About

LineForge

Features
Read full description

LineForge is a local-first vector drawing app for creators who need a clean way to sketch scalable artwork and export usable files without a cloud workspace or design-suite subscription. Use it for lightweight vector work: - Create and edit a local drawing from the gallery - Draw rectangles, ellipses, triangles, lines, and pen paths - Select, move, scale, rotate, duplicate, and delete objects - Edit basic path points and handles - Adjust fill, stroke, opacity, and arrangement - Combine closed shapes with boolean operations after unlocking - Export PNG previews, or unlock SVG, PDF, and high-resolution PNG LineForge is not a template marketplace, AI image converter, team collaboration tool, or full desktop design suite. It does not import SVG/PDF files, run cloud sync, offer stock assets, or require an account. The goal is a smaller, focused drawing workflow with reliable local documents and clean export. Your projects are stored locally on your device and exported through the iOS Share Sheet or Files workflow. The Lifetime Unlock adds multi-project saving, SVG export, PDF export, high-resolution PNG export, and complete boolean operations. No subscription, no ads.
