Fraksl turns your device into a real-time fractal visual engine. Powered by live video feedback, it transforms simple inputs into endlessly evolving, mesmerizing patterns — perfect for live performances, music visuals, generative art, and creative exploration. FILTERS & MIRRORS Apply color filters and mirror transformations to reshape your fractals into new forms. Combine them with layers and modulators for infinite creative possibilities. LAYERS Mix multiple visual sources into your fractals. Use your live camera as input, import images and videos from your library, or receive NDI streams from other apps and devices. Each layer has full control over blend mode, opacity, hue, position, rotation, scale, and chroma keying. SEQUENCES Capture bookmarks of your visual state — filter, mirror, color, and more. Arrange them into sequences with custom transition and hold times for smooth, cinematic playback. Export and share your sequences with others. MODULATORS Automate any parameter with real-time signal sources: Audio — react to sound from your microphone MIDI — connect hardware controllers and DAWs Beat Clock — sync to BPM with adjustable divisions Waveform — generate smooth LFO patterns Motion — use your device's gyroscope and accelerometer Gamepad — connect any controller for hands-on performance Create complex, evolving visuals that respond to music, movement, or external control. CAPTURE & RECORDING Take high-resolution screenshots or record video with optional microphone audio. Share directly from the app. NDI STREAMING Stream your output live over the network to any NDI-compatible software or device. Ideal for live shows, streaming setups, and multi-screen installations.

Liquid Math is a tool for creating art with biological simulations. There are patterns in nature all around you that form spontaneously from surprisingly simple rules. With Liquid Math, you can use these rules to create art with these patterns, which happen naturally in the raised edges of brain corals, pigmentation in animals with stripes, and more. Think of it as a drawing program that brings your brush strokes to life. Features: - 40+ reaction-diffusion presets to get started with. - Make and save your own simulation rules for later. - Change the look with deep theme customization. EPILEPSY WARNING: Liquid Math can produce very rapidly strobing images which may trigger seizures in those with photosensitive epilepsy.
