To save gradients you love on Gradiently, tap the heart on any Mark. It lands in your Favourites, a private list only you can see, where each one is marked as open to claim, yours or claimed by someone else. Gradiently can also tell you when a favourite is getting popular or someone claims it first, so a look you are still deciding on doesn’t quietly disappear.
How to save a gradient to your favourites
A Mark is more than a flat gradient: it is a living recipe of colours, materials, light, grain, motion and a type voice that renders behind everything you design. Saving one keeps the whole recipe, not a screenshot. What a Mark is explains the parts.

Because every Mark has exactly one owner at a time, a saved Mark can change status while it sits in your list. The page sorts that out for you with four views.

You can claim straight from the list. Claiming makes you the Mark’s only owner, puts your name on its public record and gives you a numbered certificate; how to find and claim a Mark covers the details.
Favourite or claim: which to do
Favourite
- Free, and private to you
- Keeps a Mark on your shortlist
- Anyone else can still claim it
- You can design with it while it is unclaimed
- Exporting needs the Mark to be yours
Claim
- A one-time payment per Mark
- First year of keeping included, then free with Pro
- Makes you its only owner, on the public record
- Nobody else can claim it while you hold it
- Comes with a numbered certificate
- Lets you export designs made with it
A sensible routine is to favourite freely while you look, then test the two or three strongest on your real words in the Studio. Anyone can design with any Mark nobody has claimed, so you can try a portrait post, a story and a wide banner before deciding. How to choose a background for your brand gives a short test to run.
One favourite tried on a real post before claiming.
The same words on a second favourite. Comparing on your own copy beats comparing swatches.
Keep the shortlist short. Ten favourites you would genuinely use are more helpful than eighty you liked for a second, because the point of the list is to make a decision easier. Once a month, open All, remove anything you would no longer pick, and look at what is left: the Marks that survive usually share a ground, a temperature or a material, and that pattern tells you a lot about the look your brand wants.
News about Marks you saved
Favourites are also how Gradiently knows which Marks matter to you. You choose which of these reach you, and each can be switched off in your notification settings.
- A favourite is getting popular: once per Mark, when it is still open and many people are favouriting it.
- A favourite is claimed: when someone else claims a Mark you hearted.
- A favourite is listed: when its owner puts it on the Market at a price they set.
- Favourite milestones: if you own Marks, news when people favourite them.
Favourite counts work the other way too. The Market’s Most loved view shows the most favourited Marks first, which makes it a good place to start if you want looks other people keep coming back to. A Mark’s page shows how many people have favourited it.
Saving plain CSS gradients
If what you need is a flat CSS gradient for a website, a favourite is the wrong tool; you want the code. Every gradient in the Field Guide is copyable. Here are six worth keeping in a snippets file, written to look like their names.
