Spiro Designs

Read full description

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.

Lightbloop

Read full description

Lightbloop is a dreamy drawing toy for making glowing color echoes, soft afterimages, and playful visual trips. Draw with your finger and watch simple strokes bloom into luminous trails. Freeze a layer, keep drawing above it, open Dream Lab to tune the mood, or shake your device to randomize the whole trip. When the canvas lands somewhere strange and pretty, save the visible artwork to Photos.
