Superposition
What it is
Superposition is a free desktop app and browser extension for extracting design tokens from websites and using them in code or design tools. It identifies tokens such as colors, typography, and spacing, then exports them to CSS, Scss, JavaScript, Figma, and Adobe XD. Sketch, Swift, and Android exports are described as forthcoming. Unused styling is filtered out, and a token can be copied from its group overview as a CSS value. Figma and Adobe XD plugins show tokens applicable to a selected object and apply a choice when clicked. Chrome and Firefox add-ons can open the current page in Superposition or send its link through a context menu. The app runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Windows and Mac update automatically; Linux users receive notices and install updates themselves. A planned design system generator is a paid extension with no listed price.
