• Sculpting tools Clay, flatten, smooth, mask and many other brushes will let you shape your creation. You can also use the trim boolean cutting tool with lasso, rectangle and other shapes, for hardsurface purposes. • Stroke customization Falloff, alphas, tilings, pencil pressure and other stroke parameters can be customized. You can save and load your tools preset as well. • Painting tools Vertex painting with color, roughness and metalness. You can easily manage all your material presets as well. • Layers Record your sculpting and painting operations in separate layers for easier iteration during the creation process. Both the sculpting and painting changes are recorded. • Multiresolution sculpting Go back and forth between multiple resolution of your mesh for a flexible workflow. • Voxel remeshing Remesh quickly your mesh to get a uniform level of detail. It can be used to quickly sketch a rough shape at the beginning of the creation process. • Dynamic topology Refine locally your mesh under your brush to get an automatic level of detail. You can even keep your layers, as they will be automatically updated! • Decimate Reduce the number of polygons by keeping as many details as possible. • Face Group Segment your mesh into subgroups with the face group tool. • Automatic UV unwrap The automatic UV unwrapper can use face groups to control the unwrapping process. • Baking You can transfer vertex data such as color, roughness, metalness and small scaled detail in to textures. You can also do the opposite, transfering textures data into vertex data or layers. • Primitive shape Cylinder, torus, tube, lathe and other primitives can be used to quickly start new shapes from scratch. • PBR rendering Beautiful PBR rendering by default, with lighting and shadows. You can always switch to matcap for a more standard shading for sculpting purposes. • Post processing Screen Space Reflection, Depth of Field, Ambient Occlusion, Tone mapping, etc • Export and Import Supported formats include glTF, OBJ, STL or PLY files. • Interface Easy-to-use interface, designed for mobile experience. Customization is possible as well! • Quad Remesher (separate in-app purchase only) Remesh your object automatically with a quad dominant mesh that follows the mesh curvatures. It supports guides, face groups and density painting.

ScribbleJelly is a grown-up-supervised creative studio where little drawings become big sticker magic. DRAW WITH LOTS OF COLOR Fill the large canvas with 12 friendly colors. Separate Colors, Stickers, and Magic tabs keep the creative tools close without crowding the drawing. DECORATE A WHOLE WORLD Place 105 painted stickers from seven themed collections: Halloween & Fall, Dinosaurs, Weather, Vehicles, Animals, Ocean, and Party. Each collection has 15 stickers. Six starter drawings make it easy to jump in, and Undo and Redo help you explore without losing a favorite idea. EXPLORE PLAYFUL EXAMPLES Browse 11 bundled before-and-after comparisons, including five full scenes made from drawings and groups of stickers. These are clearly labeled illustrative AI demonstrations included with the app. Viewing them does not upload a drawing or use live AI. PICK SOME MAGIC Choose one of four playful styles and mix up to three words from a curated set of 50. Keep the original colors or try a fresh palette. MAKE THREE FREE STICKERS Create three sticker previews on your device, pick your favorite, and go back to change the recipe whenever inspiration strikes. ONLINE SERVICE AVAILABILITY Optional AI, adult-account access, and server-backed credit purchases are currently unavailable. Free on-device drawing, stickers, and exports remain available. The AI/wallet sections below describe implementation that requires those services to be available. OPTIONAL AI WITH A GROWN-UP After the grown-up check, the person self-attests that they are the parent or guardian, reviews the privacy notice, expressly consents, and continues with Apple. An AI upgrade sends the current drawing and selected recipe through ScribbleJelly’s service to OpenAI for moderation and image editing and returns three new sticker choices for one credit. ScribbleJelly’s application database and object storage do not retain submitted drawings or generated images. OpenAI may retain AI request content and related safety metadata under its standard API retention terms. GROWN-UP CREDIT WALLET A new grown-up account starts with 3 AI credits and may receive one free credit on eligible later days. Parents can add 2-credit or 12-credit consumable packs through Apple’s secure purchase sheet. Prices are localized by Apple. Purchases are optional; free on-device sticker-making remains available. SAVE, SHARE, OR PRINT WITH A GROWN-UP Save a uniquely named PNG through Apple’s Files picker to keep original quality and transparent edges. Save a uniquely named white-background JPG, share the PNG to compatible installed cutter or printer apps, or use AirPrint with a nearby printer. One grown-up check unlocks these adult actions for the current supervised app session. DESIGNED FOR CREATING TOGETHER Free sticker-making stays on-device. Optional AI is separated behind the grown-up gate, self-attested parent or guardian consent, and Sign in with Apple for the grown-up. Apple sign-in does not independently verify age or parental relationship. There are no child profiles, ads, third-party analytics, public gallery, messaging, or tracking. Grown-ups can sign out, revoke AI consent, or delete their pseudonymous account in Privacy & Help. ScribbleJelly supports iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 17 or later. Printer and third-party app compatibility depends on the selected device, app, and hardware.
