Color Bud is a calm, ad-free coloring book. Hand-drawn kawaii outlines, three brushes that feel real, and zero distractions. Open it. Color. Close it. That's it. WHAT'S INSIDE • 129 hand-drawn outlines across 7 categories: animals, fantasy, nature, food, vehicles, objects and shapes • 3 brushes that feel real: crayon, marker and watercolor • A bright Sunshine Sprinkles palette • A gallery to keep every finished piece • 3 languages: English, Español, Português WHAT'S NOT • No ads — ever • No in-app purchases • No accounts, no login, no email • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection • No internet required — works fully offline DESIGNED TO BE CALM Big touch targets. Gentle sounds when you pick a color or brush. No menus to get lost in. No popups to break the flow. We use Apple Pencil-quality stroke smoothing under the hood, so even a wobbly line feels intentional. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every drawing happens on the device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. The app does not request camera, microphone, location or any other sensitive permission. The only thing in Settings is language and credits. ABOUT THE OUTLINES The 129 coloring pages were generated with open-source FLUX.1 + a Coloring-Book LoRA, then vectorized and refined by hand. Every page is original. No third-party characters, no copyrighted material. HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT Most coloring apps hide ads behind a friendly icon, beg for reviews, or push subscriptions. Color Bud is a single one-time purchase made by one indie developer. That's it. If you finish the gallery and want more pages, write to us — we ship new packs based on what people actually like coloring. --- INDIE-BUILT, NO STRINGS Made by Chris Flores in Mexico.
