benoît M vs Megalith

benoît M is a visual exploration of the Mandelbrot set — one of the most iconic and fascinating shapes in mathematics. Named in homage to Benoît Mandelbrot, who discovered this fractal-set named after him in 1979. The mathematician introduced the world to fractal geometry. This app lets you dive into a universe created from one deceptively simple formula: repeat z² + c, again and again. From that small rule emerge endless spirals, islands, valleys, coastlines, and self-similar structures that continue to reveal new detail as you zoom deeper. With real-time Metal rendering, benoît M turns fractal exploration into a smooth, visual experience. Pinch to zoom, pan to move, and double-tap to dive into interesting regions. Switch between classic Mandelbrot rendering and a beautiful pseudo-3D relief mode that gives the fractal a sculptural, almost metallic depth. Customize the look with image gradients, procedural palettes, inverted or flipped color styles, and adjustable iteration quality. When you find a scene worth keeping, export it as a square high-resolution PNG — up to 8K — directly to your Photo Library. Features: - Explore the Mandelbrot set interactively - Smooth Metal-based rendering - Classic Mandelbrot and pseudo-3D relief modes - Image-based and procedural color gradients - Adjustable iteration depth - Pinch, pan, and double-tap navigation - High-resolution PNG export: 2K and 8K - Saved app state, so you continue where you left off A compact tribute to Benoît Mandelbrot and the beauty of fractal geometry Whether you are fascinated by mathematics, generative art, abstract visuals, or simply beautiful patterns, benoît M invites you to explore infinity — one zoom at a time.

Megalith turns a handful of words into a striking, block-justified text graphic — and now sets it in motion. Every line is stretched to fill the same width, with each line's font size set by how much text it holds — so your words form a solid block with clean edges on both sides. It's the look of vintage justified posters ("ON THE BEACH," the old "FALL IN" recruitment prints), rebuilt as a fast, tactile app. Type. Shuffle. Share. Enter a phrase and Megalith lays it out instantly. Don't love the arrangement? Tap Shuffle to re-roll the line breaks and font mix — every tap is a fresh composition. Step back through previous shuffles with Undo. NOW IN MOTION Tap Animate to bring your poster to life. Each line stretches and snaps into place, turning your finished graphic into a short, looping animation. Export it as a GIF or video, built for social posts, stories, and feeds where motion catches the eye. The static poster works exactly as before — Animate just gives it a second life in motion. MADE FOR - Quotes, lyrics, and one-liners - Album-cover and merch-style lettering - Social posts, stories, and covers — still or animated - Anyone who loves bold typography FEATURES - Block-justified layout that fills clean left and right edges automatically - Animate your poster into a looping GIF or video — made for stories and posts - Shuffle to re-roll fonts and line breaks — with Undo - Three typeface families: sans serif, serif, and slab serif - Multiple fonts mixed across lines for real poster character - Force your own line breaks by pressing return - Adjustable minimum line length to control how short a line can get - Pick any text and background color - Use a photo as your background, with optional blur - Four canvas formats: Square, Portrait (4:5), Story (9:16), and Poster (2:3) - Live preview that matches your export exactly — what you see is what you share - High-resolution export to Photos, Messages, social apps, and Files DESIGNED TO FEEL EFFORTLESS Behind the simple interface is a careful layout engine that measures the actual ink of each letter to align edges precisely, then balances fonts and breaks for a result that looks composed, not computed. That same care carries into motion — the animation follows the layout, so it looks designed, not just animated. You just type — Megalith makes it look intentional. No account. No subscription. Just type a few words and make something worth sharing — still or in motion.
