About
TraceBuddy helps families practice drawing, tracing, coloring, and early writing with a phone or iPad.
Pick a simple line-art picture, type a custom name or phrase, or choose a local image from the device. TraceBuddy can show the guide over real paper using the camera, or open a locked on-screen coloring canvas for finger and stylus practice.
Features:
- Camera-over-paper tracing with adjustable guide opacity, scale, rotation, and position
- On-screen coloring and tracing mode for times when paper setup is not available
- Previous Work gallery to resume, copy, delete, or start fresh from saved drawings
- Shapes and photo stickers for decorating practice drawings
- Save finished drawings to Photos
- Locked canvas by default so little hands can draw without accidentally moving the page
- Optional pan and zoom for tracing small details
- Built-in kid-friendly tracing templates
- Custom word, name, and phrase tracing
- Marker colors, brush sizes, and pencil, marker, crayon, paint, and eraser tools
- Local photo selection for tracing personal references
- No account, no ads, no analytics, and no cloud uploads
TraceBuddy is designed for parents and children to use together. A parent can pick or upload a guide, set up the camera or practice screen, and let the child trace, color, decorate, and save their work at their own pace.
Privacy is simple: camera video, selected images, custom words, drawings, and saved practice work stay on the device. TraceBuddy does not upload photos, drawings, or camera frames to a server.
