About

RefApp

Features
Read full description

An art reference board that holds hundreds of images in front of you at once — and keeps every board as a file on your device, not inside somebody's account. Reference apps have a failure mode everyone in this line of work has run into: one day the app loses the board. RefApp is built so that cannot happen quietly. Every board is a single .rfap file sitting in a folder you picked. You can see it in Files, copy it, back it up, move it to another device, or open the folder on a computer. Delete the app tomorrow and your boards are still there. A BOARD YOU CAN SEE ALL AT ONCE • An infinite surface — pan and zoom from the whole wall down to one detail • Hundreds of images on a single board, at any size, anywhere you put them • Double tap to bring everything back into view • Built for a steady frame rate on large boards and large images, not just small ones PUT THINGS EXACTLY WHERE THEY GO • Rotate to any angle, not in 90° steps • Crop, resize and replace an image without leaving the board • Layers for z-order, so anything can sit in front of or behind anything else • Group, duplicate and nudge; undo and redo every step • Write straight onto the board — headings, bold, italic, lists and links — so the note lives next to the reference it belongs to COLLECT WITHOUT BREAKING FLOW • Share images to RefApp from any app on your phone • Pull them in from your photo library or from Files • Drop a screenshot in the moment you take it YOUR BOARDS, YOUR FILES • One board, one .rfap file, in a folder of your choosing • That folder is the project list — rename or delete a file anywhere and the app just follows • Reachable in Files under On My iPhone → RefApp, or from any cloud folder you point it at • Optional Dropbox backup, into an app folder nothing else can read • Works fully offline. No account to make, no server to sign in to, nothing uploaded QUIET BY DESIGN Near-black, no clutter, no feed, no ads, nothing to keep up with. Toolbars collapse and panels slide away while you work, because the references are the thing on screen, not the interface. FREE AND PRO The free version gives you one board with every tool in the app — no watermarks, no locked gestures. RefApp Pro adds unlimited boards, backups to your own cloud folder, and exporting or sharing .rfap project files. Pro is a subscription, monthly or annual, starting with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in your account settings. Built for painters, illustrators, concept artists and designers who would rather look at their references than manage them.
