## What is Fractal Dive?

Pinch into a shape that never ends. Or press Dive, lean back, and let the app find its own way down — past a cell, past an atom, past anything that has a name.

Free. No ads, no account, no subscription.

PRESS DIVE

No idea where to look? Press Dive. The app finds the richest part of the shape by itself and travels there, for minutes if you like, deeper all the while. No two dives end up in the same place.

PINCH, AND KEEP PINCHING

A fractal is one simple rule, repeated without end. The result is a shape that never runs out: the closer you look, the more there is. Fractal Dive lets you see that for yourself — and keeps computing where other apps give up.

Nearly every fractal app stalls around a thousand trillion times magnification. That is no coincidence: it is exactly where the precision of ordinary computer numbers runs out, and the picture breaks into blocks.

Fractal Dive works differently. One orbit is computed on the processor using numbers of arbitrary length; the graphics chip then computes only the differences from it. Tested to four times ten to the power 331 — a magnification with 331 zeros — and there is still no bottom in sight.

MADE TO LOOK AT

Nine color schemes, from quiet silver to full rainbow — three free, all nine in Pro — and three ways to color: by step count, by distance to the edge, or by an orbit's closest approach. The coloring reweighs itself at every depth, so a deep zoom never turns into one flat wash. Save or share any picture, and send any place on as a link: whoever opens it lands exactly there.

THREE FAMILIES

The classic Mandelbrot set, the same rule with a third power, and a mirrored variant with sharp points instead of bulbs. All three go equally deep.

NO MATH REQUIRED

Twelve named places with a one-line explanation each, so you start somewhere beautiful straight away. Along the way the app tells you how small you are looking: like a magnifying glass, like a microscope, smaller than a cell, smaller than an atom — and further still.

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES

The same app on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, and on Apple Vision Pro. On the Mac with keyboard, scroll wheel and trackpad, on the TV with the Siri Remote. A widget on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and in StandBy shows a different picture every half hour.

PRO, IF YOU WANT IT

The app is free, and endless zooming stays free, Dive included. A single one-time purchase unlocks Pro: pictures in 4K and 8K, sharp enough for a wallpaper or a print; your dive as a video, rendered sharp afterwards in 1080p or 4K; every color scheme and coloring style; your own saved places, with a name and a thumbnail; ambient mode, diving from place to place by itself; and two more shapes, the Burning Ship and the Julia set of any place. No subscription. Buy once for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV together, Family Sharing included.

HONEST

No account, no ads, no subscription. Fractal Dive collects nothing about you; its only contact with the internet is the App Store, for the Pro purchase.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-14

New in 1.3:

• A widget for your Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy, and on the Mac: a different place every half hour, out of hundreds the app discovered itself. Tap it and you are there. With Pro, your own saved places too.
• Ambient mode (Pro): a different place every minute, calm, full screen and without buttons. Lovely on an iPad on the wall or a Mac in the background.
• Now on Apple TV too, with the Siri Remote. If you have Pro, you have it there as well.
• Works on Apple Vision Pro.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-12

New in 1.2:

• Share a place as a link: whoever opens it lands exactly there, same colours and all. Free.
• Saved places (Pro): keep a find with a name and a thumbnail, and come back to it later.
• Dive: the automatic zoom steers more smoothly, picks its course ahead and keeps to it.
• Your dive as a video (Pro): every dive is recorded; turn it into a sharp video afterwards, in 1080p or 4K.
• Burning Ship, Julia mode and two colouring styles, Edges and Trap (Pro).
• Faster on every device: the kernel skips the inside of the set and sharpens only where it matters.
• Ready for iPhone Duo: the controls keep clear of the camera and the fold.
• Fixed: a stretched picture after turning the phone, and Save As… on the Mac.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-03

Fractal Dive is now free. Endless zooming stays free; anyone who bought the app before has Pro automatically.

New in Pro: save pictures in 4K and 8K, and three new colour schemes — Emerald, Ink and Coral.

Sharing has its own sheet now, with size and file type.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-20

No release notes.
