Omoro compared

Omoro next to the tools you already use

Milanote, Are.na, Cosmos and Coolors are where designers save, arrange and generate, and Figma is where they build. Omoro is a visual research system: 224 named design styles, each taken apart into its palette, typefaces, materials, history and where it shows up in real work. These pages say what each tool is for, where it stops, and where Omoro fits beside it.

What Omoro does that none of them do

Each of the collecting tools holds references, and Figma builds from them. Omoro documents what the references are: a style has a name, a palette with hex codes, the typefaces it was set in, the materials it is built from, the decade it started in and the styles it came from. Every entry in the library is written to the same standard, so a look you can only point at becomes one you can name, source and hand to a client.

That is the whole difference, and it is why Omoro sits beside these tools rather than in place of them. Save in Cosmos, arrange in Milanote, generate in Coolors, wander in Are.na, build in Figma. Look it up in Omoro first.
