1.2
October 27, 2026
The drawing update. Layers, up to eight, each with its own symmetry, and they survive into remixes. Real Apple Pencil support: pressure drives width or opacity, strokes are smoothed, hover shows you where every mirrored mark will land. Pinch to zoom. A symmetry dial instead of a slider. Pieces require names now, and the app suggests some so you don't have to stare at the ceiling. Kaleidoscope Plus, a one-time purchase, unlocks eight layers and an unlimited public wall.
