Can I use any selector?

Yes, change the selector field from :root to any class or element selector.

Do variable names need the -- prefix?

Yes, CSS custom properties always start with two dashes.

Can I add as many tokens as I like?

Yes, use Add token to append new variables.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
