PikoPixel is a free, open-source pixel-art editor for Mac.

It also runs on Linux & BSD, though those platforms currently require building PikoPixel from source (no binary downloads available yet).

A new version, 1.0 BETA8, is now available, with added features:
- Color ramp mode for the Line Tool (press Ctrl+Option to draw a gradient line)
- Support for linear (gamma-correct) color blending*

Video demo of the new features:
