## What is PencilDrop?

PencilDrop is adult coloring with a daily art contest. A new line-art page drops every day, the same page for everyone. Color it your way on iPad or iPhone, with Apple Pencil or your finger, enter it, and see where you rank.

A NEW PAGE EVERY DAY
Daily, weekly and monthly drops, each its own competition with its own leaderboard. Pages range from bold, easy designs to intricate mandalas, botanicals, architecture, wildlife and shaded sketches, and each one shows roughly how long it takes: a few relaxing minutes, or an evening on the details.

JUDGED BY PEOPLE, IN PAIRS
Entries are judged side by side, two at a time and without names, by other people. No likes, no follower counts, no popularity contest: a rating that rewards the work. Judge a few pairs to unlock your own rank.

CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS
Global and country leaderboards for every drop, with season and yearly standings. Your result shows your percentile and how many matchups you won. Keep a daily streak going, and hold a streak freeze for the day you miss.

EARN INK, WIN PRIZES
Earn Ink for entering, judging, streaks and placings, and spend it on streak freezes, extra archive pages, extra draft slots, more room for finished art, palettes, profile frames and backdrops. Ink is never sold on its own. Top placings win titles, palettes, profile frames, backdrops, badges, a prize brush and entry to exclusive drops, and long streaks and steady judging earn their own. Prizes are digital and have no cash value.

MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL
Pressure and tilt shading, a brush preview as the tip hovers on supported iPads, double-tap to switch to the eraser, and a squeeze on Apple Pencil Pro to bring the palette to your tip. Color stays inside the lines of each shape. Pencil, marker, crayon and airbrush, an eyedropper and a color wheel, with undo and zoom for the fine work. No Pencil? Tap a shape to fill it, or color by hand with your finger.

YOUR AVATAR, COLORED BY YOU
Pick an avatar, color it and enter it in the weekly avatar competition: your colored avatar becomes your profile picture. The first page shows you the way: a hand points to each tool, and you are coloring straight away.

SHARE THE MAKING
Turn your coloring of any drop into a vertical time-lapse video and share it anywhere. Anyone with your link can judge a pair in their browser.

COLOR FOR YOURSELF TOO
Treat the archive as your own coloring book: color past pages at your own pace, or open a blank page, and share a picture of it. Your work saves as you go, coloring works offline, and your drafts follow you to your other devices when you sign in. Light and dark themes.

PENCILDROP PLUS
An optional monthly or yearly subscription. It removes ads and adds Ink to spend in the shop each paid month, a Plus Edition palette, frame or backdrop with each paid month to keep, the chisel and watercolor brushes, 6 more palettes and saving your own, a second streak freeze, 20 draft slots instead of 5, unlimited room for your finished art, the whole archive, three new Studio pages a week to color for yourself, and longer time-lapses with the watermark optional. Entering is free for everyone, and Plus never changes how you are judged or what you can win. Plus renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

FAIR AND SAFE BY DESIGN
There are no comments or messages between people, and any entry can be reported or its colorist blocked in two taps. Coloring pages are made with AI image generation, and a person reviews every page before it is published.

Color without an account; sign in with Apple, Google or an email link to enter competitions. Competitions are free to enter. Apple is not a sponsor of, or involved in, PencilDrop's competitions. PencilDrop is not made for children: you must be 16 or over to use it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-11-05

A fresh page every day, judged by people. In this update:
• Plus competitions: exclusive daily and weekly competitions for Plus members, on their own tab on Today and judged the same way. The everyday competitions are still open to everyone.
• A cleaner Today: the pages come first, each tile shows how long it takes to color and the time left to enter, and carousels stay still.
• Latest results shows your results best first, then every other competition's winners, and you can watch the podium's time-lapses.
• Fill corrections: after you undo a fill, your next tap won't fill that shape again, and a tap never refills a shape with the color it already has.

And many other fixes and improvements/

### 1.2.1 — 2026-11-02

What’s New in Version 0.1.24

Your art, right on your Home Screen
Add the new PencilDrop widgets to your Home Screen:

Showcase displays your favourite finished pieces in frames.
Featured fills a whole widget with the one piece you pick.
In Progress shows the page you’re colouring and how far along it is.
Countdown shows how long until the new pages arrive or your results are in.

Count down on your Lock Screen
After you enter a competition, tap “Count down on your Lock Screen” to see a live timer to your results without opening the app.

Fill is fixed
Fill now colours every area completely and in the right place, on every iPhone and iPad.

Swipe through all of Today’s pages
Daily, Weekly and Monthly pages are now one continuous row, so you can swipe through everything new without switching tabs.

Your first pieces get pride of place
Your first three finished colourings go straight into your showcase, with no extra taps.

A fresh shop window every hour
The Shop card on Today now shows three different things from the shop and changes every hour.

Tell us what you’d like to colour
A new “Got feedback?” card on Today lets you send ideas and requests for pages and styles in one tap. We read every message.

Smoother finishing

The screen after you enter now fits on one page, so “Keep going” is always in view.
The colouring screen’s top bar is cleaner.

As well as fixes and performance improvements.
Update now to start colouring!

### 1.2 — 2026-11-01

• Two pages every drop: a Relaxed page and an Intricate page. Switch between Daily, Weekly and Monthly on Today, and swipe from one page to the next.
• There's always a daily competition open to enter, and results come in as soon as judging finishes.
• Weekly competitions now open on Sundays.
• Today starts with the page you're working on, shows roughly how long each page takes, and keeps track of your colouring week.
• Challenge a friend from anywhere you can send an invite, then see your two pictures side by side and react.
• Sharing an entry now shares the finished picture, cropped to the page.
• Colouring: one tap on Brush or Eraser opens the brush settings. When you're zoomed in, the app shows where you are on the page and helps you find the last unfilled shapes. Pages also open faster.
• Art collection: star a piece to showcase it, and buy frames right from Select.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements.
