## What is Urbix?

Urbix is the urban sketching journal for people who draw their city. Log every sketch with its place, date and weather, find the best spots to draw, and keep the habit going, one small sketch a day. Pip, a pigeon who loves to draw, keeps you company.

YOUR JOURNAL
• Photograph your sketch, or several pages and details. Urbix adds the place and date; the weather is one tap.
• Add several sketches at once: their dates and places come from the photos.
• See each sketch's main colors next to the paints in your Kit Bag.
• Your sketchbooks, and the page each sketch is on.
• A streak, a calendar, achievements and a Daily Sketch Reminder.
• Export your journal as a PDF sketchbook.

A PROMPT A DAY
• 96 prompts, from quick observations to tiny details, plus your own.
• A Sketch Timer that keeps time even when your iPhone locks.
• Sneaky Art: quick timed sketches to get over the fear of drawing in public.

EXPLORE YOUR CITY
• Save your sketching spots on the map, with comfort details, a photo and notes.
• See your sketches on the map, where you drew them.
• Light Today: the golden hours at each spot, with an alert 30 minutes before.
• Shadow Predict for the next two hours.
• The Drift: follow a compass to surprise stops, each with a mission.
• Sketch Walks through your saved spots.

IN THE STUDIO
• AR Perspective: eye level and vanishing points over your camera view.
• Value Study: the scene in two to four tones, to plan your lights and darks.
• Before & After: compare a sketch with the real scene.

YOUR KIT BAG
• Your supplies, what's running low, and a Restock List.
• Color swatches with photos.
• Pack Your Bag before you head out.

ALSO
• A Private Sketchbook, encrypted and locked with Face ID.
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Today's prompt in Urbix", "My sketch streak in Urbix".
• Dark mode, metric or imperial units, and six languages.
• Back up everything in one file.

PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your sketches stay on your iPhone.
