About

Motion Flow paints with the way you hold your phone. Tilt it, and three brushes move across the canvas: one red, one green, one blue. There is nothing to press. TWO CANVASES Pigment is paint on white paper. Colours darken where they layer, and red over green gives brown, the way it does on a palette. Light is light in a dark room. Colours brighten where they cross, red over green gives yellow, and all three give white. You pick one per canvas, because each needs its own ground. THE PAINT COMES FROM THE GESTURE Move slowly and the brush leaves everything it carries. Move quickly and it leaves a trace, because the paint has not had the time to transfer. Nothing on screen controls this. Your hand does. THE BRUSHES HAVE WEIGHT Four bodies to choose from. Rigid is exactly where you point. Loaded rounds off the corners of a gesture. Heavy arrives late into a turn. The whip goes past and comes back. Blue is the heaviest of the three brushes and red the lightest, so the group opens out in a turn and closes again on the straight. You can move the three brushes apart or join them together, and they mix wherever their paint overlaps. ALSO INSIDE Three paint modes: watercolour, acrylic, oil. Save your work to Photos whenever you like. Statistics, if you enjoy knowing how far your wrist has travelled. Five languages: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese. Made for iPhone and iPad. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. No account. Nothing leaves the device. There is an optional tip. It unlocks nothing: the app is all here. Made for the pleasure of trying something out.

What's New in Motion Flow

1.2.0

September 22, 2026

A bigger update than the number suggests. Almost everything inside has changed. TWO CANVASES Pigment is colour on white paper, where colours darken as they layer. Light is light in a dark room, where they brighten as they cross. You choose one when you open the app. THE PAINT COMES FROM THE GESTURE Move slowly and the brush leaves everything it carries. Move quickly and it leaves a trace. Nothing on screen controls it. THE BRUSHES HAVE WEIGHT Four bodies: rigid, loaded, heavy, and a whip that goes past and comes back. Blue is the heaviest of the three and red the lightest, so they open out in a turn and close again on the straight. The brushes now mix wherever their paint overlaps, not only when they are held near each other. A stroke no longer stops short of the edge of the canvas, and no longer draws a line along it. FIXED Recent sessions in the statistics are now actually the most recent, and show the time as well as the day. The distance travelled was wrong by a factor of 6.4, and is now a distance you could measure with a ruler. Brush settings are remembered between sessions, and apply the moment you choose them. REBUILT The opening screen, the controls above the canvas, and the whole layout on iPad. The app follows the dark theme. Now in five languages, Brazilian Portuguese included.
