Spiro Designs draws the patterns a small circle makes as it rolls around the inside of a large one. Stamp circles or polygons at every step, or let a single point leave a spirograph trail, then play with size, spacing, colour and blend mode until something beautiful appears. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Pick a shape: circles, a line, triangles, squares, all the way up to decagons, or a classic spirograph curve • Pinch the drawing to change size, drag sideways to change spacing, drag up and down for line weight • Choose fill, outline or both, with 23 named colours or random colours on every change • Combine overlapping colours with 20 blend modes, from Difference and Exclusion to Screen and Multiply • Even-odd fill turns overlapping shapes into lace and checkerboard patterns • Start from twelve curated presets, or roll a random design with one tap • Animate the design being drawn, and tap for a clean full-screen view • Undo and redo every change • Keep up to 50 named designs and reopen, update or rename them • Share as a high-resolution PNG, save to Photos, or export an SVG vector file for design apps, plotters and cutters No account, no ads, no tracking. Your designs stay on your device.

Vesica Studio is a precision drawing tool for sacred geometry, mandalas, and geometric art. Built for artists, designers, and anyone drawn to the beauty of mathematical pattern, it combines real-time symmetry engines with an intuitive, distraction-free interface. DRAW WITH SYMMETRY Draw once and watch your strokes echo across the canvas in real time. Choose from radial symmetry (2-fold to 24-fold, perfect for mandalas and rose windows), reflective symmetry (mirror your lines across any axis for kaleidoscopic effects), or wallpaper symmetry (tile your strokes across 17 wallpaper groups for seamless repeat patterns). Every brush stroke, every pressure variation, every tilt of the Apple Pencil is mirrored instantly. The symmetry follows your hand with no lag and no delay. TRANSFORM YOUR CANVAS Apply real-time transforms to any drawing and watch your work evolve into something entirely new. Kaleidoscope mode reflects and rotates your canvas into mesmerizing crystalline patterns. Spiral mode warps your drawing into logarithmic spirals, Fibonacci curves, and vortex forms. Wallpaper mode tiles your artwork into seamless repeating patterns. Each transform lets you adjust position with precise X/Y sliders, fine-tune zoom and rotation, and dial in the exact look. Reposition the effect anywhere on your canvas until it clicks. BUILT FOR REAL ARTISTS Apple Pencil is fully supported with pressure and tilt sensitivity for natural line variation. Press lightly for faint whispers, dig in for bold strokes. Unlimited undo lets you experiment without fear, every mark can be reversed. Export your finished work at full resolution, ready for prints, wallpapers, tattoos, and digital art. The dark interface stays out of your way so your geometry takes center stage. Works on both iPhone and iPad in all orientations. SACRED GEOMETRY, MODERN TOOLS From the Flower of Life to Metatron's Cube, from Gothic rose windows to Islamic tessellations, geometric pattern has been humanity's universal visual language for thousands of years. Vesica Studio gives you the precision tools to explore these patterns, whether you're a tattoo artist designing a sleeve, a graphic designer creating branding, or a meditator drawing mandalas for stillness. The app is named after the Vesica Piscis, the almond-shaped intersection of two circles, the seed from which the Flower of Life grows. It's the simplest sacred geometry form, and the beginning of everything you can create here. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No sign-in. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. No network calls.
