## What is Kakineta?

Keep your drawing ideas close, choose what to work on, and see your progress grow.

Kakineta is a creative companion for planning illustration projects and building a drawing habit. Save work made on paper or in your favorite drawing app, together with notes about what you learned.

COLLECT AND CONNECT IDEAS
Save characters, motifs, and compositions with notes and reference images. Organize them into categories. Connect words in a mind map with automatic layout, so you can focus on developing the idea.

FIND YOUR NEXT PROMPT
Pick randomly from your saved subjects when you cannot decide what to draw. Start a timed doodle session and make room for a little practice.

TRACK GOALS AND CREATIVE TIME
Use quests for drawing counts, textbook progress, repeated practice, group artwork, and more. See and stop your active work timer from any screen. Add or edit work time manually, then return to an unfinished quest or artwork with Continue Working.

KEEP A CREATIVE JOURNAL
Save finished pieces and works in progress to your gallery. Record what went well and what was difficult. Keep original character settings, references, and artwork together. Share an image with your record to X or other apps.

STUDY THE DIFFERENCES — FULL VERSION
Compare a reference with your own artwork. Move, scale, rotate, crop, adjust opacity, add notes, and draw redlines.

CONTINUE ON IPHONE AND IPAD
Use iCloud with the same Apple Account to sync subjects, artwork records, quests, and mind maps. Mind maps sync while the app is open. Comparison Study data is stored separately on each device.
Export and import backups. Importing keeps your current data and adds missing items. Update all your devices to the latest version before importing across devices.

START FOR FREE
The free version includes up to 20 subjects, one reference image per subject, one active quest, and three mind maps. A one-time Full Version purchase expands these limits and unlocks Comparison Study.
No ads. No tracking.

From a small idea to your next finished piece, keep creating at your own pace.
