Stipple is a focused pose timer for figure drawing, gesture practice, and life drawing sessions. A clean ring clock, an unmissable chime, and the session structure working artists actually use — all on a single, paper-warm stage. No clutter, no popups, no upsells. KEY FEATURES • Big ring clock that fills as each pose runs — see your time at a glance • Built-in session presets: Warm-up, Standard Mix, Marathon, Master Long, Gesture Burst • Five pose categories: Gesture, Quick, Standard, Long, Master — each tuned to a sketch goal • Custom plans: stack your own sequence of poses with any duration and category • Audible chime at every pose transition and at session end • Skip a pose with one tap when you need to move on • Session history: every completed sit is logged with date, length, and pose count • Background audio so the chimes keep firing while your screen is off DESIGNED FOR THE EASEL Whether you are warming up with 30-second gestures, building a 25-minute mix of quick and long sits, or settling into a 20-minute master study, Stipple stays out of the way and just keeps time. The charcoal-and-sanguine palette is built for studio light, not glaring whites. POSE CATEGORIES • Gesture (30s) — loose lines, feel the flow • Quick (1m) — establish proportions and main lines • Standard (2m) — build form, light, and shadow • Long (5m) — develop value and detail • Master (10–20m) — every detail counts PRIVACY No tracking.
