Two million drawing prompts. Pick one and go make something. Tangent combines four spinning wheels — prompt, technique, material, intention — into over two million unique combinations. Blind contour your morning coffee in charcoal, just to see what it feels like. Draw the negative space of your hands in gestural marks with whatever's nearby. Combinations you'd never have chosen yourself. That's the point. Constraints breed curiosity. Unfamiliar pairings break habits and push you into genuine discovery. Every session is different. None of them are precious. What's inside: — 2,112,000+ unique drawing combinations — 88 prompts, 32 techniques, 30 intentions, 25 materials — A session timer with notes — Reference library from The Met Museum open collection — Methods and theory: Loomis, Bargue, Zorn, Gestalt, value, negative space and more — A grid tool for proportional drawing — Saved combinations and session history Start free. No account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tangent at none against DAILY NOTE's shown. Tangent also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
