Frax is powered by fractal geometry, the same principle that creates patterns of self-similarity in our natural world. From spiral galaxies to hurricanes, from tree limbs to branching blood vessels, the universe is filled with endless variation and staggering beauty. Frax visualizes this natural geometric code, so you can explore vast animating digital landscapes and make a masterpiece on your touchscreen. EXPLORE Zoom deep into your creations. Use multi-touch gestures to fly through and explore intricate shapes and patterns. Tilt-to-steer through animating digital worlds, as you challenge yourself to chart a course for a long and beautiful flight –all at a depth range of a trillion-to-one. DESIGN Unleash your inner artist with complex color gradients to smoothly tint and shade your fractal shapes, two light sources for glossy reflections, and novel textures. The combinations are endless: supersmooth or wildly chaotic, metallic sheen or pearly white, subtle shades, stark monochrome or screaming supergloss. Or upgrade to Pro to access almost 100 parameters and controls! SHARE Then share your creations with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and text. Or invite other users to step into your animating world by sharing a live preset link. You can render high-quality images to your photo library or create ultra-high quality 200 Megapixel renders with an IAP. And for the first time, you can now record VIDEO of your Frax animations directly within the app! (Pro IAP required.) Our users have put their designs on canvas, posters, scarves, T-shirts and textiles. The creative possibilities are endless! What will Frax inspire in you? We hope you enjoy Frax!

An open eyed mathematical meditation. How long can you handle staring at infinity? ### 4/5 — Disable gyroscope? *2026-07-16, version 2.1.0* Hi, as a big fan of bryce, KPT, etc, back in the day, I’m inclined to love this. But I can’t show anyone else what I’m doing with it because the tilt controls go crazy (and no, pausing is not a solution). Is there really no way to disable the gyroscope feature? I get the idea, but it has to be optional! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-11, version 2.0.8* Mind blowing…. No more words to say. And it’s not on a subscription basis- just a few buck for lifetime!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect for exploring the Mandelbrot set *2026-03-09, version 2.0.8* Had this app for years, figure i should review it lol ### 5/5 — Right as I was losing hope for no fractal apps.. *2025-12-12, version 2.0.8* It is very good ### 2/5 — I don’t like this, my opinion. *2025-06-24, version 2.0.8* I’d say that Mandelbrowser is way better than this. It uses custom formulas, video exporting, variables, deep zoom, etc. And it is only for Android… and also this annoying steering… how can you make videos that way? ### 5/5 — Unique *2025-06-12, version 2.0.8* One Word - Wow !! ### 5/5 — 🙏🏻 *2025-05-10, version 2.0.8* Hello there! I used to buy Frax HD. There is no update for it right now. I really like this program. But I do not restore the purchase when I download this version of the app. What to do? Guys optimize the application so that it can be run on Mac OS I really miss the application ### 5/5 — Amo esta aplicación *2025-04-13, version 2.0.8* Realmente ha sido un despertar visual encontrar esta aplicación, me encanta su coneccion con la naturaleza y el arte de la matemática ### 5/5 — Cannot purchase credits - link broken *2025-03-07, version 2.0.8* Amazing app and hours of fun, but I really need the high-res images. I try to click the button to buy more credits on iPad Pro M2 and nothing happens. A little loading icon appears for a blink of an eye and goes away. Support very fast response, working on fix right away and added credits. Thanks ## Frequently asked questions about Fraⅹ ### What is Frax?
