Sfumato: The Ultra-Fast CSS Generation Tool

Sfumato is a lean, modern, utility-based CSS framework with relative UI scaling and adaptive design built-in. Add few lines to your CSS file and Sfumato will watch your project as you work, keeping track of changes, and generate a custom, tiny CSS file based only on the utility classes you use. And Sfumato uses the same class naming convention as Tailwind CSS v4!

• The Sfumato CLI tool is written in cross-platform (multi-threaded) native code, not javascript, and is much faster than Tailwind
• Sfumato provides an optional scalable CSS system that makes all the viewport sizes between breakpoints scale like a PDF for a more controlled layout
• Dark theme mode that supports system theme matching, as well as classes that include an "auto" class to fall back to system matching
• Integrated form element styles (class compatible with Tailwind forms plugin)
• One install works for all your projects!
