About
ZenInk turns your iPhone or iPad into a living Chinese ink-wash painting — a small window of calm to keep beside you while you work, rest, or breathe.
Three hand-painted scenes, each made entirely of ink and blank paper:
· Koi Pond — Ink koi drift among a few floating lotus pads, swimming in bursts, then pausing to hover. Touch the water and ripples spread; the fish startle and scatter, then slowly return.
· Lotus in the Rain — A fine rain dimples the pond; the frogs breathe and blink where they sit. Tap a lotus leaf and it trembles, shaking loose droplets — and the frog leaps to another pad.
· Afternoon Sun — A cat naps in a warm shaft of sunlight on the tatami. Wake it with a tap and watch it stir like a real cat, slow and drowsy; stroke it and it squints and purrs.
Everything is drawn by code — brushstrokes, ink bleed, rice-paper grain — so it stays crisp at any size and never repeats. Swipe like unrolling a handscroll to move between scenes. Swipe up on any scene (or tap the red seal in the corner) for a few gentle controls: rain, frogs, wind, fish speed, sway, sound.
No accounts. No ads. No network. No data collected. Just ink, water, and a little life.
