter fills the gap.

That’s why an AppImage for Android would be much appreciated. Eyeballed counts are sometimes off a color or few. I would love a tool that’s this easy to double-check.

The web version runs for me only on Chrome derivatives, and then it still needs a couple of tries (the tool soft crashes after image selection) and repeated phone rotations (because the orientation is forced to landscape then to portrait views).

What’s missing on this page is a privacy statement. I’m uncomfortable uploading artwork here without knowing who can (supposedly) see images or directories and for how long.

Hello, I liked the idea of the program, but I want a Linux version AppImage
